Use as an underlay beneath a sheet or place directly under the body, either on a bed or a chair. Lying on a sheep skin will relieve pressure points and increase circulation thereby reducing the development of bedsores. These medical sheepskins come from fine fleece Merino sheep in a natural animal shape, golden beige in colour. Medical sheepskins are hand selected, average 6-7 sq. ft. (0.6 sq. m) in size. Hand washable at low temperature. Airdry.
