Can Sheepskin Really Keep Your Baby Cool in Summer?

We know—it sounds a little strange at first! Sheepskin might seem like something you'd only use in the winter, but it’s actually amazing for keeping babies cool in warmer weather too. Here we take a quick look at exactly HOW sheepskin can keep your baby cool.

Let’s break down the science-y bit in a few quick, easy points:


💧sheepskin naturally draws moisture away from the skin and into the fibres

😎 as it absorbs moisture, it keeps the surface next to your baby’s skin dry, which prevent that sticky, sweaty feeling

🐑 sheespkin holds up to 30–35% of its own weight in moisture—without feeling wet

🌬️ wool fibres are naturally hollow, which means they’re breathable and allow air to flow through easily.
