Hanlin, one of the UK’s largest trade-only wholesalers of hides and skins, is returning to Spring Fair this year (stand 8-A50). Fresh from celebrating its 50th anniversary, the family-owned company will showcase a collection of natural luxury products that reflect five decades of growth, expertise, and commitment to quality.
Among these will be a range of sheepskin seat pads, which Hanlin describes as a simple yet effective way to enhance comfort in the home, car or office: "Naturally luxurious and highly functional, they provide year-round comfort while adding a touch of timeless style to any seat.
"Sheepskin’s unique wool fibres have a natural springiness that cushions the body and distributes weight evenly. Each fibre acts like a tiny coil, helping to relieve pressure points and reduce discomfort during long periods of sitting. This makes sheepskin seat pads ideal for office chairs, car seats, wheelchairs, dining chairs, and outdoor seating.
"One of sheepskin’s standout features is its ability to regulate temperature. The breathable wool fibres trap air, helping to keep you warm in winter and cool in summer. This natural insulation makes sheepskin seat pads perfect for all seasons, particularly in environments where temperatures fluctuate, such as vehicles.
"Sheepskin is also naturally hypoallergenic, antibacterial, and moisture-wicking. Its lanolin content helps keep skin healthy while resisting odours and dirt. For people who sit for extended periods, sheepskin can help minimise irritation and improve overall sitting comfort.
"High-quality sheepskin is extremely durable and resistant to flattening. With simple care – regular shaking, light brushing, and occasional spot cleaning – seat pads can remain soft and supportive for years."
Available in natural tones such as ivory, grey and taupe, Hanlin's sheepskin seat pads have been designed to suit a wide range of interiors. As a by-product of the meat industry, genuine sheepskin is also an eco-friendly and biodegradable choice, the supplier concludes.
"Sheepskin seat pads combine comfort, health benefits, durability, and natural elegance, making them a practical yet luxurious upgrade for any seat."
Spring Fair will take place at the NEC Birmingham from 1st-4th February.
