The Benefits of Sheepskin
SLEEP
The fine, natural wool fibres in sheepskin are cosy and soft, and help to regulate
body temperature and absorb moisture, which all helps baby to sleep longer.

Sheepskins in Cot's
When using a sheepskin in a Cot for sleep we recommend following advice from Plunket:
"If you want to use a sheepskin, use a short-hair type, and cover it with a sheet."

For our baby sheepskins we also use a Sanitize treatment which prevents the ability for Dust Mite’s to live in the sheepskin and this process remains in the sheepskin even after washing therefore helping prevent babies from developing Asthma.

CARE
When washing sheepskin there are a few main factors to be aware of. Incorrect washing can cause the sheepskin to de-tan and if this happens they will have to be thrown out. To avoid this please follow these strict instructions.
- Only use a small amount of an approved Neutral or Mild Sheepskin Wash. If unavailable, then just use water.
- Do not use any Bleach, Detergents or Enzyme Washing Products!
- Only use cold water.
- Avoid Direct Heat when drying, dry outside in the shade or inside away from heaters, radiators or fires. Using a clothes rack to lay the sheepskin flat is a good way to dry a skin.
- Do not let the sheepskin dry out too fast, it is best to leave a small amount of moisture in the skin.
- After the sheepskin is dry, brush with a pet brush to restore pile and finish with a solid shake.
- Avoid getting moisture on footwear as this can stain. If footwear does need cleaning it is best spot cleaned, using a small amount of liquid and a cloth. Follow the rules above and treat like you would cleaning carpet.
REVIEWS
“Baby and mum both love our sheepskin, its perfect for everything from tummy time, to playing on our back, to massage time.”
“It is exactly how I'd remembered the NZ sheepskins both my children had had as babies and loved the using until they wore out! My son was a winter baby and my daughter a summer baby and the sheepskins were perfect for both. The one recently purchased is for my daughter's baby, due in November. The sheepskin is of the highest quality, beautifully soft and I know will be much used and loved. Thank you for such quality.”
