Some Best Practices For Sheepskin

​​

Placement:

The pelt should be placed, fleece side up, directly beneath the patient on the mattress or seat. It should positioned to cover pressure points of concern such as the tailbone, hips, heels, and shoulder blades.

​

Turning:

Just like the patient, natural sheepskin needs turning! For optimal comfort, fluff and shake the pelt regularly to restore the loft and resilience of the wool fibers. 

​

Cleaning:

Sheepskin is easy to care for as it is naturally anti-microbial, but may be machine (or hand) washed when necessary. Genuine sheepskin requires wool-friendly detergents and gentle wash cycles (cold water). Tumble dry on a low/air setting, or ideally, lay flat to air dry away from direct sunlight. The pelt must be completely dry before re-use.
