Fitted Medical Sheepskin Overlay

The Fitted Medical Sheepskin Overlay comes in a range of sizes to fit single up to a Queen size bed. They can be used in a chair or on a bed to provide supreme comfort.

The medical sheep's wool has a fibre density higher than even the very best natural wool – which give it superior pressure redistribution properties. This is achieved by weaving natural wool to a fabric back, and is not to be confused with artificial sheepskins created from synthetic 'wool'. 

FEATURES:

• Medical Grade Sheepskin Overlays
• High density wool for added comfort
• Healthy microclimate for the skin
• Can aid quality sleep
• Machine washable up to 80 degress Celsius – for a hygienic wash
• 50 washes guaranteed
• Because the PC120 overlay has no leather backing, it can be washed with normal household detergent
• Proven effectiveness in prevention of pressure ulcers

Benefits

Natural Skin Microclimate Control

Your Shear Comfort™ overlay provides the ideal microclimate for a good sleep, looking after temperature and perspiration regulation, with the excellent air redistribution properties of a wool product.

Silent Pressure Care

In a residential or medical care facility, Shear Comfort™ Overlays are a lower cost pressure care solution, and remove the discomfort and noise experienced with plastic based options, such as plastic air filled overlays or alternating pressure mattresses.

Washing Instructions

Shear Comfort is as easy to care for as your regular clothes

Specific Washing instructions

As our Shear Comfort Original items are backed with natural sheepskin, they require a slightly different washing technique from the PC120, which is backed with fabric.

Please follow the washing instructions for your chosen item.

Shear Comfort Natural Sheepskin:

It is recommended that Shear Comfort natural sheepskin items are washed with the Shear Comfort Wool Care Shampoo with conditioner, which contains antibacterial tea tree oil and is effective against dust mites. If an alternative is used, it must be a non-ionic liquid detergent which has no enzymes, phosphates, peroxides, alkali or bleach.

Domestic washing instructions:

On a gentle cycle, wash your Shear Comfort product with approximately 20ml of Shear Comfort shampoo or approved detergent. Water must not exceed 80°C.

Industrial Washing instructions:

Wash on a gentle cycle wash for approximately 10 minutes in hot water up to 60°C using Shear Comfort shampoo or approved detergent. Rinse for approximately 3 minutes in warm water at approximately 35°C Wash on gentle cycle without detergent for approximately 8 minutes in water up to 80°C for thermal disinfection. Rinse for approximately 3 minutes in cool water. 

Shear Comfort PC1200:

Shear Comfort PC120 does not require special shampoo, and can be washed with normal household detergent up to a temperature of 80°C, although you can use Shear Comfort Wool Care Shampoo to condition the wool and utilise the fungicidal and matricidal properties of the shampoo. 

PC120 products can be laundered in the same way as Shear Comfort Natural sheepskins.
