Description
The Sheepette Bed Pad 30 x 40 Inch is the mid-size synthetic sheepskin pad in the Sheepette line, covering a generous section of the bed with deep, plush pile. It is machine washable and dryable, so the pressure-relieving cushion can be laundered as often as the care routine demands.
- Deep Plush Pile – Sheepette synthetic sheepskin cushions the body – superior user comfort across the contact zone
- Washable and Dryable – Machine washable and dryable – the pile comes back from laundry instead of matting flat
- 30 x 40 Inch Coverage – A broad bed section, shoulder to hip – coverage for restless sleepers who drift off a small pad
- Synthetic, Not Shorn – Synthetic sheepskin gives the fleece feel without natural-wool care limits – no special washing ritual
Broader Fleece Coverage for Patients Who Move in Bed
A zone pad only works while the patient stays on it, and many patients do not. The 30 by 40 inch Sheepette extends the cushioned area so turning, shifting, and restless sleep stay on the pile, where pressure is spread across the deep synthetic fleece instead of concentrated on a sheet over a mattress.
The material case is the same as the rest of the line: Sheepette is Alex Orthopedic's synthetic sheepskin, plush like natural fleece but built for the machine. Wash it, dry it, and return it to the bed, as often as continence care or infection control requires.

Why the Mid-Size Pad Suits Restless Sleepers
Coverage is a clinical feature, not a luxury: a patient who rolls off a small pad gets no benefit from it. The 30 x 40 inch format keeps the cushioning under the patient through a night of normal movement.
- Coverage That Forgives Movement – A broad pile field from shoulder to hip – turning does not leave the patient on bare sheet
- 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
Frequently Asked Questions

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?

Where is the pad placed?
Place it on the bed under the shoulders, back, and hips. It can also cushion a recliner or a large chair seat.
