HANLIN T: +44 (0)1564 702 116 www.hanlin.co.uk When it comes to adding a touch of elegance, comfort, and a dash of luxury to any living space, sheepskin is an exceptional choice. Beyond its undeniable aesthetic appeal, it offers an array of health benefits that make it a wise investment. • Natural Warmth and Insulation: Sheepskin possesses excellent insulating properties, making it an ideal choice for maintaining warmth during colder seasons. The natural fibres of sheepskin create tiny air pockets that trap heat, providing a cosy environment to snuggle up in. Whether it’s a sheepskin rug, chair cover, or even slippers, the soft and insulating nature of sheepskin will keep you comfortably warm throughout the year. • Moisture Regulation: Sheepskin is renowned for its ability to regulate moisture. The fibres in sheepskin are hygroscopic, meaning they can absorb moisture from the air, helping to maintain a balanced humidity level in your surroundings. By wicking away moisture, sheepskin can prevent the build-up of mould, mildew, and bacteria, creating a healthier environment for you and your loved ones. • Pressure Relief and Pain Alleviation: The plush and springy texture of sheepskin provides excellent cushioning and pressure relief, making it highly beneficial for those who suffer from joint pain, arthritis, or those just looking for some extra comfort underneath their feet. Sheepskin’s natural elasticity distributes pressure evenly, providing ultimate comfort to walk across. Incorporating sheepskin into your living areas or using it as a chair throw can offer significant relief and enhanced comfort. • Hypoallergenic and Skin-Friendly: Sheepskin is naturally hypoallergenic, making it a great choice for individuals with sensitive skin or allergies. The lanolin found in sheepskin possesses anti-bacterial properties that help prevent the growth of dust mites and other allergens. Additionally, sheepskin’s breathable nature allows air to circulate, reducing the risk of skin irritation and improving overall skin health. • Sound and Vibration Absorption: The dense fibres of sheepskin act as natural sound absorbers, helping to reduce echo and unwanted noise in your living space. Whether you’re adding sheepskin to your bedroom or living room, it can create a more serene and peaceful ambiance. • Stress Relief and Relaxation: Beyond its physical benefits, sheepskin is known to have a calming and soothing effect on the mind. Its luxurious feel and cosy texture can evoke a sense of relaxation, helping to alleviate stress and promote better sleep. Whether you’re lounging on a sheepskin-covered chair or resting your feet on a soft sheepskin rug, its touch offers a gentle escape from the pressures of daily life.
