  • Hospital Nursing Fleece (F103)
  • MiniJumbuk SuperWool Mattress Underlays (R215)
  • HiTemp UR Medical Sheepskin Underlays (M106)
  • Wool Duvets(T215)
  • Wool Filled Pillows (T216)
  • Lambswool Pillow Pads( M129C)

Hospital Nursing Fleece and Minijumbuk SuperWool Mattress Underlays are 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.

 

 

 

Hospital Nursing Fleece:

The nice thing about Hospital Nursing Fleece Bed Pads is that they give complete body protection and they allow the user complete freedom to move while being protected at all times.

Some of our customers use our Nursing Fleece Pads( F103A and F103B) as client transfer pads. They are machine washable, strong and protect the client from pressure sores, skin abrasion and tears.
