Sheepskin Chair Covers & Seat Pads

Refresh your home with seat covers and chair pads in real sheepskin

A sheepskin seat cover gives your living room or kitchen a touch of pure nature and Scandinavian charm. Our soft sheepskin seat covers come in both round and square shapes and are made from several types of sheepskin, including New Zealand, Tibetan and Icelandic. Below you can read a little more about what makes each of these types special, and how to pick the right one for the chairs, benches and stools you already own.

Sheepskin seat covers for dining chairs

Give your dining chairs a warmth and comfort that is hard to match with seat covers made from genuine sheepskin. A real sheepskin chair pad has a few quiet advantages. It keeps its looks for years and asks very little of you in return, so there is no need to panic if something gets spilled on the wool. We have written several guides on caring for sheepskin over on our blog, so you can relax and simply enjoy the seat cover.

Our range includes covers in both short wool and long wool sheepskin, in a spread of colours and shapes. The short wool seat covers are popular because they need so little upkeep and still come in plenty of shades. The most loved of all are the ones in white and anthracite. Those two colours slip into almost any home and sit happily next to other tones, which is why you will find nearly all of our seat covers offered in them. It does not matter whether you go for a short wool New Zealand cover, a square Icelandic cushion or a curly Tibetan one, the comfort is the same.

Furnish your home with real sheepskin seat covers

Real sheepskin seat covers let you set up your home exactly the way you like it. The Nordic-inspired designs come in a wide choice of colours, so you can land on the one that feels right, and we promise you will sit soft and warm on every single one. Brighten a dining chair with a coloured sheepskin, or make the bench by the front door feel welcoming with two round covers in Tibetan wool. A single fluffy cover can work wonders on a plain chair and bring out a cosy mood that guests tend to remember.

Tibetan sheepskin in particular is a real eye-catcher, with its elegant corkscrew curls that read as both natural and a little bit luxurious. The wool feels velvet-soft, though it sits a touch thinner than, say, a long wool sheepskin from New Zealand. New Zealand long wool is known for its long, glossy fibres and a lovely density that makes for an exceptionally comfortable seat.

How do I find the right sheepskin seat cover for my chair?

Choosing the right sheepskin for a dining chair can feel more complicated than it should, mostly because there are so many types and sizes to weigh up. We understand that completely, which is why we try to keep the sizing simple. Our round covers sit at roughly 13 inches across, while the square ones measure about 16 by 16 inches, and there are shaped covers made specifically for Y-chairs and wishbone chairs so nothing slides around while you sit. The important thing is to measure your own seat first. A quick check of the seat width, and whether your chair has a high or low back, tells you almost everything you need to know before you order.

Dyed and natural sheepskin seat covers

Many of our seat covers are dyed, while others keep the natural colour they were born with. That difference matters more than it first appears. The New Zealand and Tibetan covers in this collection are dyed, which means the colour is consistent from one cushion to the next even though the skins come from different places. If you want four matching seat covers for a set of dining chairs, dyed is almost always the safer choice, since the shade will line up neatly across all of them. If you would rather have a cover that is completely one of a kind, and small variations in tone do not bother you, then a natural sheepskin is the one to go for.

Sheepskin car seat covers and everyday use

These covers earn their keep well beyond the dining table. The flat, square ones make a simple sheepskin chair pad for a home office or a reading chair, softening a hard wooden seat and taking the chill off a metal stool. Plenty of people use the smaller round covers as sheepskin car seat covers for the daily drive, where the wool helps manage moisture and temperature so you stay comfortable on both cold mornings and warm afternoons. Wool does this naturally, without any of the clammy feeling you get from synthetic pads.

Sheepskin seat covers for the garden and outdoors

Real sheepskin is a fine match for a conservatory or a sheltered spot on the terrace. For that kind of use we would point you toward the natural, undyed covers. Beyond the cosy feel, they hold a practical edge, because undyed skins will not fade in direct sunlight the way dyed ones can. Each natural fleece takes its colour straight from the animal, so every piece is unique and may sit a shade away from the photo. Sheepskin is hard-wearing by nature, though it is still best kept out of the rain, since a soaking can dry out the leather backing. A natural cover also insulates against both cold and heat, staying cool in summer and warm in winter, which makes it an easy thing to leave out all year. In this collection you will find natural covers from Iceland in a generous square size, in both a long-haired version with fibres around four inches long and a shorter, tidier cut.

Round sheepskin seat covers

Square covers are perfect for garden chairs and seats with a bit more surface to fill, but if you are after a cover for a bar stool or a smaller seat, a round seat cover is often the better fit. Round covers bring a comfortable place to sit and a quiet bit of style to a room at the same time. You can choose between round covers in Tibetan sheepskin, New Zealand long wool and New Zealand short wool, and each has its own character.

Tibetan sheepskin stands out for its softness and its long, silky corkscrew curls, so these covers hand a little glamour to any seat and look right at home on an elegant dining chair or as an accent in the living room. New Zealand long wool leans into natural beauty and works with all sorts of interiors, its long, dense wool giving both a soft cushion and a relaxed, rustic look that suits a Scandinavian home. It is robust enough for daily use and comes in a range of colours, so picking two, four or more matching covers is easy. New Zealand short wool, with its small tight curls, is the simplest to care for, since it shrugs off dirt and wipes clean without fuss, and it slips neatly into modern or minimalist rooms thanks to its soft, muted tones.

All of our skins are chosen with care, whether they end up draped over a sofa or sitting under you as a seat cover. We keep the best fleeces we can find so that you get a beautiful, organic product every time, and that is really the whole point. Whichever one you land on, a sheepskin seat cover turns sitting down into a small everyday luxury.
