A Natural Layer That Changes How Your Bed Feels

Every product in this collection is made from premium medical-grade sheepskin, naturally designed to help relieve pressure, regulate body temperature, and create a more comfortable sleeping environment. The main difference is how much of the body you want to support and how you plan to use it.

Bowron FleeceEase Medical Sheepskin XL Pelt

Best for targeted pressure relief

The XL Pelt is a single, extra-large medical sheepskin that can be placed exactly where additional comfort is needed. It's ideal beneath the hips, shoulders, back, or legs and is also commonly used on chairs, recliners and wheelchairs. If you're looking for targeted pressure relief rather than full-bed coverage, this is an excellent choice.

Natural Shape Medical Sheepskin Underlays

Best for full-body comfort

Our Natural Shape Underlays are made by joining multiple medical sheepskins together to create a full-length sleeping surface. They provide pressure relief across your entire body while maintaining the natural shape and luxurious feel of genuine sheepskin. Available in Single, King Single, Double, Queen and King sizes.

Sheepskin Bed Wool Underlay – Mattress Topper

Best for a secure fitted underlay

Designed to stay securely in place with elastic corner straps, the Sheepskin Bed Wool Underlay - Mattress Topper offers the comfort and pressure-relieving benefits of medical sheepskin in a fitted mattress topper. It's ideal for everyday use and for anyone wanting a full-bed underlay that won't move during the night.

Which One Should You Choose?

  • Choose the XL Pelt if you want targeted support for one area of the body or a versatile sheepskin that can also be used on chairs or recliners.
  • Choose the Natural Shape Underlay if you want the luxurious look and feel of natural medical sheepskins across your entire bed.
  • Choose the Sheepskin Bed Pad & Wool Underlay if you prefer a fitted mattress topper that stays securely in place every night.

Caring for Your Sheepskin Mattress Topper

Sheepskin is lower maintenance than most people expect. For regular upkeep, air the topper outside in the shade every few weeks. If a section becomes compressed, a light shake and an hour in fresh air usually restores most of the loft.

For spot cleaning, use a wool-safe detergent and cold water. Avoid soaking the pelt or putting it through a hot wash cycle, as heat damages the wool fibre and can shrink or harden the backing. Most Kiwi Sheepskins toppers can be hand-washed or gently machine-washed on a wool or delicate cycle in cold water. Check the care label on your specific product before washing.

With regular airing and correct washing, a quality sheepskin topper typically holds its structure and comfort properties for several years of nightly use.

A Natural Layer That Changes How Your Bed Feels

Sleep feels different when your body is properly supported. Our sheepskin mattress toppers and underlays add a natural layer of comfort that works quietly through the night, easing pressure, softening firm surfaces and helping your body relax more easily. What sets genuine wool apart is its ability to adapt. Rather than trapping heat or flattening over time, it regulates temperature naturally, keeping you warm on cooler nights and comfortable when conditions change.

For deeper cushioning, the Wool Mattress Topper offers generous coverage and resilient support, making it a popular choice for those with back discomfort, joint sensitivity or reduced mobility. The Medical Sheepskin Bed Pelt provides targeted comfort in a versatile free form shape, while the Genuine Sheepskin Underlay & Bed Pad delivers a lighter layer that protects your mattress and enhances temperature balance. Each option offers the same core benefits of real sheepskin, allowing you to choose the level of comfort that suits your body and sleep habits.
