  • The Shear Comfort Pressure Care Assistant attaches securely by means of linen flaps which can be tucked in under the mattress at the position required to bring the wool protection and comfort to the part of the body selected, be it the feet, knees, pelvic area, shoulders, or head

    • Easy attachment on a bed
      Linen flaps for tucking in under the mattress mean that the wool protection can be held in place under the part of the body selected for protection
    • High density wool for added comfort
      The Shear Comfort Cushion-It is made from XD1900 which uses high density wool woven at 1900g per sqm for pressure redistribution and added comfort.
    • Healthy microclimate for the skin
      Wool takes up to 30% of its weight in water vapour without feeling moist. The air trapped between the wool fibres allows heat and moisture to dissipate.
    • Machine washable up to 80 degrees Celsius
      The fabric-backed material on which the wool is woven makes it easy to wash up to 80 degrees Celsius – for a hygienic wash.
    • 50 washes guaranteed
      Shear Comfort XD1900 products have a warranty up to 50 washes when following the manufacturer’s washing instructions.
    • Available in Blue.

  • Fabric-backed medical sheep's wool, unique to Shear Comfort

    XD1900 is medical sheep's wool unique to Shear Comfort, with a fibre density higher than even the very best natural sheepskins - which gives it superior pressure redistribution properties.

    This is achieved by weaving natural wool to a fabric backing, and is not to be confused with artificial sheepskins created from synthetic ‘wool.’ We use natural wool, and treat it to ensure it can be repeatedly washed up to 80°C. Plus, because XD1900 has no leather backing, it can be washed with normal household detergent. 

    All Shear Comfort products are machine washable, and guaranteed against deterioration for up to 50 washes.

    Benefits

    Natural Skin Microclimate Control

    What your Shear Comfort™ overlay does is to provide the ideal microclimate for a good sleep, looking after temperature and perspiration regulation, with the excellent air redistribution properties of a wool product.

    Improved Sleep Quality

    As far back as 1984, Dickson showed that a wool underlay decreased restlessness and improved sleep quality. Individuals with fibromyalgia, suffering from diffuse chronic pain and tender muscles, showed significant pain reduction and improved sleep quality when using wool overlays (Kiyak et all, 2009).

    Silent Pressure Care

    In a residential or medical care facility, Shear Comfort™overlays are a lower cost pressure care solution, and remove the discomfort and noise experienced with plastic based options, such as plastic air filled overlays or alternating pressure mattresses.
