The use of sheepskin has come from the biblical times, when mothers used to wrap the babies in wool as it's very comforting. It is convenient, warm and resists dirt. The benefits have just started rolling in and there is much to it that most people who have been using it have registered.

Special and versatile, sheepskin has low heat exchange rate that makes it best suited for the outside temperature. The reason lies in the designing of the fur that is joined in a way that it does not get effected by the surroundings and retains its temperature.

Countless benefits make sheepskin one of the essentials in every home and some of these highlights gathered here makes it useful throughout the year.

Sheepskin is very soft, warm and comfortable and does not in any way irritates any type of skin. The lanolin found in sheepskin is similar to that in humans and aids inflamed skin or rashes.

The material is anti-bacterial and keeps itself clean by rejecting dirt particles. It also is extremely absorbent and helps removing sweat and oils that the human body excretes.

The material remains dry as it absorbs moisture. The moisture evaporates completely while circulating through the fur and leaves it completely dry.

Items made of sheepskin are much more comfortable then other materials. Footwear made in sheepskin can keep you cool in summers and warm in winters as wool is a natural insulator, becoming an year-round product to wear.

The naturally crimped fibres that comes with cushioning support have got the scientists to believe that each wool hair comes with a three-dimensional spiralling crimp that absorbs pressure without flattening out. It helps in relieving pains and aches.

It is really great for the babies in every weather and climate. The newborns can learn to regulate the body temperature in the extreme care of sheepskin with temperature regulating properties. Studies have shown that low birth weight and pre term babies are more contented and grow faster in the warmth of sheepskin. As for older babies, they sleep more and cry less. Sheepskin gets the soothing, swaddling effect that ensures better sleep, reduced stress and improved weight gain.

It always provides a comforting and supportive surface for the babies to move actively while being breathable, wicking moisture away from the skin and leaving the bodies comfortable.

As compared to the man-made fibres like polar fleece that is highly flammable, poorly insulating and smelly, sheepskin comes with excellent insulating properties while being flame retardant and never smells. According to researches in medical journals, thermostatic qualities of sheepskin keeps the sheep warm in winter and cool in summer and this beauty is carried for the babies. By trapping the baby's own heat in a microclimate around them, it retains the baby's own temperature rather than overheating. No man-made fibre can equal this.
