Trusted in hospitals and homes alike, genuine sheepskin offers benefits unmatched by synthetic fiber alternatives. Below is a short list of some of the benefits of sheepskin along with links to  sources and detailed research.

​

1. Skin Protection: Medical-grade sheepskin evenly distributes body weight, reducing pressure points and the risk of bedsores or skin breakdown.​

2. Temperature Regulation: Wool fibers breathe naturally, keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter. This adaptive comfort makes sheepskin ideal for long-term sitting, sleeping, or recovery care. 

3. Moisture Control: Sheepskin can absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling damp, helping to maintain a dry, healthy skin surface.

4. Joint Relief: The dense, springy wool pile provides natural cushioning, easing pressure on hips, shoulders, and joints.

5. Hypoallergenic: Sheepskin is also dust-mite resistant, making it safe for sensitive or delicate skin.

6. Antibacterial: Pure wool contains lanolin, a natural substance that resists bacteria and odor.

7. Promotes rest: Medical sheepskin minimizes friction and shear, supporting faster skin recovery and greater overall comfort for those with limited mobility.

8. Durable: Medical sheepskins are tested for long-term performance—retaining softness and structure through many wash cycles.

9. Sustainable: Wool is a renewable, biodegradable fiber that returns nutrients to the soil at the end of its life. Choosing natural sheepskin supports sustainable comfort and responsible sourcing.
