Are sheepskins only useful for cuddling up to and staying warm during the winter? No! Genuine Medical Sheepskins have the opposite effect and help to keep us cool in the warmer part of the year. This is because of its capacity to regulate our core body temperature.
Sheepskin Is Not Only For The Winter
A thick wooly natural sheepskin is perhaps the last thing most people would think of when considering appropriate materials for staying cool in the heat of summer. You might be shocked to learn that sheepskin is a material with outstanding year-round benefits, making it a popular and superior option for footwear, accessories, and numerous home goods, compared to synthetic fibers.
Stay cool in the summer by using sheepskin and Merino wool products. When you sweat, the breathable wool fibers wick moisture from your skin. This leaves a layer of dry insulating air close to your skin, protecting you from the sweltering heat outside. Additionally, it enables efficient air circulation. It means sheepskin not only keeps you warm in the cold months, but it also keeps you cooler in the summer months.
Medical Sheepskin Keeps You Cool In Summers
A pure natural Australian Medical Sheepskin is made up of 30mm fibers, that trap air between them. Due to its breathability, lambskins and sheepskins maintain your body temperature. Lambskin wool fibers allow air to flow between them, keeping the skin dry.
The wool fibers regulate body temperature and maintain it at the optimal level (which for adults is 98.6°F (37.0°C) and for children is 97.7°F (36.5°C)).
Furthermore, before the age of three months, infants are unable to control their body temperature. However, putting a sheepskin blankie in your baby's cot will improve their sleep. When it's colder at night and warmer during the day, lambskin holds pockets of warm air while letting hot air escape. The baby's body temperature is regulated by doing this.
The sheepskin cools you down more quickly in hot weather by automatically wicking sweat away from the skin and releasing it into the air- up to seven times faster than synthetic fabrics. Therefore, sheepskin helps maintain a constant body temperature when it comes into contact with human skin.
