Sheep Wool Chair Overlays — Natural Medical/Therapeutic Cushioning & Pressure Relief

1" Wool Pile • Moisture Control • Temperature Regulation • Ideal for Recliners, Geri Chairs & Zero‑Gravity Chairs

Transform any chair into a soft, breathable, pressure‑relieving surface with our premium Sheep Wool Chair Overlays. Made from sheared Merino medical‑grade wool with a 1‑inch pile, these overlays provide exceptional comfort, temperature regulation, and moisture control, ideal for relaxation, recovery, and long periods of sitting.

Wool naturally absorbs 30–40% of its weight in moisture, keeping the skin dry and preventing irritation. As temperature‑regulating medical wool, it helps muscles stay relaxed and reduces stiffness. The plush wool pile redistributes pressure, offering relief for sensitive areas and supporting healthier skin,  essential for pressure ulcer prevention wool strategies.

Each overlay secures easily with Velcro straps, ensuring a smooth, stable fit on your chair. These overlays are part of our trusted line of wool pressure relief products used in long‑term care, home‑care, rehabilitation, and palliative environments.

What Is Sheep Wool Fabric?

Our medical wool fabric is made from:

• Real wool fibres (sheared from the sheep)

• A soft nylon grid

• A medical‑grade acrylic stabilizer

This creates a plush, breathable material that looks like sheepskin, but without the hide, making it durable, washable up to 70°C, and ideal for medical environments. It is the same construction used in our sheepskin medical overlay and sheep wool medical products.

All Soul Comfort Medical wool products are made with 1" medical‑grade wool pile and meet Infection Prevention and Control Canada (IPAC) guidelines.

Care 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 about 85% dry

• Spot clean with warm water and disinfecting soap

• Avoid bleach, high heat, and direct sunlight

Wool is naturally antimicrobial and doesn’t require frequent washing. To freshen, hang outside in moist air (out of direct sunlight); the wool will release moisture and self‑refresh.
