The Comfort of Medical Sheepskin Rugs: Home Care Made Easier
Caring for yourself or a loved one at home comes with unique challenges—especially when it comes to comfort, mobility, and skin protection. For Australians living with limited mobility, recovering from surgery, or supporting elderly family members, a medical sheepskin rug can make all the difference.
Once used mainly in hospitals and aged care facilities, CSIRO-approved and TGA-registered medical sheepskin is now widely available for home use. This means you can bring the same trusted, medical-grade comfort and protection into your bedroom, chair, or living space.
Why Choose a Medical Sheepskin Rug?
Not all sheepskin is the same. A certified medical sheepskin is specially tanned and tested to meet Australian medical standards (AS4480.1-1998). Choosing a genuine Australian medical sheepskin ensures:
-
High-density wool fibres – up to 6,000 springy fibres per cm² for even cushioning and reduced pressure points.
-
Machine washable at 80°C – hot-washable for hygiene and infection control.
-
Breathable & moisture-wicking – regulates body temperature and draws moisture away from the skin.
-
CSIRO & TGA certified – peace of mind that you’re using a genuine medical-grade product.
These qualities make medical sheepskin one of the simplest and most effective natural aids for pressure sore prevention, circulation support, and all-day comfort.
Everyday Benefits for Home Care
Whether you’re caring for an elderly parent, recovering from surgery, or spending long hours in a bed or chair, medical sheepskin rugs and underlays provide:
✔ Pressure relief – reduces the risk of painful bedsores and ulcers.
✔ Improved sleep & rest – cushions the body, reducing the need for constant repositioning.
✔ Year-round comfort – warm in winter, cool in summer.
✔ Support for carers – peace of mind knowing your loved one has hospital-grade protection at home.
It’s a natural, Australian-made solution that blends practicality, comfort, and proven medical benefits.
What Our Customers Say

"Incredible product. Purchased it for my 94 year old mum who has pressure sores on her hip and ankles. Now she is able to sleep in comfort and without pain. I am so grateful I came across your website because it has made my mum’s life so much better." – Dan M.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"I bought this Sheepskin rug for my elderly father. He feels the cold very badly and doesn’t sleep well as he’s plagued with back problems and lots of aches and pains. He was so excited to receive this and is happy to report that he’s sleeping better than he has in years. So based on his smile I’m happy to recommend this product." – Sue K.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Helpful soft sheepskin underlay. My partner can’t move at night so he sleeps on a sheepskin for comfort, to improve circulation and to reduce pain. We have two so we can wash them and let them dry naturally. They stay soft and become very fluffy again. We highly recommend these products and are grateful for the quick service we get from this company whenever we order a medical product." – Margaret M.
