These wonderful rugs are used in both Montessori and Reggio inspired Day Nurseries, the natural textures of the rugs and the superb quality make these a sought after essential in any environment where quality of care is of paramount importance.
Sheepskin baby rugs have been enjoyed by babies from around the world, the warmth and comfort of the fleece feels wonderful against the skin. The versatility and special properties of Sheepskin were revealed by a woman in New Zealand, when her child was recovering from illness. Mothers have wrapped their babies in wool to keep them warm and dry, for centuries. The use of lambskin as bedding, pram or floor mat is the modern equivalent.
Thermal Control Sheepskin Baby rugs are used throughout the year. Wool is a natural insulator and will trap warm air keeping temperatures stable and baby warm. The natural properties of wool have been recognised for centuries. As a natural fibre it absorbs moisture, which, when released, keeps baby cooler and more comfortable. Using sheepskin can avoid unnecessary clothing, frequently a contributing cause to irritability and discomfort.
Size: Approx size Single – 56cm X 85cm -90cm Double 56cm x 170-175cm. The Wool is shorn to the same length all over at approx 35mm.
Please note: These rugs undergo a specialist tanning procedure to ensure they are suitable for newborns. Unfortunately we cannot source these from the UK without sacrificing quality. Therefore these are rugs are from New Zealand skins.

I bought the baby safe rug for my new granddaughter. It has been a magnificent success as she becomes so animated when placed on it that it appears as if she’s been ” switched on”. Having researched the health benefits for babies as well all human beings of any age, the sheepskin rug will be a great asset for many years to come. I had one from childhood to late twenties. I also bought the baby safe bear to go with the rug for my granddaughter ,which , in my opinion is of the highest quality and design .
