A good friend of mine said people used to use deer skins for
bedridden patients. Deer hair is hollow. Each hair shaft has
an air space inside. Better insulation through the cold winter
months. Since this hollow hair keeps air under the patient, the
skin breaths better and helps elliminate bedsores. Sheep wool
is not hollow. But, the thick matt of the wool is bound to trap
a lot of air. Since air is air which is bound to hold a bit of
oxygen, and sheep shins are more readily obtainable, and they
hold a lot of air next to the skin...... Bob's your uncle, as
the British would say.

Be careful tho, some folks are alergic to wool products. Sheeps
is wool products, me thinks.
