Product Details

Pressure Relief Bed Fleece

When you're susceptible to pressure sores and ulcers, it's integral that you keep your skin dry and allow it to breathe. The Pressure Relief Bed Fleece is made from 100% pure new wool, which has the unique ability of being able to absorb perspiration and keep the skin dry. Unlike polyester, real wool is exothermic and can absorb up to 33% of its own weight in moisture without feeling damp so your skin can breathe more effectively.

What's Included?

  • 1 x Bed Fleece

Key Features and Benefits

  • Made from 100% pure new wool with a woven polyester backing
  • Absorbs perspiration to keep skin dry and enables skin to breathe
  • Pile has a depth of approximately 1 inch (or roughly 3cm) to spread pressure evenly
  • Covers are pre-treated and can therefore be autoclaved or washed at up to 40°C
  • Can be washed up to 50 times and still provide softness and comfort
  • Makes an excellent 'interface' on beds and chairs

Comfortable Design

Wool will not feel cold even when damp, allowing you to remain warm and comfortable during use. As real wool has a remarkable natural resilience and the real lamb's wool found in the cover distributes pressure more evenly, the fleece offers immediate and comfortable relief from pressure. The bed fleece also has a soft feel that prevents friction burns from occurring.

Which Types of Mattresses and Beds Are Suitable?

Unlike other similar fleeces, the Pressure Relief Bed Fleece is suitable for use on top of a range of different mattress types and bed styles. For a few examples of compatible mattresses, please view the list below:

  • Adjustable Air Mattresses
  • Air Beds
  • Hybrid Mattress
  • Memory Foam Mattresses
  • Sofa Beds
  • Spring Loaded Mattresses
  • Water Beds

Where Should I Place the Fleece?

For the best results when using the Pressure Relief Fleece, we recommend using the fleece below your normal bed sheets. This reduces the frequency of washing necessary and can also improve the user comfort, without impinging on the pressure relief provided.

Will the Pressure Relief Fleece Keep Me Cool?

The Pressure Relief Bed Fleece works to keep you cool, preventing overheating by absorbing persperation in order to keep you sleeping peacefully. However, if you need a topper specifically targeted towards symptoms of menopause, try the Layer of Air Cooling Mattress Topper. By creating a cooling layer between you and your mattress, the Topper specifically targets:

  • Aggressive hot flushes
  • Night sweats
  • Hyperthyroidism

Is the Thorpe Mill Bed Fleece Sheepskin?

While this fleece is made with genuine lambs wool, it features a woven polyester backing, and not sheepskin. This allows the user to enjoy the soft and comfortable benefits of wool, with the affordability and washability of other materials.

Versatile Pressure Relief Fleece

The Pressure Relief Fleece is ideal for the relief and prevention of pressure sores and pressure ulcers. Versatile in design, the fleece can be used to cover the entire sleeping area or specific parts of the sleeping area where the body is most prone to pressure sores. This makes it suitable for use on your bed, chair, sofa, a wheelchair, and any other sitting or lying area.

Can I Trim the Bed Fleece?

It is possible to trim the Pressure Relief Bed Fleece if you would like a bespoke fit. Please note that trimming can cause fraying at the edges of the fleece.

How Do I Wash My Thorpe Mill Bed Fleece?

We recommend washing your Pressure Relief Bed Fleece on a "wool cycle" when necessary. For best results:

  • Wash on a wool cycle with a wool friendly detergent to eliminate any odour or smell before use
  • Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry
  • Do not bleach in any circumstances
  • For effective drying, we recommend line drying your Pressure Relief Fleece

If your machine does not have a "wool cycle" setting, we recommend washing your fleece using a cold water cycle to prevent damage and loss of material.

I purchased this for my husband who has heart failure and consequently very poor peripheral circulation. This pad had relieved the pressure on his feet and ankles and he says his ankles are less painful. Wish we had purchased sooner. I ordered it and received it within 2days. Thank you..

Bought the medium size and then folded in 2 to provide nice depth of support for pressure point on big toe.
Lovely soft and great support and this size gives leeway for some movement through the night.

Luxurious fleece provides maximum comfort without masking the theraputic benefits of an electric pressure relieving mattress.
Delivery was timely as was the vat refund being a registered disabled customer.
Courier service excellent as was the communication provided throughout the ordering and dispatch process. Would highly recommend this company.
