Therapeutic Sheepskin — Care for Older Adults and Patients

When someone spends long hours in the same position — in bed, in a wheelchair or recovering from an injury — the problem is not just discomfort: it is the constant pressure on the same points of the body. Natural sheepskin has been used for decades for exactly that.

Why natural wool and not just any fabric

• Helps distribute pressure: the wool fibers give and conform to the body instead of concentrating weight on a single point.
• It really breathes. Wool absorbs moisture and releases it into the air, so skin stays dry — something synthetic fabrics cannot manage.
• Regulates temperature without stifling: neither the trapped heat of plastic nor the chill of a bare sheet.
• Reduces friction when moving or repositioning, one of the causes of skin irritation.
• Antistatic and naturally odor resistant, ideal for extended use.

Who it is for

• People who are bedridden or confined to bed for long stretches
• Users of a wheelchair, as a seat or a backrest
• Older adults who spend the day in the same armchair
• Patients in recovery from surgery, a fracture or an injury
• Home care, nursing homes and rehabilitation centers

How to use it

Lay it directly on the mattress, on the chair seat or under the area taking the most pressure — lower back, hips, heels or legs. It is light, it settles on its own, and it moves from one piece of furniture to another without trouble.

Note: the sheepskin is a comfort and rest aid. It does not replace assessment or treatment by a health professional.

Care

Shake the sheepskin outdoors so the wool regains its loft. Hand wash in cold water with a mild soap, without wringing or twisting, and let it dry in the shade. Never put it in the dryer or iron it: heat damages the hide.
