Ok, some of this point has been missed, I mean, um, bears do it on bear skins...in fact, the things that bears get into..well,not all bears only eat honey...ya know? So I don't think I would worry so much about the sweat and other bodily fluids WE leave....
The idea, if I recall, was the warmth of the fire and btw, yes, they are soft. Softer than woven rugs that people put in front of fires nowadays. And because the fur is fairly long, it doesn't exactly chaffe, it sort of moves with you..NOT that I have EVER tried it.
