Every fleece is unique and has its own special character and pattern so please expect a bit of uniqueness/variation from the photos shown. They are tanned by Christchurch experts. Strictly limited volumes of these materials are available internationally so stock is often changing.

The sheepskins are all roughly the same size (Large) around 100 – 110cm x 60 – 70cm (Due to the nature of this product, size may differ by a few cm)
Care Instructions: Your Sheepskin may have been tightly packaged for the journey home and so the wool may appear flattened. Wool fibres are very resilient and will bounce back to their original springy appearance.
A vigorous shake will also help restore the soft, fluffy appearance of the wool. Any fold marks from the packaging will disappear once the skin has been removed from the package for several days.
Hand/Machine Washing: Use a mild liquid household detergent in cold or warm water when hand washing (max 40C) or use the 'wool wash' cycle on your washing machine (max 40C) Do not use soap or washing powders containing enzymes or bleach, or which are alkaline. *Do not use fabric softeners.
Rinse thoroughly in warm water. Hand squeeze as much water from the Sheepskin as possible or spin in the washing machine.
Drying: The Sheepskin may be tumble-dried on the 'cool' or 'warm' setting. Do not use the 'hot' setting as excessive heat may damage it. Alternatively, hang the Sheepskin outside to dry naturally, avoiding direct sunlight. Take care not to place the Sheepskin on a radiator, steam pipe or in front of a fan heater as this may damage the Sheepskin. Do not iron or bleach.
Brushing: After washing, the wool may revert back to its natural curly state. You can help restore the fluffy appearance by brushing the wool while it is wet and again when it is dry. A wire pet brush or comb is suitable.
The sheepskin can also be professionally dry-cleaned using either white spirits or perchloroethylene.

AustraliaExcellent product and service
The Icelandic Sheepskin is of a very high quality and the customer service was outstanding., I couldn't of asked for better service. The shipping was quick. I highly recommend Life of Riley. Thankyou Steen
New ZealandLet the dogs decide
A lot of sniffing to determine the authenticity of the item. Humans put them on top of an existing bed and a new one they bought. Our humans are pretty good at looking after us and we now have 4 Life of Riley beds for 2 dogs and now these fluffy things. Oh yes, they passed the sniff test and they are very comfy thanks.
New ZealandFablous this is the 4th or 5th time I've purchased from here, and excellent service/product / speedy delivery every time !!! Bravo

New ZealandEven more beautiful than expected
The sheepskin looked great on line, but it's simply breathtaking in 3D! Exquisitely finished, large and luxurious with its amazingly long pile, and the colours are nuanced, a delight to the eye. The simple enviromentally-friendly packing was appreciated, as was the swift delivery. I plan to order another as a present for friends in Europe - I know they'll be blown away!

New ZealandPremium Natural Icelandic Sheepskins
This is a very luxurious sheepskin of a lovely deep rust colour, it fits perfectly on the wooden chair and is very comfortable to sit on.
New ZealandThe most luxurious, silky, long length sheepskin you can imagine
These are even better than the pictures which is really saying something. They are like something you see in movies and magazines but better because they are in real life! I could not be happier with my purchase, so much so that my friend also purchased one after seeing how beautiful these really are. Thank you so much for such an amazing product at such a reasonable price.
New ZealandWonderful communication and support
I bought an Icelandic Sheepskin and 2 spare wool bed covers. We’re rural so it’s handy to have spares for “muddy dog” days. The sheepskin is of such good quality and a decent size ~ I had to say “sorry boys, this one’s for my couch! I’ve now ordered a second one, for the other end of the couch! Great service as always, very happy to be not a customer but a client. Happy dogs too!
New ZealandStunning sheepskins!
The sheepskins arrived and were everything I expected. Absolutely stoked, to the point I want to order more as back ups in case anything happens to them!
AustraliaGorgeous!
