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.

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!
