Sky blue jute rug

We're wrapped with our rug. It is good quality & looks great. The rug house were fantastic to deal with & could not have been more helpful when I contacted them about having ordered the wrong size initially. They resolved this for me instantly & easily, & our rug arrived basically the next day. Very happy with our purchase & customer experience.

Versatile Styling for Every Room

Sheepskin rugs are incredibly adaptable. In bedrooms, they provide softness underfoot. In living spaces, they can be draped over sofas or armchairs for a relaxed, layered look. In nurseries, their plush texture creates a cosy play surface.

For larger floor coverage, explore our Large Rugs collection to compare sizing options.

Natural Texture & Timeless Appeal

Each sheepskin piece carries subtle variations in texture and tone, reflecting its natural origin. From classic ivory shades to deeper hues, sheepskin complements neutral interiors and contrasts beautifully with wood and stone finishes.

If you’re exploring other natural materials, you may also browse our Cowhide Rugs for a distinctive hide-based alternative.

Comfort That Lasts

Sheepskin is valued not only for its softness but also for its durability. With proper care, these rugs maintain their plush texture and shape over time. Regular light brushing and gentle maintenance help preserve their natural beauty.

Whether used as a decorative accent or a functional comfort layer, sheepskin rugs offer a refined finish that enhances both style and comfort in your home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your sheepskin rugs real?

Yes. Our sheepskin rugs are made from 100% genuine natural sheepskin, not synthetic or faux alternatives. Each rug features real wool with a natural suede leather backing for authentic softness, breathability, and long-lasting comfort. Unlike faux sheepskin, genuine sheepskin helps regulate temperature and typically lasts much longer with proper care.

Are sheepskin rugs suitable for New Zealand homes?

Absolutely. Sheepskin rugs are ideal for New Zealand homes, especially those with timber or polished concrete floors. They add natural insulation during cooler months while staying breathable enough for warmer seasons, making them comfortable year-round.

How do I clean a sheepskin rug?

Sheepskin rugs are low maintenance. Regular care includes shaking outdoors, gently brushing to restore fluff, and spot cleaning with a wool-safe detergent. For step-by-step instructions, read our guide on how to clean a sheepskin rug properly. Avoid hot water, harsh detergents, and tumble drying.

Do sheepskin rugs shed?

Some light shedding can occur when a rug is new — this is natural. With premium, dense wool and proper care, shedding is minimal. Regular gentle brushing helps keep fibres looking fluffy and reduces loose wool.

What size sheepskin rug should I choose?

The best size depends on your space and how you plan to use it:

  • Single – Ideal for chairs, bedside styling, and nursery use
  • Double – Great for bedroom floors and bench seating
  • Quad – Perfect as a living room feature rug
  • Sexto & Octo – Best for large open-plan spaces and king-size bedrooms

If you’re still deciding, read: Is a sheepskin rug worth it in NZ homes?

Are sheepskin rugs ethical?

Yes. Sheepskin is typically a natural by-product of the farming industry. Choosing genuine sheepskin supports responsible material use and offers a biodegradable alternative to synthetic rugs made from petroleum-based fibres.

Can sheepskin rugs be used in nurseries?

Yes, many families use sheepskin rugs in nurseries because they are soft, breathable, and naturally insulating. Always supervise infants and ensure the rug is placed safely on a stable surface.

How long does a sheepskin rug last?

With proper care, a high-quality sheepskin rug can last 5–10 years or more. Longevity depends on wool density, tanning quality, and how the rug is maintained over time.

Are sheepskin rugs worth the investment?

If you value natural materials, durability, and everyday comfort, a genuine sheepskin rug is worth the investment. Real sheepskin maintains its softness and character over time, offering long-term value compared to many synthetic alternatives.
