Our 100% Australian natural lambskin provides a calming texture that soothes and comforts your baby.

Natural wool is cool in summer and warm in winter. Our premium Baby lambskin rugs can be used as a cot underlay, cribs, playpens, or in any other places to provide your little one with some additional comfort.

Lambskin rugs can help babies sleep in an unfamiliar environment, and they can become quite attached to their lambskin rug as a place for familiar comfort.

Hypoallergenic and safe for babies. We do not use harsh chemicals so our lambskins are a warm and natural ivory colour.

Why choose natural sheepskin?

Natural Australian sheepskin is soft and silky to touch. The wool fibres are soft yet dense, not only can it absorb up to 30% of its own weight in moisture, natural wool allows air to freely circulate between your baby and the lambskin rug, which in turn keeps your baby feeling dry, and reduces the chance of heat rashes.

Wool absorbs moisture and reduces the chances of heat rash. Our lambskin rugs are soft with a dense wool fibre which helps to relieve pressure, and provides support to babies.
