Our medical sheepskin overlays, made from Shear Comfort XD1900, come in a range of sizes to fit a baby’s cot up to a Queen size bed. They can be used in a chair or on a bed to provide supreme comfort. The sheep’s wool is very comfortable, soft, and thick which feels great on the skin.

Medical Grade Sheepskin Overlays
Our XD1900 material conforms to the Australian Standard AS4480.1 for medical sheepskins.

High density wool for added comfort
The Shear Comfort Overlays made from XD1900 use high density wool woven at 1900g per sqm for pressure redistribution and added comfort.

-
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.

The fabric-backed material on which the wool is woven makes it easy to wash up to 80 degrees Celsius – for a hygienic wash.
