Merino sheepskin is incredibly soft and luxurious, providing a cozy and soothing surface that enhances relaxation and promotes restful sleep.
Temperature Regulation
Naturally insulating yet breathable, Merino sheepskin keeps pets and people warm in winter and cool in summer by maintaining an optimal temperature year-round.
Pressure Relief
The dense, springy fibers evenly distribute weight, reducing pressure points and alleviating discomfort for those with joint pain, mobility issues, or post-surgery recovery needs.
Moisture-Wicking Properties
Merino sheepskin wicks away moisture, keeping the surface dry and comfortable. This feature is particularly beneficial for pets prone to overheating or sweating.
Hypoallergenic and Hygienic

Durability and Longevity
High-quality Merino sheepskin is exceptionally durable, retaining its softness and support even with regular use, making it a cost-effective investment.
Soothing for the Skin
The lanolin in Merino wool is gentle on sensitive skin, offering soothing benefits for pets and humans alike, especially those with conditions like eczema or dry skin.
Eco-Friendly and Sustainable
As a natural, biodegradable material, Merino sheepskin is a sustainable choice, aligning with environmentally conscious lifestyles.
Shock Absorption
Merino sheepskin absorbs shock and reduces friction, making it ideal for preventing soreness and promoting recovery after strenuous activity or surgery.
Stylish and Versatile
With its natural beauty and timeless appeal, Merino sheepskin adds a touch of elegance to any home décor while providing unmatched functionality for people and pets.
Caring for your Merino sheepskin
Caring for a Merino sheepskin is essential to maintaining its luxurious feel, appearance, and longevity. Below is a guide to properly care for your sheepskin:
Always refer to the manufacturer’s care instructions. Some medical-grade or tanned sheepskins are machine washable, while others require dry cleaning.
General Maintenance
Regular Shaking: Shake the sheepskin out frequently to remove loose dirt, dust, and debris.
Brushing: Use a wire wool or pet brush to keep the fibers fluffy and untangled. Brush gently in the direction of the wool’s nap.
Spot Cleaning: Quickly clean any spills or stains to prevent them from setting.
Washing Instructions
Hand Washing: Use lukewarm water (maximum 30°C/86°F). Use a sheepskin detergent or a mild, wool-safe detergent. Avoid regular detergents as they can strip the natural lanolin oils. Gently submerge the sheepskin and agitate it softly. Avoid scrubbing or twisting.
Machine Washing (if allowed):
Set the washing machine to a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water. Use a sheepskin-safe detergent.
Avoid high-speed spinning cycles.
Drying
Air Drying: Lay the sheepskin flat on a towel or a clean surface, wool side up.
Stretch and reshape it gently while damp to maintain its natural shape and prevent shrinkage. Dry away from direct sunlight, heaters, or tumble dryers, as excessive heat can damage the leather backing.
Avoid Hanging: Hanging a wet sheepskin may cause the leather to stretch or tear.
Deep Cleaning
Professional Cleaning: For heavily soiled or delicate sheepskins, consider taking it to a professional cleaner experienced in handling natural sheepskins.
Dry Cleaning: Only use dry cleaners specializing in leather and wool products.
Stain Removal
For Liquid Spills: Blot (do not rub) the spill immediately with a clean, dry cloth to absorb as much moisture as possible.
For Solid Spills: Gently scrape off the solid material with a dull knife or spoon.
Mild Stains: Spot clean with a damp cloth and sheepskin detergent, working gently to avoid soaking the leather.
Storage Instructions
Avoid Folding: Store it flat or rolled to prevent creases in the leather backing.
Breathable Storage: Keep it in a cool, dry place in a breathable bag or cotton sheet. Avoid plastic bags, which can trap moisture and promote mildew.
Things to avoid
Harsh Detergents: Do not use bleach, fabric softeners, or strong chemicals.
High Heat: Avoid exposing the sheepskin to direct sunlight, tumble dryers, or heaters.
Excessive Water: Prolonged soaking can damage the leather.
Re-Fluffing the Wool
If the wool becomes flattened over time:
Shake it vigorously or brush it to restore its fluffiness.
Lightly dampen the wool and allow it to air dry naturally for added lift.
With proper care, a Merino sheepskin can remain soft, durable, and beautiful for years!
