Description

• Wool
• MEDICAL SHEEPSKIN FOR BEDSORES & PRESSURE SORE RELIEF: Dense, shorn Merino wool cushions pressure points and distributes body weight evenly — a natural surface that helps prevent bed sores, ease pressure sore discomfort, and soothe sensitive skin during extended bed rest, wheelchair use, or post-surgical recovery.
• OEKO-TEX CERTIFIED — SAFE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN: Tested to STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX, a globally recognized benchmark confirming the wool and tanning are free from harmful substances. Naturally moisture-wicking, and breathable — gentle enough for fragile skin, elderly care, and infant comfort.
• FITS BED, WHEELCHAIR, RECLINER, OR FOLDS AS A CUSHION: Large 25″ x 41″ natural-shape pelt drapes over a mattress, wheelchair seat, recliner, or reading chair — or folds smaller to serve as a pressure-relief seat cushion. Thick, dense pile for support.
• MACHINE WASHABLE — STAYS SOFT & FRESH: Wash on gentle cycle and lay flat to dry. For best results, use Outback Gold Wool Wash (sold separately), formulated specifically for sheepskin to clean without stripping the natural lanolin that keeps wool soft, supple, and long-lasting.
• SOURCED FROM AUSTRALIAN MERINO SHEEP: Our pelts come from Australia, where Merino sheep are raised in conditions that produce exceptionally dense, fine-fibered wool. Australian Merino is prized in medical and therapeutic sheepskin for its softness, resilience, and ability to hold its cushioning loft over years of use — a meaningful difference from lower-grade wool used in decorative sheepskin rugs.
• TRUSTED BY CAREGIVERS, NURSES & FAMILIES SINCE 2013: Whether you’re caring for an aging parent, supporting a loved one through post-surgical recovery, or looking for a therapeutic cushion for long hours in a wheelchair or recliner, the medical sheepskin from Desert Breeze Distributing has been trusted by families, home health aides, and hospice caregivers for over a decade. Each pelt is inspected and packaged at our small family-run facility in rural southern Idaho.
• GENUINE SINGLE-PELT LAMBSKIN WITH NATURAL LEATHER BACK: A real single pelt with a supple leather backing — not a rug or fabric-backed imitation. The thick, shorn Merino pile resists matting and holds its cushioning loft through years of use and repeated washings.

Genuine Medical Sheepskin for Comfort and Pressure Relief

This genuine single-pelt lambskin features dense, shorn Merino wool that cushions pressure points and distributes body weight evenly across the surface. The natural fibers wick moisture away from skin and allow it to breathe throughout the day and night, helping maintain a comfortable temperature in any season. The supple leather backing provides stability and drapes smoothly over mattresses, wheelchair seats, recliners, and chairs without bunching or shifting. Measuring approximately 25 by 41 inches in a natural pelt shape, the sheepskin is versatile enough to cover a seat, pad a bed, or fold into a cushion for targeted support. The thick pile resists matting and maintains its cushioning loft through repeated use and washing. Each pelt is certified to LEATHER STANDARD by OEKO-TEX, an independent testing program that verifies the wool and tanning process meet strict safety standards for harmful substances. The sheepskin is machine washable on a gentle cycle and can be laid flat to dry. For optimal care, a wool wash formulated specifically for sheepskin helps preserve the natural lanolin that keeps fibers soft and supple over time. We recommend using Outback Gold for best results. The Merino wool comes from Australian sheep raised in conditions that produce exceptionally fine, dense fibers known for softness and resilience. Each pelt is inspected and packaged at a family-run facility in rural southern Idaho, where attention to quality has been a priority since 2013.
