Care instructions

  • Machine wash on delicate in cool/lukewarm water (up to 70°C)
  • Use wool soap with lanolin (e.g., Eucalan)
  • Air dry or tumble with no heat
  • Remove from dryer at about 85% dry
  • Spot clean with warm water with Eucalan or disinfecting soap
  • Avoid bleach, high heat, and direct sunlight

Wool is naturally antimicrobial and doesn’t require frequent washing. To freshen, hang outside in moist air (out of direct sunlight); the wool will release moisture and self‑refresh.

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.

Extra information:


Moisture Absorbency

Sheepskin is known for its exceptional moisture absorbency. This means it can effectively wick away moisture from the skin, keeping the feet dry and comfortable. In a medical setting, where long hours of standing and walking are ordinary, moisture absorbency is crucial in preventing discomfort and potential foot problems.

Cushioning Protection

Sheepskin slippers provide excellent cushioning protection for the feet. The natural fibers of sheepskin create a soft and supportive surface that helps to distribute pressure evenly. This cushioning effect reduces the risk of shafting and scarring, which can be particularly important for individuals with sensitive or fragile skin.


Antimicrobial Properties

One of the critical benefits of sheepskin is its natural antimicrobial properties. These properties help to prevent skin breakdown and infections by inhibiting the growth of bacteria and fungi. In a medical environment where hygiene is paramount, the antimicrobial nature of sheepskin slippers can contribute to maintaining healthy feet and preventing complications.


Seamless Design

Sheepskin slippers are often crafted with a seamless design, meaning that there are no seams that can cause discomfort or irritation. This mainly benefits individuals with sensitive skin or conditions that make them more susceptible to irritation. The seamless construction ensures no seams are felt, providing a smooth and comfortable experience.


Promotes Circulation

The natural properties of wool, which is the primary material of sheepskin, promote circulation. Improved circulation is especially beneficial for individuals with vascular problems, including diabetics. Sheepskin slippers can help prevent aches, pains, and complications associated with poor circulation by enhancing blood flow to the feet.


Warmth and Pain Relief

Sheepskin slippers provide excellent insulation, keeping the feet warm even in colder environments. This warmth can benefit individuals with various ailments, such as arthritis, where cold temperatures exacerbate pain and discomfort. Sheepskin slippers can help alleviate aches and pains associated with these conditions by providing warmth.


Overall, sheepskin slippers offer a range of benefits that make them an ideal choice for medical professionals. From moisture absorbency and cushioning protection to antimicrobial properties and seamless design, sheepskin slippers provide comfort, support, and safety for the feet in the medical field.

    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.
