Baby Lambskins for Natural Comfort & Everyday Use

Baby lambskins are made from genuine sheepskin and have been used for generations as a natural comfort layer for babies and young children. Soft, breathable, and temperature regulating, lambskins provide a gentle surface that adapts to a baby’s environment throughout the year.

At the core of our collection are Baby Lambskins. These trusted staples are used in strollers, cribs, bassinets, and play spaces. All other baby sheepskin products are designed to complement these essential and iconic lambskins.

Short Wool vs Long Wool Baby Lambskins

Choosing between short wool and long wool lambskins depends on how and where the lambskin will be used.

• Short Wool Baby Lambskins – Feature a clipped, dense wool surface that helps reduce matting and is easy to maintain. Commonly chosen for cribs, bassinets, and indoor use.
• Long Wool Baby Lambskins – Made from extra fine virgin (first growth) wool, these are more decorative and often preferred for floor play, strollers, and added cushioning.

Both options have all of the same natural properties of sheepskin, including breathability, softness, and support.

Why Parents Choose Baby Lambskins

Natural sheepskin offers unique benefits that synthetic materials cannot replicate:

• Temperature regulating – helps keep babies comfortable in warm and cool conditions
• Breathable wool fibers that allow air to circulate
• Soft and cushioning for everyday comfort
• Durable and long-lasting with proper care
• Naturally lanolin-rich, helping resist moisture and dirt

Because lambskins naturally adapt to the environment, they are suitable for year-round, helping to keep a baby insulated and warm in the winter while remaining comfortable and cool in the summer.

OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 Certified Baby Lambskins

All of our baby lambskin products meet the requirements of OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, an internationally recognized testing and certification system for textiles.

This certification means that every component of the lambskin — including the wool, leather, and finishing processes — has been tested for harmful substances according to strict safety criteria.

OEKO-TEX® certification is widely used for baby and children’s products and provides reassurance that the materials meet established standards for human and infant use.

Common Uses for Baby Lambskins

• Strollers and prams
• Cribs and bassinets (used as a comfort layer)

Baby lambskins are valued for their versatility and ability to grow with a child from infancy through early toddler years.

Frequently Asked Questions About Baby Lambskins

What is a baby lambskin?
A baby lambskin is a genuine sheepskin pelt, with the wool still attached to the leather backing. It is commonly used as a natural comfort layer for babies and young children and beloved for its softness, breathability, and temperature regulating properties.

What is the difference between short wool and long wool baby lambskins?
Short wool lambskins have a clipped, dense wool surface that lies flatter and is easy to maintain, making them popular for cribs and bassinets. Long wool lambskins feature a plusher, loftier wool and are often chosen for strollers, floor play, and added cushioning.

Are your baby lambskins safe for babies?
All of our baby lambskins meet the requirements of OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, meaning they have been tested for harmful substances according to strict international criteria. Parents often choose lambskins for their natural materials and breathability.

Can baby lambskins be used year-round?
Yes. Sheepskin and Wool naturally regulates temperature, keeping babies comfortable in both warm and cool conditions. This makes baby lambskins suitable for use throughout the year rather than being limited to one season.

How are baby lambskins typically used?
Baby lambskins are most commonly used in cribs, strollers, bassinets, on the floor for playtime, or as a soft comfort layer in baby seats and loungers.

How do I clean and care for a baby lambskin?
Most baby lambskins can be spot cleaned or gently washed using wool-safe detergents. Allow the lambskin to air dry naturally and brush the wool once dry to help maintain softness and loft. Check our care instructions for further details.

Do baby lambskins shed or lose wool?
High-quality lambskins are carefully tanned to minimize shedding. Some initial loose fibers may be present, which is normal and typically reduces with use.

Are baby lambskins the same as regular sheepskin rugs?
Baby lambskins have extra soft virgin wool, and are selected and finished specifically for comfort. While they share the same natural properties as decorative sheepskin rugs, they are typically softer and they are slightly smaller, at approximately 36 inches in total length.
