Product Description

Details

The Sleep Store Jersey Merino Leggings are a versatile layer which can be used by babies or children day or night. Made from extra fine 100% single jersey Merino, the leggings have a delicious tee shirt-type feel. They are soft and smooth, with a comfortable stretch and will retain their beautiful shape. These 100% merino leggings are suitable for younger babies, right through to primary school-aged children.

These full-length leggings are super soft and have a wide waistband for comfort. The waistband can be rolled down or pulled up for extra comfort and room as your child grows. Use these leggings as day wear for younger babies or layer with a bodysuit and swaddle or sleeping bag for nighttime sleepwear. Toddlers and older children can wear these leggings as a base layer during the day or as sleepwear at night. Mix and match these merino leggings with a long-sleeve jersey merino top or bodysuit to create your favourite colour combo.

At The Sleep Store, we are passionate about helping new babies, children and parents sleep better, which is why we've developed our exclusive range of 100% Merino clothing and sleepwear. Layers of Merino are an essential tool in helping children sleep better during the cooler months and our range of merino separates offers versatility for a widerange of ages and stages.

Why do we love Merino so much? Known as the 'miracle fibre' when it comes to infant sleep, Merino wool is a naturally temperature-regulating and moisture-wicking fibre. It will help to keep baby or child warm in winter, but also cool in the warmer months without waking up clammy. Merino has the ability to 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.

Please note - this is for the Leggings only. Please see Jersey Merino Long Sleeve Top to create a set.

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

Waist - Measure around the natural waist bringing the tape measure round until your fingers meet. Young children often don’t have defined waists so if you are unsure how to locate this, get your child to bend to one side to find the natural crease of the waistline. Be careful not to squeeze the tape too tight and allow a little give when measuring.

Inside leg - With a flat foot, measure from the heel of the foot, up the inside of the leg to the crotch. Inside leg may sometimes be referred to as the inseam.

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

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 card included with your garment.

Fabric	100% Australian Single Jersey Merino Wool (200gsm) 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.
