Description
The Sheepette Bed Pad 24 x 30 Inch is a plush synthetic sheepskin pad that cushions the body zone it covers, spreading pressure across a deep, soft pile. The Sheepette material is machine washable and dryable, so the pad stays in the rotation instead of shedding like natural fleece.
- Deep Plush Pile – Sheepette synthetic sheepskin cushions bony areas – superior user comfort where the body meets the bed
- Washable and Dryable – Machine washable and dryable – the pad launders clean instead of matting down
- 24 x 30 Inch Zone Pad – Covers the hip and torso zone of a bed – the area that carries the most pressure
- Synthetic, Not Shorn – Synthetic sheepskin gives the fleece feel without natural-wool care limits – no special washing ritual
Fleece Cushioning for the Part of the Bed That Works Hardest
Pressure concentrates where bone sits close to skin, and for a person in bed that means the hips, back, and heels. A Sheepette pad puts a deep pile under that zone, and the pile does two things at once: it spreads the load across more surface, and it lets air move at the skin interface so the contact area stays more comfortable through the night.
Natural sheepskin is famous for this job and infamous for its care. Sheepette is the synthetic answer from the same manufacturer: plush like fleece, but machine washable and dryable, so the pad can be laundered as often as hygiene requires. At 24 by 30 inches it covers the primary contact zone of a twin or hospital bed.

Why Synthetic Sheepskin Wins the Laundry Test
The best pressure pad is the one that is clean and on the bed, not the one waiting for special care. Sheepette's synthetic pile goes through the washer and dryer like any facility textile, so it gets washed as often as it should be.
- Real Pile Cushioning – Deep synthetic fleece spreads pressure – comfort a flat sheet cannot offer a bedridden patient
- Facility-Friendly Care – Machine wash and dry – no dry cleaning, no air-dry downtime
- Zone Coverage – 24 x 30 inches targets the hips and back – the highest-pressure area of the bed
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Sheepette real sheepskin?
No, Sheepette is a synthetic sheepskin made by Alex Orthopedic. It gives a plush fleece pile with machine washable care.
Can this pad be washed and dried by machine?
Yes, the manufacturer rates the pad machine washable and dryable. That is the main advantage over natural sheepskin.
What size is this pad?
This listing is the 24 x 30 inch size, meant to cover the hip and torso contact zone. Larger Sheepette sizes are listed separately.
Where is the pad placed?
Place it on the bed under the hips and back, the zone that carries the most pressure. It can also cushion a recliner or wheelchair seat.
