Wool-Pile
Our Wool-Pile ( Hospital Nursing Fleece) is created from wool, shorn from
fine wool Australian sheep. The wool is cleaned
after shearing, combed and then knitted into a backing material; using
the sliverknit process. Not all " wool-pile " in the market place is
made from pure new wool. Down-Under Wool only sells the highest quality
pure wool-pile products available.
Wool-pile is an excellent alternative to sheepskin. The advantage
that it has over sheepskin is that it can be up to 60" wide and as long as
needed. It is machine washable and because it is made from Superwash Wool, can be safely placed in the dryer.
Some of our products have a breathable, waterproof membrane bonded to
their back surface. This makes them suitable for use by incontinent
clients; protecting the mattress or wheelchair. Urine will not damage
wool-pile but will permanently damage most sheepskins. The only
sheepskins not damaged by urine are the
Australian HiTemp UR Medical Sheepskins.

SUPERWOOL UNDERLAYS
Superwool Underlays are wool-pile mattress covers that have an
elasticised corner strap to keep it in place. Once
you have slept on a SuperWool
Underlay, you'll never want to sleep on anything else !
Look at all the healthy
benefits of wool for your family. Pure wool "breathes", which makes it
more comfortable to sleep on year round. Wool maintains an even body
temperature, absorbing up to 30% of its own weight in moisture without feeling
damp. So you'll never feel clammy, just dry and comfortable. Wool is also
naturally non-allergenic, flame resistant and environmentally friendly, making
it safer for those you love.
All underlays have been treated with
Ultra-Fresh©-
undoubtedly the best anti-microbial
and anti-bacterial treatment around. Ultra-Fresh©
has been independently tested and proven to be effective in controlling
dust mite growth.
So,
there is no need to worry about dust mites and germs that cause many
allergies. Nor should you worry about the musty smell associated with
mould and mildew. Ultra-Fresh© is guaranteed to
last the lifetime of the product; no matter how many times you wash or
dry clean it.
Our
SuperWool Underlays:
-
are made from very-fine wool
-
have elastic corner straps that secure the underlay to your
mattress
-
are treated with an anti-microbial and anti-bacterial
process. Mites hate them, but your family will love them.
-
are over 600 g per square metre
So,
why would your family want to sleep on anything else?
Easy Care- just shake and air !
Underlays benefit from being
aired regularly ( possibly when the sheets are changed). Generally,
that's about all the care they need to keep them at their comfortable
best for years. However, if necessary, they can be dry cleaned. Allow at
least 24 hours airing afterwards. Alternatively, they can be washed in a
LARGE front-loading machine on a gentle cool/wool cycle; using
Woolskin. After a short, gentle spin,
allow to dry naturally in a well ventilated area.
DO NOT tumble dry. Heat or
agitation will damage the wool and must be avoided during the cleaning
process. Agitation causes felting of the wool and the loft will be
reduced.
