Medical Sheepskin Rugs – Healing Comfort
Medical sheepskins are designed not just for warmth and softness, but for health and comfort. Tanned with natural, plant-based agents – free from harmful chrome or chlorine – these therapeutic hides are safe for people and the environment. The ecological tanning gives them their characteristic warm golden colour and silky, fluffy wool.
Often referred to as healing skins, medical sheepskins are recommended by physiotherapists and rheumatologists. They provide gentle pressure relief, regulate temperature, and help to improve comfort for those with rheumatism, arthritis, or joint problems. Many people also use them in bed or on chairs for extra support and relief.

Size Chart
Size guide
Sheepskin rugs
The length is measured from the head to the tip of the longest leg, while the width is taken across the widest part of the hide. This means you see both the maximum length and the broadest width.
All sheepskins are measured and then rounded to the nearest 5 cm. For example, 101 cm becomes 100 cm, and 77 cm becomes 80 cm.
| Size | Length (cm) | Length (inches) |
|---|---|---|
| S | ≤ 99 | ≤ 39″ |
| M | 100–109 | 39–43″ |

Cowhide rugs
The length is measured from the top to the tip of the longest leg, while the width is measured at the widest section of the hide. This gives you the full span in both directions.
Cowhides are measured and then rounded to the nearest 10 cm. For example, 205 cm is rounded up to 210 cm, while 204 cm is rounded down to 200 cm.
