Details
Made from a beautiful blend of 70% merino wool and 30% Tencel, this fabric is lightweight yet incredibly cosy. It feels silky smooth against delicate skin, making it especially suitable for babies with sensitivities. Merino’s natural temperature-regulating properties help keep little ones warm without overheating, meaning this zipsuit works just as well as a base layer in cooler months as it does on its own when the weather is milder.
The footed style keeps tiny toes warm without the need for socks, while fold-over mittens help prevent accidental scratches and add extra warmth when needed. A full length zip makes dressing and nappy changes quicker and easier, especially overnight. A zip guard at the neck adds peace of mind by protecting delicate skin from accidental snags.

Care for your Wool
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 wool rubbing against other fabrics, such as flannelette sheets. We consider pilling a normal part of wear and tear on a soft merino wool 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 Wool 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.
What are the major differences between The Sleep Store Merino Wool garments?
Our entry level 100% Merino Wool. At 190gsm it is the lightest weight of our 100% merino wool offerings but not as fine (or silky smooth to touch) as our Deluxe Rib or Jersey Merino. It is a great affordable and durable option.
All Seasons Merino Tencel
This is an everyday collection made from a 70% Merino Wool / 30% Tencel. The Jersey blend fabric has a silky, cool feel, and is the lightest Merino wool blend option at 165gsm. The Tencel blend makes it great for wearing all year round and ideal for sensitive skin.
Jersey Merino
Made from 100% New Zealand merino wool, it is super smooth and soft. It feels like high-quality t-shirt fabric and has a comfortable stretch - not as much as the Deluxe Merino rib. Great for layering all year round at 200gsm.
Deluxe Merino Rib
Made from 100% New Zealand merino wool, this range uses a rib knit merino wool, meaning its structure consists of rows of stitching. This gives this merino wool a beautiful stretch with cross-grain elasticity. It is so soft and great all year round at 220gsm.
Fleece Merino Tencel
Super warm at 270gsm, ideal for cold nights and Wintry days. Made from a blend of 68% Merino Wool, 29% Tencel and 3% Elastane, this range is super soft and fluffy on the inside with a sweatshirt feel on the outside.
Premium mid-weight Merino
A beautiful soft and thick 100% Merino Wool interlock which allows for comfortable stretch whilst retaining shape. A lovely warm option, at 250gsm it is our warmest 100% merino options. This is our only 100% merino that is available in prints.
Merino Knitwear
Crafted from 100% merino wool. Comes in 3 different stitch patterns depending on the garment - seed stitch, classic stitch and brioche stitch.
