Sheep Wool Care Brush
Restore Loft • Rejuvenate Bounce • Extend the Life of Your Wool Products
Use this essential Sheep Wool Care Brush to rejuvenate the natural bounce and loft in all your wool‑pile and sheepskin products. Perfect for refreshing Sheep Wool Fabric and Sheepskin Rugs, Slippers, Comfort Pads, Mattress Overlays, and more, this brush helps restore softness, lift, and airflow to keep your wool items performing at their best.
Brushing helps separate and lift the wool fibres, improving comfort, breathability, and appearance, especially after washing or long‑term use.
Why Brushing Helps
-
Restores the natural loft and spring of wool fibres
-
Helps maintain airflow, softness, and comfort
-
Extends the life of your wool products
-
Ideal for refreshing flattened or compacted areas
A Bonus: Save the Wool You Brush Out
Brushing will naturally remove a small amount of loose wool, this is normal and safe for the product. Instead of discarding it, you can reuse the wool in creative and practical ways:
-
Felt into dryer balls
-
Craft felted animals or small projects
-
Place between toes to help prevent athlete’s foot (wool is naturally antimicrobial)
Nothing goes to waste, wool is renewable, reusable, and endlessly useful.
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.

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.
Once wool fibers are discarded, they naturally break down in soil within a few years, gradually returning beneficial nutrients to the ground.
Merino wool is highly breathable, with fibers that can absorb significant amounts of moisture vapor and release it into the air through evaporation.
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.
Australian sheep grow a new fleece annually, making wool a fully renewable natural fiber.
Frequently asked questions
1. Why choose sheep wool for everyday comfort?
Sheep wool is naturally soft, breathable, insulating, and moisture-managing, making it suitable for year-round comfort and everyday use.
2. Is wool suitable for both summer and winter?
Yes. Wool naturally regulates body temperature, helping keep you warm in winter and cool in summer. It is also breathable and moisture-wicking, so it helps prevent the hot, clammy feeling that can come from synthetic materials.
3. How do I care for Soul Comfort wool products?
Most Soul Comfort wool products can be machine washed on a delicate cycle in cool or lukewarm water using a wool-safe soap containing lanolin. Air drying is recommended, or you can tumble dry without heat and remove the item when it is about 85% dry. Avoid bleach, high heat, and direct sunlight. Because wool is naturally antimicrobial, it usually does not need frequent washing and can often be refreshed by airing it outside away from direct sunlight.
4. How do I choose the right medical wool product?
Choose according to the area of the body that needs support and the level of cushioning or pressure relief required. For example, Soul Comfort offers mattress overlays for full-body pressure redistribution, seating and wheelchair pads for prolonged sitting, and specialized protectors for areas such as the heels, feet, knees, hands, and other sensitive areas. For wool density, 850 g / 1-inch pile is designed for pressure relief, moisture control, and skin protection, while the denser 950 g option provides additional cushioning for fragile skin, chronic discomfort, previous skin breakdown, or advanced/palliative care. Custom sizing is also available for certain products.
5. Are Soul Comfort products only for medical use?
No. Soul Comfort offers both medical and everyday comfort products. Their range includes bedding, mattress overlays, personal comfort products, footwear, products for babies, seating accessories, and even wool products for pets. Their everyday wool products are designed for comfort, temperature regulation, moisture management, and general wellness—not only medical care.
