Double Sheepskin Rugs

A double sheepskin rug gives you the same natural warmth and softness as a single, but with more width and presence. They’re a favourite for benches and window seats, the foot of the bed, or anywhere you want a bigger, cosier landing spot.

Each one is made from real sheepskin, so you’ll see natural variation in tone, shape and wool length. That’s part of the charm. Some doubles are calm and tonal, others have stronger markings, and every pair of fleeces comes together a little differently.

Where double sheepskins work best

Our double sheepskins aren't your average sheepskin rugs. They're 100% real and sustainably sourced from the best quality suppliers or tanned right here on Skye.

Double sheepskin rugs or throws offer more coverage than single sheepskin rugs and can look great in a range of settings around your home, like...

  • On a bench or window seat
  • At the foot of the bed
  • Beside a bed as a wider bedside rug
  • In front of the fireplace
  • Draped over a sofa or daybed

FAQs

What is a double sheepskin rug?

A double is made by joining two fleeces to create a wider rug. It gives you more coverage than a single and works well on benches, at the foot of a bed or as a statement piece by the fire.

What size is a double sheepskin rug?

Double rugs vary naturally. Many end-to-end doubles are around 185cm long and 65cm wide, but check each product page for measurements.

How do I look after a double sheepskin rug?

For brushing, airing and cleaning guidance, use our dedicated sheepskin care guide.

Are double sheepskin rugs good for benches and window seats?

Yes. Doubles are one of the best options for benches because they have the width to sit properly and the weight to feel substantial.

Can I use a double sheepskin rug on the floor?

Yes. They’re popular beside beds, in front of fireplaces and in larger living spaces where a single would look too small.

Are double sheepskin rugs suitable for underfloor heating?

Often yes as a comfort layer, but sheepskin is insulating so it can reduce heat transfer if you cover a large area. Many people use doubles beside the bed or as an accent rather than wall-to-wall coverage.

Do double sheepskins all look the same?

No. Real sheepskin varies in tone, shape and markings. Even within the same colour family, every rug is slightly different.
