What is all the Hype About Sheepskin?
You may have noticed the growing excitement around sheepskin products lately, and I’m excited to share what all the hype is about! Sheepskin is not just a luxurious addition to your home; it offers a multitude of health benefits that can improve your comfort and well-being.
When it comes to quality sheepskin, Owen Barry stands out as a premier brand. With a rich heritage dating back to 1840, Owen Barry has built a reputation for crafting exquisite sheepskin and leather products that combine traditional craftsmanship with modern design. Each piece is meticulously made in the UK, ensuring that you receive only the finest quality that lasts for years.
One of the key aspects that set Owen Barry apart is their environmentally friendly tanning process. They utilize a non-toxic, chrome-free tanning method, which not only preserves the natural qualities of the sheepskin but also ensures that the final product is free from harmful chemicals. This makes Owen Barry sheepskin a healthier choice for your home, particularly for those with sensitivities or allergies. You can enjoy the luxurious feel of sheepskin without worrying about exposure to toxic substances.
Stepping onto a sheepskin rug is an experience like no other. The plush cushioning provides gentle support for your feet, making it particularly beneficial for those with arthritis or joint pain. Imagine waking up in the morning and feeling the soft embrace of sheepskin underfoot—it truly makes every step more enjoyable and can provide immediate relief for those in need.
But the advantages of sheepskin extend beyond comfort. Its natural moisture-wicking properties keep your skin dry and comfortable, which is especially important for those with sensitive skin or conditions like eczema. Plus, sheepskin is a remarkable thermal regulator, keeping you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It creates a cozy atmosphere that you’ll love coming home to, no matter the season.
Sheepskin is also known for its higher frequency, which some believe can be beneficial for our health. This natural property may contribute to a sense of well-being and comfort, making it an excellent choice for creating a nurturing environment in your home.
One of the standout features of sheepskin is that it is naturally antibacterial and self-cleaning. To keep your rugs looking their best, it’s recommended to shake them out weekly. For longer wool rugs, you can enhance their appearance by brushing them with a wire dog brush, which helps to maintain their plushness. However, we don’t brush our short-haired curly rug, as it maintains its texture beautifully without additional grooming.

Owen Barry sheepskin also provides a soft and safe resting place for babies. The gentle cushioning is ideal for little ones, offering them a warm and comfortable surface to play, crawl, or nap on. Parents can feel confident knowing that their babies are resting on a natural, non-toxic material that’s as safe as it is luxurious.
Additionally, some believe that placing a sheepskin underneath your laptop when working on your lap can help protect against electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure. While more research is needed in this area, many users appreciate the added comfort and warmth that sheepskin provides while they work, along with the potential for reduced EMF exposure.
Personally, I love to place a sheepskin rug at the end of my bed on top of my comforter for added warmth during the winter months. It not only enhances the cozy aesthetic of my bedroom but also provides that extra layer of softness and warmth that makes those cold mornings much more inviting.
By incorporating high-quality sheepskin into your home, you’re not only improving your comfort but also embracing a lifestyle that supports wellness and sustainability. I invite you to explore our collection of sheepskin rugs and discover how they can transform your living environment into that of comfort and beauty.
