A wound dressing comprises at least two absorbent non-woven layers comprised of entangled fibres and being in an opposed relationship to each other. One of the layers is a wound facing layer. The said layers are held in spaced apart relationship from each other by a plurality of spacer wicks that are spaced apart from each other. The spacer wicks are formed by entanglement (e.g. by needling) of fibres from at least one of said layers into the adjacent layer, such that the fibres at the ends of the wicks are entangled with the fibres of the respective adjacent layers to hold the layers together in the spaced apart relationship.
