Deluxe Merino Sheep’s Wool Massage Table Cover & Headrest Face Pillow Cover — Therapeutic Comfort & Energetic Support

Organic Merino Wool • Natural Insulation • Moisture‑Balancing Comfort

Transform your treatment space into a warm, nurturing, healing environment with our Deluxe Merino Sheep’s Wool Massage Table Cover and Headrest Face Pillow Cover. Crafted from premium organic Merino wool, this set enhances every session by providing natural warmth, breathable cushioning, and the energetic softness that helps clients relax more deeply.

Sheep’s wool is one of nature’s most intelligent fibres,  a natural insulator, moisture balancer, and therapeutic support material used in therapeutic wool products and sheep wool medical products worldwide. It helps maintain core temperature, encourages circulation, and creates a deeply grounding experience that clients feel immediately.


Why Massage Therapists Love Wool

Natural Insulator — Maintains Core Body Temperature

Wool keeps clients at their natural 37°C, preventing chills and helping the body stay relaxed throughout the session.

Promotes Circulation & Healing

Wool encourages increased blood flow and reduces inflammation, helping your massage work penetrate more deeply into the tissues.

Amplifies the Results of Your Massage

When clients turn from prone to supine, the gentle warmth of wool helps the treatment “settle in,” extending therapeutic effects.

Energetic Benefits

Wool vibrates at one of the highest natural frequencies on Earth. Clients consistently describe sessions on wool as more grounding, calming, and restorative.

Soft, Cushioned, and Nurturing

The plush wool pile provides gentle padding that reduces pressure points and enhances comfort for clients of all ages and body types.


Headrest Face Pillow Cover — One Size Fits All

Fits headrests 10–12 inches wide. Measure left to right and top to bottom for best fit.


Therapeutic Properties of Sheep’s Wool

  • Promotes healing, relaxation & restoration

  • Naturally nurturing, clients feel held and supported

  • Negative‑ion fibre helps release stress

  • Regulates body temperature at 37°C (temperature‑regulating medical wool)

  • Provides cushioning for pressure‑sensitive areas

  • Reduces pain, swelling & discomfort

  • Draws moisture away from the body (moisture‑wicking medical wool)

  • Breathable, antimicrobial & hypoallergenic


Machine Washable & Easy to Care For

  • Machine washable

  • Machine dry up to 85% (no higher,  wool loves moisture)

  • Do not over‑dry; this can tighten or “knobble” the wool

  • If over‑dried, simply brush with a metal brush to restore the soft, cloud‑like texture


What Is the Difference Between Sheepskin and Sheep Wool?

  • Sheepskin includes the hide with the wool still attached

  • Sheep wool is the fibre shorn from the sheep and used to create breathable, washable wool fabric

Our massage table covers are made from sheep wool fabric, not hide,  making them soft, flexible, and fully machine washable.


What Is Sheep Wool Fabric?

Our wool fabric is made from:

  • Real wool fibres (sheared from the sheep)

  • A soft nylon grid

  • A medical‑grade acrylic stabilizer

The wool is “knitted” into the grid and stabilized to create a flat, plush surface that looks like sheepskin, but without the hide, making it washable, durable, and ideal for therapeutic use.


General Care

  • Expect light shedding at first, normal

  • Air‑fluff for 5 minutes (no heat) to remove loose fibres

  • Keep away from high heat and direct sunlight

  • Wool may “clump” over time,  this does not affect performance

  • Brush after laundering if you prefer a fluffier look


Washing Instructions

  • Machine wash on delicate in cool/lukewarm water (up to 70°C)

  • Use wool soap with lanolin (e.g., Eucalan)

  • Air dry or tumble with NO heat

  • Remove from dryer at 85% dry

  • Spot clean with warm water with Eucalan or  disinfecting soap

  • Do not bleach

Wool is naturally antimicrobial and does not require frequent washing. To freshen, hang outside in moist air (out of sunlight); wool will absorb moisture and release it indoors, naturally refreshing itself.

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.

NEED TO KNOW

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.
