Sheepskin Rugs

Sheepskin rugs offer a warm, luxurious and cosy floor covering, and may also be used as a throw for sofas or chairs, making them especially useful for leather furniture, which is often cold to the touch. Unlike rugs that are made using nylon, polyamide or other man-made fibres, which can take hundreds (or even thousands) of years to decompose, sheepskin rugs are completely biodegradable. In addition, they are manufactured using traditional methods that have been used for centuries, and do not produce environmental pollution during the process.

Sheepskin rugs are typically available in a range of sizes, ranging from a single skin (approximately 60x90 cm) - perfect for warming your toes on as you get out of bed - up to a ten pelt sheepskin rug (approx. 180x275 cm), which is roughly the same size as a standard area rug.

You'll be able to find sheepskin rugs in almost every colour imaginable, from cool white to rich black, not to mention electric blue, fuchsia or bright purple. There's also a good range of natural colours available, such as warm ivory, creamy champagne or lush chocolate.

Some companies may offer a bespoke design facility to create a rug that will cater to your exact needs, so whatever you're looking for, you'll be sure to find it!
