Why sheepskin keeps you cool in summer
Often the first thought about sheepskin is that it is warm and cosy but did you know that the same warm snuggly sheepskin can also keep you cool in summer?
If you are trying to find a fibre that will keep you cool in summer then sheepskin is the perfect answer, and so versatile too. From the perfect picnic rug to pram liners and cot toppers to keep baby cool and calm in the heat, sheepskin has so much to offer.
How does sheepskin keep you cool ?
It’s all down to the wonders of mother nature.
Synthetic fabrics trap moisture and heat whereas the unique structure of the sheepskin fibres works to keep you both warm when you need it, but also cool.
The thermostatic qualities of sheepskin come from the cool air flow between the individual fibres.
Sheepskin absorbency works in a very different way to man-made fabrics – it actually ‘holds’ the moisture within the air trapped between the tiny strands.
This same trapped air provides the perfect breathable environment to take away that sticky feeling that makes those beautiful summer days a little less comfortable.
Sheepskin for breathability
What exactly does it mean when we say that sheepskin is breathable - simply put it means that the fibre allows air to circulate freely. This airflow between the tiny fibres helps prevent overheating by allowing heat and moisture to escape, keeping the body temperature regulated.
Sheepskin is the perfect choice for a breathable bed or cot liner as it will help regulate temperature. It's also popular choice to aid sleep and rest and to keep the body perfectly supported and cushioned too !
Keep your pram cool
Next time the sun is out and you are looking to keep your baby cool in the pram make sure you try out a super comfortable sheepskin liner. With natural temperature regulation alongside the ultimate in comfort, your little one will enjoy the warm sunshine without the sticky wet back!
