Merino Capsule Collection

Merino Capsule Collection

From first moments to first birthday

Our latest Merino Capsule collection is available in size options from Prem to 1 year.

In those early days of life they are delicate and need extra care, especially during their first weeks. Dress them in gentle clothes that are kind to their sensitive skin such as cotton and a good quality merino which is soft and fine.

At The Sleep Store we believe that sleep, comfort and wellbeing go hand in hand with the use of natural fibres. We know the importance of investing in well-made, high-quality essentials that fit comfortably and can withstand multiple nappy changes, and the general rigors and wear-and-tear of baby life.

 


The Singletsuit

Providing comfort, a snug and secure fit and practicality. Our singletsuits are carefully designed by us to local NZ and Australian sizing expectations and years of customer feedback. Their 100% Merino composition allows for natural stretch and movement in the fabric, the jersey knit having the feel of a quality t-shirt fabric.

Like our bodysuits they also offer versatility for different weather and temperature conditions, allowing for easy layering with other clothing items day and night. Additionally, they come in a simple choice of 2 colours with options of prints.

 


The Bodysuit

Our soft and gentle merino bodysuits with their multi-purpose use make them a core element of a baby’s clothing essentials. Designed for easy dressing (and undressing) the reinforced snap closures at the bottom, eliminate the need to fully undress the baby during nappy and outfit changes.

Our Merino bodysuit provides warmth and insulation, which is crucial for newborns who have limited ability to regulate their body temperature. Whether it’s during colder seasons or in air-conditioned rooms, a bodysuit acts as an extra layer to keep the baby comfortably warm. with fold-over cuffs to enclose tiny hands for extra cosiness.

 


Swaddle/Blanket

For over 15 years we’ve been perfecting the perfect swaddle blanket. A swaddle blanket is a multi-purpose baby essential that can be used both as a swaddle for a newborn and also as a blanket if needed. Our capsule collection swaddle blanket is the perfect size for both - large (without being too big) and with enough natural stretch to swaddle wrap snuggly and securely. Light and easy to use as a blanket, with a size which can be tucked in to the sides of the cot or bassinet, fold in half to double the layers for extra warmth. Remember to follow safe sleep advice when using blankets, which you can find on The Sleep Store website.

The capsule collection Merino swaddle blanket in Sage and Vanilla colour with matching prints is 180gsm of extra fine merino. Use it at home, or out and about in the stroller.

 


The Beanie

Our beanie is designed as daywear when baby is active and can benefit from naturally temperature regulating and soft extra fine Merino.

We’re strong advocates of following safe sleep guidelines so we don’t recommend using any hat or headwear for baby’s sleep.

We’ve designed our hat for comfort with hidden seams and natural stretch. It’s OSFM (One size fits Most) 0-6mths sizing suits babies best around 2-4 months old.

 


The Booties

Our Merino booties are soft and gentle with hidden inside seams at the toe which help to stop them snagging on a baby’s fine toenails. Comfort for sensitive baby skin is important for booties too, and making them from Merino wool allows them to be breathable and allows moisture to escape.

Like the beanie, our booties are made as day wear rather than for sleepy time, and tend to fit best around the 2-6 months stage. The wool fibres also have a natural elasticity, allowing for comfortable fit around the baby’s feet.

 


The Gown

Our gowns make the perfect ‘base’ layer when worn under sleeping bags and swaddles, providing a luxurious softness and lightweight comfort that is gentle on sensitive skin. The fold-over scratch mittens help to keep hands cosy.

Designed with an envelope neck, our gowns are hassle-free to put on, effortlessly slipping over a newborn’s head. When it’s time for a change, you can conveniently remove the gown by slipping the arms out and pulling it down over the hips and legs, ensuring no messy situations go over the baby’s head.

Provide your little one with a cozy and comfortable clothing option that is not only practical but also designed with their well-being in mind.

 


The Sleeping Bag

Sleeping bags are a better alternative to loose bedding and blankets that can pose safe sleep risks and get kicked off easily. For the Capsule Collection we brought over 15 years of sleeping bag expertise and craftsmanship to the Side-zip sleeping bag. Suitable from use from newborn (4kg) to 9mths, the side-zip sleeping bag is made from 2 layers of 180gsm extra fine Merino (360gsm in total).

For the Capsule collection sleeping bag we chose to offer a 2-layer extra fine merino sleeping bag for comfort, cosiness and versatility.

Like all the other pieces in the Capsule Collection they are Woolmark certified and OEKOTEX Standard 100 tested.
