100% Sheep's Wool & Machine Washable
Renewable & Sustainable
Sheep's Wool provides a sense of comfort and security, a gentle reminder of the warmth of the womb. It acts as a natural insulator, providing warmth during the winter and coolness in the summer. Its ability to retain body heat helps regulate core temperature year round, alleviates gas, and aids digestion.
What is the difference between sheepskin and sheep wool?
Sheepskin is the hide of the animal and includes the wool attached to the hide. In a sheepskin, the wool remains attached. Sheep wool is the fibre sheared off the sheep and used to make various wool products. At Soul Comfort, we use a sheep wool fabric to manufacture most of our products.
What is sheep wool fabric?
The fabric used in our products is a combination of wool fibre (sheared off the sheep), a nylon grid and a medical grade acrylic liquid stabilizer. It is made using a process that takes the loose wool and ‘knits’ it into the nylon grid. Then, the acrylic is used to stabilize the wool in place and create a flat surface by which the fabric can be cut. This results in a material that has the look of a sheepskin, without the hide of the animal. As a result, the wool is machine washable.

When it comes to providing the best sleeping and playing environment for newborns, nothing compares to the comfort and health benefits of sheep wool mats. These natural and high-quality mats, available at Soul Comfort, offer a range of advantages that make them the ideal choice for your little one.
1. Moisture Absorption
Sheep wool mats have excellent moisture absorption properties. This means that any moisture, such as sweat or spills, is quickly absorbed by the wool fibers, keeping the surface dry and comfortable for your newborn. This is especially important during sleep and playtime, as it helps prevent discomfort and skin irritations.
2. Bacteria Resistance
Sheep wool is naturally resistant to bacteria growth. This makes wool mats a hygienic choice for newborns, as they provide a clean and safe surface for them to sleep and play on. The natural properties of wool help inhibit the growth of bacteria, reducing the risk of infections and allergies.
3. Breathability
Wool is a breathable material, allowing air to circulate freely. This breathability is essential for newborns, as it helps regulate their body temperature and prevents overheating. Wool mats create a comfortable and cozy environment for your little one, ensuring they stay cool in warmer weather and warm in colder temperatures.
4. Softness and Comfort
Sheep wool mats are incredibly soft and gentle, providing a plush surface for your newborn to sleep and play on. The natural fibers of wool offer a cushioning effect, making it a comfortable and cozy space for your little one to relax and explore. The softness of wool mats helps promote better sleep and supports healthy development.
5. Natural and Chemical-Free
At Soul Comfort, we prioritize the use of natural materials in our products. Our sheep wool mats are made from 100% natural wool, free from harmful chemicals and synthetic materials. This ensures that your newborn is exposed to a safe and non-toxic environment, promoting their overall well-being.
When it comes to providing the best for your newborn, choosing sheep wool mats is a decision you won't regret. The moisture absorption, bacteria resistance, breathability, softness, and natural properties of wool make it the perfect choice for their comfort and health. Explore our range of sheep wool mats at Soul Comfort and give your little one the best sleeping and playing 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.
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.
