Comfort Pad medical / Custom Pads upon request

The Comfort Pads

Sheep's Wool regulates body temperature to 37 degrees Celsius. Wool has body heat and keeps your body warm all night, keeping your muscles soft so your body is not stiff in the morning. You can use your energy to regenerate and heal, which is what sleep is all about.

Sheep's Wool is highly moisture-absorbent. It absorbs 30-40% of its weight in moisture and releases it into the air. If synthetics surround you, your body will become damp, and your skin will be vulnerable. Lying in humidity creates the perfect environment for skin to break down and for bacteria to thrive. 

Sheep's Wool is anti-microbial and anti-bacterial. Our high-density sheep's wool offers pressure redistribution, offloading, and bed sore prevention.  If an area of the body is reddened, you usually have a window of 24-36 hours before skin breakdown. Medical Comfort Pads are necessary for anyone concerned about bedsore prevention and overall comfort. Made with medical sheep's wool, this cushion helps maintain core body temperature while providing antimicrobial and moisture absorption properties. Trust in this pad's medical benefits for a comfortable and healthy experience.

General care:

Expect a small amount of shedding when the product is new as there will be some loose fibres. You can machine air fluff (no heat) for five minutes to remove excess fibres. Keep away from high heat and direct sunlight.

Over time and with more use, wool fibres will naturally bind together creating a more ‘clumped’ look. This change in the look does not affect the performance of the wool. You will still receive all of the natural and beautiful benefits. If you prefer a fluffier look, you can brush the product with a metal brush after laundering.

With care, your wool products will last many, many years.

Washing instructions:

Machine washable on delicate setting in cool/lukewarm water (up to 70°C) with a wool soap containing lanolin, such as Eucalan. Air drying is recommended. You may use a dryer WITHOUT HEAT to fluff your product. Remove from dryer before it dries completely (up to 85%). The excess moisture will not be felt and will disperse into the air quickly. If you over-dry the sheep wool overlay, it may knob to the point that with brushing, it may not come out.

Wool is anti-microbial and will not need excessive laundering. To freshen your product, air it out by hanging outside when the air is moist, out of direct sunlight. When you bring it back inside, the wool will release the moisture into the air. This moisture redistribution results in a refreshening. If there is some staining or seepage from wounds, you can spot clean with warm water (up to 70°C) and a disinfecting soap. Do not bleach.

Our comfort mats are crafted from sheep wool fabric:

• 100% sheep wool fiber knitted into a nylon grid and stabilized with an acrylic compound for washability and durability. The sheep wool is natural white wool. The benefit of wool for the body lies in the wool fiber, not the hide.
  • * Why is there a nylon grid? Is it similar to the carpet kits we made as kids? It maintains its shape better than cotton and wool; it doesn't fray and is durable. Nylon is commonly blended with wool in socks for added strength. The sheep are shorn repeatedly, and since nylon is renewable and sustainable, it complements the wool well. The acrylic polymer solution was created in Germany, a country with high standards for full machine washability. It has been used in the drapery industry for decades, and no allergies have been reported; it is a most favorable combination with sheep wool fabric. The gift to the body is in the wool fiber and is the surface the body lays on. This way, we get to enjoy the properties of the wool fiber, the sheep get shorn and keep their life, and we meet infection control standards,
