Description
The Sheepette Bed Pad 30 x 60 Inch is the long-format synthetic sheepskin pad, running five feet down the bed so the pile cushions the body from shoulders to calves. Like the rest of the Sheepette line it is machine washable and dryable, built for repeated laundering.
- Five-Foot Length – 30 x 60 inches covers shoulders to calves – heels and hips land on pile, not on sheet edges
- Deep Plush Pile – Sheepette synthetic sheepskin cushions the whole contact line – superior user comfort along the body
- Washable and Dryable – Machine washable and dryable – a long pad that still fits the facility laundry routine
- Synthetic, Not Shorn – Synthetic sheepskin gives the fleece feel without natural-wool care limits – no special washing ritual
Full-Length Pile for Patients Who Live in Bed
For a patient who spends most of the day in bed, pressure risk runs the length of the body: shoulders, back, hips, calves, and heels all rest on the mattress for hours. A 60 inch Sheepette puts the pile under that whole line at once, spreading load and letting air move at the skin interface along the body instead of at one zone.
Sheepette is Alex Orthopedic's synthetic sheepskin, chosen because natural fleece cannot survive institutional laundry. This pad machine washes and dries, so a full-length cushion can be kept genuinely clean, and its length means one product does the work of a zone pad plus a separate heel pad.

Why One Long Pad Beats Two Short Ones
Two zone pads leave a seam, and the seam always seems to find a bony prominence. A single 60 inch pad gives an unbroken pile surface from shoulders to calves, with one item to position, wash, and track.
- Unbroken Coverage – Shoulders to calves on one pad – no gap at the hips where two pads would meet
- Heels Included – The length reaches the heels – the highest-risk spot gets pile without a second product
- Facility-Friendly Care – Machine wash and dry – no dry cleaning, no air-dry downtime
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 30 x 60 inch long format. Shorter Sheepette sizes are listed separately.
Where is the pad placed?
Center it on the bed so it runs from the shoulders to the calves. It covers the main contact line of a patient in bed.
Does it have a waterproof backing?
The Sheepette pad is a cushioning pad, not a barrier underpad. Pair it with a waterproof underpad when fluid protection is also needed.
