SHEEPSKIN RESISTS BACTERIA
There's nothing like a sheepskin rug to make you feel at home.
But did you know that sheepskin rugs are naturally resistant to bed bugs, dust mites and mold growth? They absorb any moisture from your body and keep bacteria from growing, which means that your skin stays dry and comfortable.
They're also breathable—which means they draw any excess moisture away from your skin, so bacteria are less likely to grow.
And let's face it: most of us spend at least some time on our rugs every day—and those bacteria can be pretty gross. But not if you've got sheepskin! You can wash most sheepskin rugs in the washing machine or by hand, but if you want them to stay clean and fresh-smelling for a long time, we recommend spot cleaning with a mild detergent.
SHEEPSKIN REGULATES TEMPERATURE
Wool rugs are wonderful for regulating temperature. They can help you sleep better in the winter, and get more comfortable during summer heat waves. Wool rugs are made from sheepskin, which has natural temperature-regulating properties. So, a sheepskin rug aids in increasing heat when it’s cold and increasing cold when it’s hot. This can promote good blood circulation in adults. It’s also a wonderful help in terms of regulating the temperature of new-born babies.
The way wool rugs work is simple: they trap air between the fibers and trap moisture inside of them—a natural way for any material to regulate its own temperature!
SHEEPSKIN IS SAFE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN
Lanolin is a wax that comes from the wool of sheep. This natural wax produces a thin layer of wool, which protects it from damage and helps it stay soft and fluffy. This prevents friction for those with sensitive skin, even for your little ones who are always crawling or walking around. They're also gentle on your feet and can be used anywhere in your home. Whether you want a rug for your bedroom or one for your family room, sheepskin rugs are an easy choice.
SHEEPSKIN MAKES THE BEST CUSHION
If you work a desk job, you know how it feels to be stuck in a chair all day long. It's not just the physical strain of sitting that can cause muscle pain—it's also the pressure your body experiences when it's lying on the floor or a sofa.
That's why we recommend using sheepskin rugs to cushion your body, especially your feet when you're on the go. They're made of naturally-crimped fibers that absorb pressure and cushions your body as you lie down on them. This means you'll be able to relax more easily, reducing any pain or discomfort from sitting for extended periods of time.
