FAQ

What is sheep wool fabric?

Our fabric is made from 100% shorn sheep wool, knitted into a nylon grid for strength and shape retention, then stabilized with a medical‑grade acrylic compound for washability. This ensures the body lies on pure wool fibre — not hide — while meeting IPAC guidelines.

Why a nylon grid?

  • Prevents fraying
  • Maintains shape better than cotton or wool alone
  • Similar to nylon reinforcement in wool socks
  • Renewable and sustainable

Why an acrylic stabilizer?

  • Developed in Germany for high‑standard washability
  • Used safely for decades with no reported allergies
  • Allows full machine washability to 70°C
  • Ensures long‑term durability

How does wool help with pressure injuries?

Wool distributes weight evenly, reduces pressure points, and stabilizes temperature — key factors in preventing ulcers and supporting healing.

Is wool good for night sweats?

Yes. Wool absorbs moisture without feeling wet and releases it into the air, keeping sleepers dry — especially helpful for menopausal night sweats.

Is this the same as sheepskin?

No.

  • Sheepskin = hide + wool attached
  • Sheep wool fabric = shorn wool fibre knitted into a backing
    Our products use sheep wool fabric, making them washable, breathable, and humane.

Why Wool?

Wool is one of nature’s most advanced performance fibres, breathable, durable, and exceptionally comfortable. It creates a stable, balanced sleep environment that works for all types of sleepers, all year round.

Temperature Regulation

Wool naturally keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer. It adapts to your body temperature, making it ideal for hot sleepers, cold sleepers, and couples with different comfort needs.

Moisture Management

Wool absorbs 30–40% of its weight in moisture without feeling damp. It pulls humidity away from the skin and releases it into the air, keeping bedding dry, fresh, and comfortable through the night.

Naturally Clean

Wool is naturally antimicrobial and antibacterial. It resists odour, mildew, and bacteria, staying fresher longer and requiring less washing than synthetic bedding.

Pressure‑Soft Comfort

Wool fibres gently cushion the body, reducing pressure points and helping muscles relax. This creates a softer, more forgiving sleep surface that supports deeper rest.

Breathable & Non‑Clammy

Unlike foam or polyester, wool never traps heat or moisture. It stays breathable and comfortable, preventing the “hot and sticky” feeling common with synthetic bedding.

Renewable & Sustainable

Wool is a renewable fibre shorn from sheep annually. It’s biodegradable, long‑lasting, and produced with far less environmental impact than synthetic materials.

Humane Alternative to Sheepskin

Our products use sheep wool fabric, not sheepskin.

  • Sheepskin = hide + wool
  • Sheep wool fabric = shorn wool fibre knitted into a backing

This makes our products washable, breathable, and humane, the sheep keep their hide, and the wool grows back naturally.


Medical Sheep Wool Seating Mat

950 g Medical Wool • Coccyx Protection • Moisture Control • Non‑Slip Backing

This Medical Sheep Wool Seating Mat provides exceptional cushioning for bony butts, coccyx sensitivity, and anyone who experiences discomfort when sitting for extended periods. Made from 100% medical‑grade 950 g sheep wool fabric, it evenly distributes pressure, reduces strain, and helps prevent pressure‑related pain and skin breakdown.

Wool’s natural ability to regulate temperature and absorb moisture keeps the seating area dry, cool, and hygienic, making this pad ideal for wheelchairs, recliners, office chairs, and car seats. A non‑slip rubber backing ensures the mat stays securely in place.

Available in Natural White, in 19" × 19" or 22" × 22".


Why Choose a Medical Sheep Wool Seating Mat

Pressure Relief & Coccyx Support

The dense 950 g wool pile redistributes weight evenly, reducing pressure points and helping prevent discomfort, aches, and long‑term strain.

Moisture Absorption

Wool absorbs 30–40% of its weight in moisture and releases it into the air, preventing dampness and protecting vulnerable skin.

Temperature Regulation

Wool maintains a stable microclimate, warm in winter, cool in summer, keeping muscles relaxed and reducing stiffness.

Antimicrobial & Antibacterial

Wool naturally resists bacteria, mold, and fungus, creating a healthier seating environment.

Breathability

Unlike synthetic surfaces that trap heat and moisture, wool allows air to circulate, preventing sweat buildup and irritation.

Natural Materials for Sensitive Skin

Wool and hemp fibres are breathable, moisture‑wicking, and naturally resistant to bacteria, ideal for long sitting periods.


Sheepskin vs. Sheep Wool Fabric

  • Sheepskin = hide + wool attached

  • Sheep wool fabric = wool fibre shorn from the sheep, knitted into a backing

  • Our seating mats use sheep wool fabric, making them washable, breathable, and humane


What Is Sheep Wool Fabric?

Our medical wool fabric is made from:

  • 100% wool fibre (shorn from sheep)

  • Knitted into a nylon grid for strength and shape retention

  • Stabilized with a medical‑grade acrylic compound for washability

Why this matters:

  • The nylon grid prevents fraying and maintains shape

  • The acrylic stabilizer (developed in Germany) allows full washability to 70°C

  • No allergies have been reported in decades of use

  • The body lies on pure wool fibre, not hide

  • Meets Canadian Infection Control Standards (IPAC)


General Care

  • Expect light shedding at first; normal for new wool

  • Air‑fluff in dryer (no heat) for 5 minutes to remove loose fibres

  • Keep away from high heat and direct sunlight

  • Wool may “clump” over time ,this does not affect performance

  • Brush with a metal brush after washing if you prefer a fluffier look

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


Washing Instructions

  • Machine wash on delicate in cool/lukewarm water (up to 70°C)

  • Use wool soap containing lanolin (e.g., Eucalan)

  • Air dry recommended

  • You may tumble dry without heat to fluff

  • Remove at 85% dry, remaining moisture dissipates quickly

  • Spot clean with warm water (up to 70°C) and disinfecting soap

  • Do not bleach

Wool is naturally antimicrobial and does not require frequent laundering. To freshen, hang outside in moist air, out of direct sunlight.

    Renewable & Sustainable

  • 100% Natural
  • Biodegradable
  • Naturally Breathable
  • Wrinkle Resistant
  • 100% Renewable
100% Natural

Wool is a completely natural fiber, produced year-round by over 68 million sheep in Australia. These sheep thrive on a simple diet of grass, water, fresh air, and sunshine.

Biodegradable

Once wool fibers are discarded, they naturally break down in soil within a few years, gradually returning beneficial nutrients to the ground.

Naturally Breathable

Merino wool is highly breathable, with fibers that can absorb significant amounts of moisture vapor and release it into the air through evaporation.

Wrinkle Resistant

On a microscopic scale, each Merino wool fiber acts like a tiny spring, bouncing back to its original shape after being bent. This natural elasticity helps Merino garments resist wrinkling.

100% Renewable

Australian sheep grow a new fleece annually, making wool a fully renewable natural fiber.
