- Proven effectiveness in prevention of pressure ulcers
The Cochrane report confirms that medical sheepskin can prevent the development of pressure ulcers – see report Can pressure ulcers be prevented by using different support surfaces? | Cochrane - Comfort feel from soft and thick wool
The sheep’s wool is soft and thick and comes on a natural sheepskin backing. - Can be used anywhere and on any surface
Since these overlays retain their natural shape, they can be used either in bed or on chairs, armchairs, or wheelchairs for a snug fit. - Healthy microclimate for the skin
Wool takes up to 30% of its weight in water vapour without feeling moist. The air trapped between the wool fibres allows heat and moisture to dissipate. - Can aid quality sleep
Wool, being a natural material, gives a quieter more comfortable night’s sleep than when lying on a plastic-based product. In addition, a study in 1984 reported that a wool underlay decreased restlessness and improved sleep quality. - High density wool for added comfort
The Shear Comfort Natural Overlay is a medical sheepskin which has high density wool providing pressure redistribution and added comfort. - Machine washable up to 80 degrees Celsius
The Shear Comfort sheepskin has been treated to make it easy to wash at up to 80 degrees Celsius – for a hygienic wash. - 50 washes guaranteed
Shear Comfort Natural Overlays have a warranty of up to 50 washes when following the manufacturer’s washing instructions using a wool wash.
