Details
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 baby gowns to our range.
These are perfect for wearing inside a swaddle or small sleeping bag, easy to use with an envelope neck and wide bottom with drawstring for easy nappy changing. The fabric washes beautifully and feels soft and comfy.
The extra fine single jersey merino is finer, incredibly soft to touch, super smooth and has a comfortable stretch to it. As with all our merino it is sure to retain it's beautiful shape. It is beautifully lightweight and packed with all the amazing properties of merino.
The
colours in this range are divine and can be matched back to our
zipsuits, wraps and more. They feature adorable Sleep Store exclusive
prints designed by both our in-house design team and local fabric
designers.
We know some babies can get irritated by itchy fabric care labels, so
our amazing production team have thoughtfully placed the care label on
the side seam away from the neck area. It is a satin label which is
super soft and small providing extra comfort for your baby. The beautiful NZ merino, unisex pieces make the perfect
gifts for new parents or parents-to-be. They are lovingly packed in an organic cotton organza drawstring
bag with tissue paper ready for gifting.
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 warm in winter but also cool in the warmer months without waking up clammy. It has the ability to naturally lock away odours, releasing them when washed or aired - this 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.

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!
