8 Reasons to Buy Australian Medical Grade Sheepskin

Everyone dreams of sleeping on a cloud in a way that feels light, airy, soft, and comfortable. However, if sleeping on a cloud is not possible, Australian medical grade sheepskin is probably the next best alternative. 

Here are 8 reasons to purchase Australian medical sheepskin.

1. It prevents bedsores. 

These are unfortunately very common for people who spend many hours a day sitting or lying down. Eventually, pressure builds up in certain parts of the body causing pressure sores. Sitting or sleeping on medical sheepskin for your bed prevents these. It takes the pressure off certain parts of your body and helps to redistribute weight more evenly. 

2. It increases blood flow to the joints

People who suffer from conditions such as arthritis and osteoarthritis will especially benefit from a medical sheepskin overlay. When there is increased blood flow, there is decreased joint pain. 

3. It helps regulate temperature

Medical sheepskin is a unique fibre because it keeps you warm during the winter and cool during the summer. As a natural material, medical sheepskin for a bed allows air to circulate throughout the sheepskin fibres while you sleep. 

This helps regulate body temperature and will, therefore, decrease your body temperature if you get too warm or increase your body temperature if you feel cold. 

4. It helps you sleep better

People who sleep on a medical sheepskin overlay can sleep longer and more comfortably. This is connected to both the comfort of the fabric and the regulatory properties of it mentioned above. 

5. It keeps you dry

Another beneficial property of sheepskin is that it keeps you dry. When sitting or lying for long periods, there is often moisture that builds up which can be uncomfortable. A similar challenge occurs for people who sweat a lot. 

Australian medical sheepskin wicks moisture away from the body to reduce the wet feeling on your skin. During this time, you can continue your restful sleep as sheepskin can absorb up to one-third of its weight in water without feeling wet. 

6. It feels great

One of the most important reasons to buy a medical sheepskin overlay is that it feels great. Just try rubbing your hand along a piece of it and you can feel how soft it is. This is because the wool is specially treated to ensure it stays smooth. Finally, it does not cause skin irritations from rubbing or moving on it as other fabrics do. 

7. It is safe and recommended

Australian medical grade sheepskin is safe for people of all ages and is recommended by medical practitioners. The material is flame resistant creating an added element of safety and security. 

8. It is on sale 

During July, all Australian medical sheepskin products at Statewide Home Health Care are on sale. You can receive 10% off your sheepskin purchase until July 31, 2020, by visiting us in-store or online.
