Sheepskin Recliner & Armchair Throw — Classic Premium 1.5 Pelt

Turn any recliner, armchair, or reading chair into your coziest seat with this 1.5 pelt genuine New Zealand sheepskin throw. At 137cm (53.9in.) long, it's the perfect in-between size: long enough to drape fully over a recliner's back and arms, without the extra bulk of a full double pelt.

Every rug is finished with a gentle tanning process that keeps the wool naturally soft, breathable, and durable — the kind of quality you notice the first time you sit down. Choose from six colors (Sand, Ivory White, Chocolate, Grey, Honey, Black) to match your chair or room.

Perfect for Recliners & Armchairs

Drape it over the back and arms of a recliner and it stays put through everyday use, softening hard leather or worn fabric without hiding the shape of the chair underneath. It works just as well tossed over a reading armchair, a rocking chair, or folded across the end of a bed. Genuine wool has natural grip, which keeps it in place nicely.

Why Kiwi Sheepskins

Premium Grade Sheepskin: Only premium-grade pelts make the cut, chosen for density, softness, and even wool length.

Sustainably Sourced: Sourced as a natural by-product of New Zealand's wool and meat industries, not farmed for its own sake.

NZ Grown, Made & Owned: From paddock to finished rug, every step happens right here in New Zealand.

Care Instructions

Routine Care

Brush regularly with a sheepskin care brush (like the Bowron Care Brush) to keep the wool fluffy and prevent matting, especially in high-contact areas like where you rest your arms or head against a recliner.

Spot Cleaning

Treat spills and marks with cold water and a natural soap, or a dedicated product like Woolskin Sheepskin Shampoo. Work it gently into the wool, then let it air dry away from direct heat.

What to Avoid

Don't use hot water, bleach, or harsh detergents these break down the natural wool fibers. If machine washing, use a wool-safe cold cycle.

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.

Sheepskin Recliner Throw – 1.5 Pelt Rug | Kiwi Sheepskins FAQs

Will a sheepskin throw slide off a leather recliner?

Genuine wool has natural grip against most fabric and leather surfaces and generally stays put through normal use. On very smooth or reclined leather, tucking the top edge behind the headrest cushion or adding a thin non-slip rug pad underneath will keep it fully secure.

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 be used in a bedroom or living room?

Absolutely. Kiwi Sheepskins Premium Sheepskin Rug is commonly used beside beds, under coffee tables, or as a feature rug in living rooms where softness, warmth, and natural texture are desired.

Will this sheepskin rug fit over a recliner chair?

Yes. At 137cm (53.9 inches) long, the 1.5 pelt size is long enough to drape fully over the back and arms of most recliners and armchairs — longer than a single pelt, and less bulky than a full double.

What size sheepskin throw do I need for a recliner or armchair?

For most recliners and armchairs, the 1.5 pelt (137cm or 53.9in.) is the sweet spot. A single pelt often falls short of covering the full backrest, while a double pelt can be more fabric than a chair-sized throw needs.

Is this a genuine sheepskin, or synthetic/faux?

100% genuine, premium-grade New Zealand sheepskin — not a synthetic or faux fur alternative.

Can I wash a sheepskin recliner throw at home?

Yes. This rug is fully washable, either by hand or on a wool-safe cold machine cycle with Wool Wash. Avoid hot water, bleach, and harsh detergents, which can damage the natural wool fibers.

How do I stop my sheepskin throw from bunching up on the chair?

Brush it regularly to keep the wool lying flat, and reposition it fully over the chair back and arms after use rather than leaving it pushed to one side — this also helps it wear evenly.
