Australian Medical Sheepskins for Comfort & Support

Our medical sheepskins are made from genuine Australian sheepskin selected for its dense, resilient wool. Shorn to a consistent 1.25" (30 mm), the soft wool provides natural cushioning and helps distribute pressure for people who spend extended periods sitting or lying down.

Breathable wool allows air to circulate and helps manage heat and moisture, making medical sheepskin a comfortable support layer for beds, wheelchairs, recliners and chairs. Choose from full sheepskin pads in several sizes, a high-temperature washable option, a seat pad, and targeted heel and elbow protectors.

Why Choose Medical Sheepskin?

Genuine sheepskin combines dense wool and a flexible leather backing in one natural material. The wool provides a soft, resilient surface that adapts to the body while maintaining airflow.

• Soft Cushioning: Dense wool provides a comfortable layer between the body and supporting surface.
• Pressure Distribution: Resilient wool helps spread pressure across the surface.
• Breathable Comfort: Natural wool allows air to circulate and helps manage heat and moisture.
• Dense 1.25" Wool: Medical sheepskin wool is evenly shorn to help reduce matting and remain practical for regular use.

Medical Sheepskin vs. Regular Sheepskin

Medical sheepskins are selected for their dense wool and prepared specifically for comfort-focused use. The wool is evenly shorn to 1.25" (30 mm), creating a consistent cushioning surface that helps distribute pressure, allows air to circulate and helps reduce matting. Unlike decorative sheepskin rugs, medical sheepskins are intended primarily for beds, wheelchairs, recliners and other seating or resting surfaces.
