Care Instructions

Cold delicate machine wash on a cool cycle (or hand wash) We recommend using our Life of Riley "Laundry Wash"

Hang inside out to dry in the shade (not direct sunlight)- Do not dry in the dryer.

If you have a limited edition leather tag on your bed (spice or Ivory) DO NOT SOAK or the colour will bleed from the tag.

Because our covers are made from 100% cotton please don't leave them out in the sun for extended periods of time. In the long run, all fabric colours eventually fade in sunlight but cotton tends to fade easier than polyester.

The inner mattress can be spot cleaned only. DO NOT remove the wool from the white inner lining and DO NOT machine wash the inner. The zip is only there for when they are manufactured, it is not designed to have the wool removed.

The inner can also be sprayed with nature’s miracle/odorex if needed to remove stains or odours. As the bed is natural It is important to air the inner mattress regularly in the sunshine whenever you wash the cover. Make sure to dry outside properly before putting the cover back on.

IMPORTANT: If the wool is removed from the inner liner, you will find it extremely difficult to put it back in to lay flat again. There is also a high chance you will break the zip. We can sell replacement inner liners if this happens, but please be aware that this will be at your own expense.

These can be sponged or hand washed in cool water but do not agitate. You can use a very gentle wash on a wool cycle with a low spin (low spin is very important or the wool will move)

Lay flat to completely dry in the shade.

Gentle wash if necessary on a cool wool cycle or hand wash. It is better not to wash them too often. Hang out to dry in the shade (not direct sunlight) - Do not dry in the dryer.

Brushing wool is the best way to clean it.

Sheepskin is naturally hard-wearing and pretty easy to look after. A little regular care will keep yours looking lovely for years to come.

SHAKE & AIR IT OUT

Give your sheepskin a good shake from time to time to loosen dirt and fluff up the wool. A gentle vacuum is also great for removing crumbs and everyday dust.

KEEP OUT OF DIRECT SUN

Sheepskin is a natural fibre, so prolonged direct sunlight can cause the colour to fade or change.

ACCIDENTS HAPPEN

Don’t panic! Dab spills as soon as you can with a clean, absorbent cloth. Use cool water and a little natural wool wash if needed, then dab away the moisture and leave to air dry naturally, away from heat and direct sun.

WE DON’T RECOMMEND WASHING

Most sheepskins don't need a full wash. Regular shaking, vacuuming and spot cleaning should do the trick. Washing can make the leather side a little stiffer and generally will change the shape or texture of the rug.

• If completely soiled and washing is unavoidable, use a cool delicate cycle, low spin and mild wool wash. Stretch gently back into shape while damp and dry naturally. Never tumble dry.

NATURAL TEXTURE CHANGES

Your sheepskin will arrive beautifully soft and silky — but like all natural wool, the texture will naturally change over time with use. The fibres may become a little more relaxed, fluffy or matted in places. This is completely normal and part of the character of a well-loved sheepskin.

A LITTLE COMBING

For our naturally longer sheepskins, we recommend using your fingers to gently separate the wool. A very wide-tooth comb can also be used gently if needed.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY...

Sheepskins are made for real life! So don't stress over the odd spill or muddy paw. A little care goes a long way.
