Medical Sheepskin for Bedsores, Genuine Shorn Lambskin Underlay 25 x 41 in

• MEDICAL SHEEPSKIN FOR BEDSORES & PRESSURE SORE RELIEF: Dense, shorn wool cushions hips, shoulders, heels, and tailbone and spreads body weight to relieve pressure points during bed rest, wheelchair use, or recovery. Helps prevent pressure sores as medical sheepskin has for generations. "Medical sheepskin" is the traditional name for this dense, shorn grade. It is a natural comfort aid, not a certified medical device, just a genuine, premium pelt selected for comfort and made for washability.
• SHORN TO 1 INCH: Medical sheepskin is shorn to 1 inch for care support. It is not the long, loose wool of a decorative sheepskin rug, and it will not feel like a thick, fluffy cushion. If you want that look, this is the wrong product. If you want breathable, supportive padding under a person who spends hours in one position, this is the one.
• SIZE: Approximately 25 x 41 IN, NATURAL PELT SHAPE: About 25 inches across at the widest point (the middle) and 41 inches long. On a bed it covers the shoulder-to-hip zone of one person. It is not a full-mattress pad. Works well on a wheelchair or a recliner. Need full-bed length? See our Double Medical Sheepskin, 25 x 82 in (sold separately).
• GENUINE SINGLE PELT, CHROME-FREE TANNED, ODOR FREE: A real pelt has a supple natural leather back, not a woven fabric backing, and the edges follow the animal's shape. The leather is tanned chrome-free and the pelt arrives odor free. Each pelt has been Sanitized treated to inhibit bacteria.
• BREATHABLE WOOL: Wool fibers wick moisture away from the skin and let air move, so the resting surface stays drier than foam or synthetic fleece. Wool is also a natural insulator, so it feels warm. That is a comfort in a cool room, but if your loved one runs hot, use it in an air-conditioned room or under a light cotton sheet. The pressure relief works either way. On a bed, tuck it under the fitted sheet to hold it in place; on a vinyl seat, lay it flat and smooth it out.
• EASY CARE: Shake it out and brush the wool between washes. Machine wash on gentle in lukewarm water and lay flat to dry. Outback Gold Wool Wash (sold separately) cleans and conditions the sheepskin with lanolin, which keeps wool soft. Desert Breeze Distributing is a woman-led, family-owned US small business. Every pelt is inspected and packaged in Idaho, and caregivers, nurses, and families have trusted this sheepskin since 2013.
