Shear Comfort produces 2 product lines of wool products. One is made from authentic Australian Medical Sheepskin; the other is made from Merino wool that has been shorn from the sheep and knitted into a backing material. The latter is called: Pressure Smart XD1900. The name is derived from the fact that the product is Extra Dense to the extent that it weighs at least 1900 grams per square meter.
