Why Babies Thrive on Sheepskin

Natural Comfort • Temperature Regulation • Nervous‑System Support • Moisture Control

1. Temperature Regulation

Newborns cannot regulate their temperature well. Sheepskin wool helps do it for them. Wool naturally keeps your baby warm in cool weather and cool in warm weather, maintaining a stable, comfortable environment.

2. Breathability

Air flows freely through wool fibres, preventing overheating and reducing moisture buildup.

3. Moisture Management

Wool absorbs 30–40% of its weight in moisture and releases it into the air, keeping your baby dry and comfortable.

4. Comforting Scent Retention

Sheepskin absorbs familiar scents, especially a parent’s scent,  helping babies settle more easily when away from home.

5. Supports Digestion

The gentle warmth of wool can help release tummy bubbles and soothe digestion.

6. Soft, Gentle Surface

The plush wool fibres cushion delicate skin and reduce irritation.

7. Nervous‑System Support Outside the Womb

Once babies leave the womb, their nervous system is still learning how to regulate comfort, temperature, and sensory input. Sheepskin provides:

• Consistent warmth, similar to the womb

• Soft tactile stimulation, which helps calm the startle reflex

• A stable sensory environment, reducing overstimulation

• A familiar scent anchor, helping babies feel secure

This combination helps soothe the nervous system and supports more settled sleep, easier transitions, and a calmer overall state.

Care Instructions

• Machine wash with Eucalan (lanolin‑based wool soap)

• Hang to dry,  may take up to two days

• Do not dry in direct sunlight

• Wool is naturally antimicrobial and does not require frequent washing

Colour

Why Choose an Infant Care Sheepskin?

Sleeping on wool is a time‑honored tradition cherished by generations of parents. Wool offers:

• Natural temperature regulation

• Breathability

• Moisture control

• Gentle cushioning

• Nervous‑system soothing

• A comforting, womb‑like environment

Nothing compares to the natural comfort and safety of wool for your newborn’s sleep and well‑being.

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.

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.
