How Does a Full Medical Sheepskin Relieve Pressure?

Manufactured from deep wool pile and sheepskin, this layer helps to redistribute pressure and alleviate force on your joints and bones when laying in bed or seated for extended periods of time. For especially frail individuals and the elderly, pressure sores and ulcers can be a common problem, as well as general aches and discomfort from excessive downward force. Using a medical fleece works to reduce impact on peak pressure points and provide additional comfort.

What Are Pressure Sores?

Pressure sores are injuries to the tissue underneath the skin. They are primarily caused by prolonged force on the skin and are frequently found in people who are confined to a single position for a long period of time. Consistent downward pressure can cause the tissue under the skin to die due to concentrated force on peak pressure points, causing pressure sores and ulcers to form. 

Versatile Pressure Relief Fleece

The Pressure Relief Sheepskin is ideal for the relief and prevention of pressure sores and ulcers. Versatile in design, the fleece can be used to cover the entire sleeping area or specific parts of the sleeping area where the body is most prone to pressure sores. This makes it suitable for use on your bed, chair, sofa, a wheelchair, and any other sitting or lying area.

How Can Medical Sheepskin Help With Raynaud's Disease?

The wool fleece encourages blood circulation and reduces the likeliness of waking in the night from discomfort, pins and needles, numbness. Additionally it has excellent heat retention and temperature regulating properties to keep you comfortable and to allow for a full night of deep, restful sleep.

How Can the sheepskin Help with Rheumatism and Arthritis?

The medical fleece is designed to support the body's joints and permit an ache-free night's sleep. By alleviating the need to toss and turn to get comfortable in bed, pressure is distributed away from sore joints and provides a supple and pressure absorbing surface to sleep on.

Deep Pile for Exemplary Cushioning

Medical Sheepskin has a thickness of approximately 3cm (1"), providing deep cushioning of crimped fibres to absorb and alleviate downward pressure. This allows for a plush and soft base to sleep on with  high-performing pressure relieving properties. 

Will the Pressure Relief Fleece Keep Me Cool?

The Medical Sheepskin works to keep you cool, preventing overheating by absorbing moisture and perspiration away from your body. However, if you need a topper specifically targeted towards symptoms of menopause, try the Layer of Air Cooling Mattress Topper. By creating a cooling layer between you and your mattress, the Topper specifically targets:

  • Aggressive hot flushes
  • Night sweats
  • Hyperthyroidism

What is the difference between medical sheepskin and regular sheepskin?

Medical sheepskin is specially selected to have a denser, thicker wool pile that distributes pressure more evenly, stops friction and shearing, absorbs moisture and maintains perfect body temperature. These factors are key in preventing pressure sores. Medical sheepskin is designed for washing in a machine and tumble dried to infection control standards. Regular sheepskin, on the other hand, may not have the same density or thickness, and cannot be processed to the same medical standards.
