Yeovil

its Home Southdown Duvets is delighted to announce that it has taken up residence in the Emporium, Princes Street, Yeovil. Having recently moved from Devon, founder Jessica Cross says “the busy, jazzy, creative and quirky vibe of the Emporium is perfect for us.”

Jessica goes on to say: “While many people are now aware of the joys of wool bedding, there are lots of folk out there who are seriously missing out on the health benefits of the wonderful Southdown wool duvet. So we will be in the Emporium March 2nd ready to introduce you to a life changing experience.”

So what is it all about?

“It is about how our clever sheep can help resolve your sleep issues, especially the dreaded night sweats, to ensure you benefit from healthy, restorative sleep, night after night. It’s also about making ethical and environmentally sound choices since our bedding is hypoallergenic, free from dust mite and fully bio-degradable. Made from 100% pure British Southdown wool, you will also be supporting our national farmers. So drop in to the Emporium and meet Anne and Jessica, the Duvet Ladies. Our lovely footstool ewe, called Mirabelle, and her two cute lambs will also be on hand to greet you. We all love bleating about our bedding! So don’t feel shy.” one of their community offices or from home, using provided equipment and internet phones. Free training is starting soon.

If you can listen with an open mind, have strong IT skills (including typing) and you are looking for a way to help your local community, this could be an ideal opportunity for you.

“After 12 years in the business there is nothing we haven’t already heard, seen and gone out of our way to help resolve. And after hearing us bleat, you may be up for a treat - so we will give you a £2 voucher to enjoy in the Emporium’s café.”

Southdown Duvets is a bedding range established in 2010, which makes use of 100% British wool. The products offer customers a personal and environmentally healthy choice over feather/down and synthetic bedding.
