Product Information

Our Classic 5-Star XL Single Sheepskin Rugs are carefully selected for their generous size, beautifully soft fleece and premium-grade wool. Naturally warm and luxurious underfoot, they’re perfect beside the bed, in front of a favourite armchair, draped over furniture or simply adding natural texture and warmth to your home.

Our sheepskins are sourced and tanned in New Zealand at one of the few remaining woolskin tanneries in Australasia. Carefully selected premium pelts undergo a gentle tanning process without harsh chemicals, helping preserve the natural softness, lustre and character of the wool.

Choose from Ivory White, Honey, Grey, Chocolate and Black. Our Ivory White is the natural creamy shade of genuine sheepskin rather than a bright artificial white, giving it a beautifully warm and authentic appearance.

As sheepskin is a genuine natural product, no two rugs are exactly alike. Small variations in shape, wool length, texture and colour are part of their natural character and make every rug unique.

Our Classic 5-Star XL rugs are held in stock and ready to order, bringing the warmth, comfort and natural luxury of genuine New Zealand sheepskin to homes across the UK.

Sheepskin Rug Care

Keep your sheepskin soft and fresh with simple regular care.

Routine maintenance

Shake out your rug every couple of weeks and give it a gentle brush once or twice a month using a slicker or Bowron Care Brush. This keeps the fibres fluffy and removes dust in just a minute or two.

Spot cleaning

For small marks, use cold water and a natural soap or Woolskin Sheepskin Shampoo. Dampen a soft scrub brush, apply a little soap, and gently work the area until clean. Rinse thoroughly with cold water and blot dry. Hang in the shade and allow it to air dry - never use direct heat or sunlight.

Deep cleaning

Hand wash only when needed using cold water and Woolskin Sheepskin Shampoo. Avoid machine washing, bleach, or hot water as these can damage the leather backing.

Freshen up

To absorb odours or moisture, sprinkle baking soda onto the wool, leave for about an hour, then brush or vacuum it out.

With regular brushing and gentle care, your sheepskin rug will stay beautifully soft for years. Learn more on how to care for your wool rug with our care guide.

New Zealand Classic 5-Star XL Single Sheepskin Rug FAQs

Is it comfortable to sit on a sheepskin rug for long periods?

Yes. Sitting on Kiwi Sheepskins Premium Sheepskin Rug can be comfortable for extended periods because wool naturally regulates temperature and reduces pressure, making it suitable for reading chairs or home office seating.

Can this rug help keep rooms warmer?

Yes. Wool is a natural insulator, and Kiwi Sheepskins Premium Sheepskin Rug helps retain warmth, making rooms feel cosier especially during colder months.

Can I wash my sheepskin rug in a washing machine?

Most natural wool sheepskin rugs including premium grade ones should not be put in a regular washing machine because agitation and heat can damage the leather backing and matt the wool fibres. Hand washing in cool water with a wool-safe shampoo is generally recommended for deep cleaning. If machine washing is considered at all, only do so on a delicate wool cycle inside a protective laundry bag and check any care instructions first.
