Why Choose Merino Sheep Wool Pad for your chair:

Many sleep in their chairs, bed sores are a concern for some?

When it comes to getting a good night's sleep, the choice of bedding material can make a significant difference. Wool, with its unique properties, offers a multitude of benefits that contribute to a comfortable and restful sleep experience.

One of the key advantages of sleeping in wool is its breathability. Wool fibers have a natural crimp that creates small air pockets, allowing for better air circulation and moisture wicking. This breathability helps regulate body temperature, keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

Wool also provides excellent pressure relief, making it an ideal choice for those who suffer from bed sores or pressure ulcers. The natural elasticity of wool fibers helps distribute body weight evenly, reducing pressure points and minimizing the risk of developing painful sores.

In addition to its pressure-relieving properties, wool is also known for its antimicrobial properties. Wool fibers contain lanolin, a natural substance that acts as a barrier against bacteria and dust mites. This makes wool bedding a hygienic choice, especially for individuals with allergies or respiratory conditions.

Furthermore, wool is an excellent insulator, helping to maintain a stable core body temperature throughout the night. This thermoregulatory feature ensures that you stay comfortable and undisturbed, regardless of external temperature fluctuations.

When it comes to sleep comfort and health, choosing wool bedding can have a significant impact. Its breathability, pressure relief, antimicrobial properties, and thermoregulation make it an exceptional choice for a restful and rejuvenating sleep experience.

What is the difference between sheepskin and sheep wool?

Sheepskin is the hide of the animal and includes the wool attached to the hide. In a sheepskin, the wool remains attached.

Sheep wool is the fibre sheared off the sheep and used to make various wool products. At Soul Comfort, we use a sheep wool fabric to manufacture most of our products.

What is sheep wool fabric?

The fabric used in our products is a combination of wool fibre (sheared off the sheep), a nylon grid and a medical grade acrylic liquid stabilizer. It is made using a process that takes the loose wool and ‘knits’ it into the nylon grid. Then, the acrylic is used to stabilize the wool in place and create a flat surface by which the fabric can be cut. This results in a material that has the look of a sheepskin, without the hide of the animal. As a result, the wool is machine washable.

General care:

Expect a small amount of shedding when the product is new as there will be some loose fibres. You can machine air fluff (no heat) for five minutes to remove excess fibres. Keep away from high heat and direct sunlight.

Over time and with more use, wool fibres will naturally bind together creating a more ‘clumped’ look. This change in the look does not affect the performance of the wool. You will still receive all of the natural and beautiful benefits. If you prefer a fluffier look, you can brush the product with a metal brush after laundering.

With care, your wool products will last many, many years.

Washing instructions:

Machine washable on delicate setting in cool/lukewarm water (up to 70°C) with a wool soap containing lanolin, such as Eucalan. Air drying is recommended. You may use a dryer WITHOUT HEAT to fluff your product. Remove from dryer before it dries completely (up to 85%). The excess moisture will not be felt and will disperse into the air quickly.

Wool is anti-microbial and will not need excessive laundering. To freshen your product, air it out by hanging outside when the air is moist, out of direct sunlight. When you bring it back inside, the wool will release the moisture into the air. This moisture redistribution results in a refreshening. If there is some staining or seepage from wounds, you can spot clean with warm water (up to 70°C) and a disinfecting soap. Do not bleach.
