Product Description

Details

This 100% merino long-sleeve bodysuit is made from a luscious 220g, 100% rib knit fabric. It is super soft and snuggly for babies and toddlers to wear day or night. The rib knit gives this Merino bodysuit great stretch, allowing the fabric to 'hug' your baby nicely snug, making it the perfect base layer and easy to take on and off your baby! The weight and rib construction of this long-sleeve bodysuit means it is thicker than most on the market. It is made to last longer and is durable and warmer for those cooler months. The dome snaps at the bottom of the bodysuit have been reinforced to make them extra durable.

At The Sleep Store, we love to find amazing products that help children sleep better. Layers of merino are an essential tool in helping children sleep better in winter, so we are delighted to add these lovely quality merino bodysuits to our Deluxe Sleepwear range. These long-sleeved bodysuits can be layered under a zipsuit or onesie and a swaddle or sleeping bag for nighttime sleep or layered with a singletsuit, jumper and leggings for a cosy daytime outfit. Our customers love how soft this Merino range is and how stretchy the fit is - great for cloth nappy users.

Why do we love Merino so much? Known as the 'miracle fibre' for infant sleep, Merino wool is a naturally temperature-regulating and moisture-wicking fibre. It will help keep your baby warm in winter and cool in the warmer months without waking up clammy. Merino can naturally lock away odours, releasing them when washed or aired which can mean less washing... yay! Merino is also naturally fire retardant. Of course, we recommend keeping your children well away from any heaters and fires ("a metre from the heater!") but Merino is a naturally low fire danger fabric.

About our sizing

Our own brand garments follow the Australasian standard AS1182-1997 for sizing and are made with room to grow. Our Size 2 clothing for example is made to fit the standard’s average sized 2.5 year old comfortably.

Tips on how to measure your child

Length - Measure from the centre back of the neck line to the base of the crotch in a straight line.

Chest - Place tape measure under the arms and measure around the chest at the fullest part until your fingers meet.

Arm - With arms down by the side and relaxed, measure from the wrist to the top of the arm before the shoulder curve. If you are unsure where the true shoulder curve starts, then gently place your flat hand (or another flat item like a ruler) on the shoulder and measure up to this point.

Please note - Measurements are taken when garments are laid flat. Areas such as chest, waist and hips are calculated at twice the width to get the full measurement.

How to Use

- Bodysuits are great for layering day or night. Combine with a onesie or zipsuit for night time or layer with a jumper and leggings during the day.

Materials & Care

Materials

Merino sleeping bags, bedding, swaddles and clothing are easy to care for when following the correct guidelines. Please see our care instructions included with your garment.

Fabric	100% Australian Merino Wool (220gsm) Woolmark Extra Fine - 19.5 Microns Certified STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX
Washing	Gentle machine or hand wash in cold or 30°C water with liquid wool wash
Drying	Dry immediately - lay flat or hang dry

Care for your merino

As with many wool garments, you may experience a bit of pilling on this garment. Please note this is often due to a soft fibre such as merino rubbing against other fabrics, such as flannelette sheets. We consider pilling a normal part of wear and tear on a soft merino garment. We could have treated the fabric much more to reduce pilling but then it would lose its lovely, snuggly softness.

Please take care with moths

Protect your Merino from small holes created by insects such as moths and silverfish. Ensure your garments are clean before storing. Lavender and Cedar wood are noxious to these pests so storing your garments with these scents or a moth trap will help protect your knitwear further.

Love your Merino and it will love you back!

What are the major differences between The Sleep Store Merino garments?

Jersey Merino

The jersey merino is super smooth and soft, feels like high quality t-shirt fabric and has a comfortable stretch to it - not as much as the deluxe merino rib. Great for all year round and is the lightest of the three types at 200gsm. Good for summer babies.

Deluxe Merino Rib

This is a rib knit merino meaning it's structure is made up of rows of stitching. This gives this merino a really beautiful stretch with cross grain elasticity. It is so soft and great for all year round at 220gsm.

Deluxe Merino Fleece

The most fluffy fleecy softness on the inside, with a sweatshirt look on the outside, and most definitely the warmest of them all at 360gsm.
