Answer:
Sleeping on sheepskin will help to maintain a perfect body temperature. You will be kept warm if that is what your body needs, and vice versa if you need cooling.
Question:
How is that possible? It's Wool?
Answer:
Sheepskin fibres are amazing and so unique! The fibres themselves are made up of tiny air pockets, which trap warm air and circulate it, keeping you cozy warm. The fibres also absorb moisture but don't retain it, they release that moisture into the air, and that creates a cooling effect.
Question:
So sleeping on sheepskin will stop the night sweats?
Answer:
Sheepskin itself won't stop your sweating, that's unfortunately part of menopause. What sheepskin will do is keep you dry by absorbing the moisture you're releasing, and cool your body so your sleep is not being disturbed.
Question:
Isn't sheepskin wool itchy? How will I be able to sleep comfortably on that?
Answer:
That is the impression quite a few people have. We have probably all experienced that itchy wool sweater, that gave wool a bad reputation, but no, sheepskin is not itchy, just the opposite in fact, its silky soft! The "itchy" type of wool happens when wool is chemically treated or bleached. Authentic sheepskin is not treated that way so no itchiness!
Question:
If the sheepskin is absorbing all that moisture, won't it become a breeding ground for bacteria and dust mites?
Answer:
No and no! As I mentioned previously the sheepskin can absorb moisture, actually it can absorb 30-40% of its weight in moisture, but it doesn't retain it, it releases it into the air so there is not moisture left in the sheepskin. Bacteria and dust mites need humid, moist conditions, to live and grow, and they won't find that in sheepskin.
Question:
So with all that sweating going on, am I going to have to wash the sheepskin pad every day?
Answer:
Well here's something even more amazing, sheepskin has self-cleaning properties! What other fibre can make that claim?
When the moisture is pulled in by the sheepskin and then released, the sheepskin puts out this oil called lanolin, which creates a soap like effect that washes the fibre.
Not that you don't have to care for your sheepskin but you don't have to do it often. Sheepskin bed pads can be washed in a washing machine in cool water and then laid flat to dry.
Question:
How long will my sheepskin last?
Answer:
Sheepskin fibres are so strong, actually said to be stronger than steel, so the fibres don't wear down easily and can last you for years with proper care.
