Medical sheepskin rugs increase patient comfort in two ways: First, the dense shearling wool naturally distributes pressure. This immediately increases blood flow and decreases discomfort at common and sensitive pressure points. This is especially beneficial for patients who are confined to one position for long periods of time.
Second, the wool pile provides a continuously dry environment due to the natural breathability of the wool fibres. Lambswool wicks away moisture and promotes air flow to maintain a dry and insulating comfort. This greatly reduces the development or expansion of bed sores, as bacteria can't thrive in a dry environment. This breathability occurs because wool is a soft and hollow spring coil fibre.

The wool pile in all of our medical sheepskin pads has been trimmed to 30mm (1.25") to reduce matting from over use.  They have extra dense wool and are machine washable or dry cleanable, although we recommend spot cleaning.
Medical sheepskin pelts are specially selected for their larger size and high wool density. They are most commonly uses in beds and wheelchairs, but are very versatile and can also be used on recliners, chairs, and couches.

Our medical sheepskins are tanned in Europe with the most environment friendly. skin friendly products and procedures that adhere to strict European standards.
