The Sleep Store Deluxe Merino Long Sleeve Bodysuit is a beautifully cosy base layer you can rely on. Designed for day or night wear, this bodysuit offers premium warmth, softness, and stretch, making it ideal for layering through winter and cooler months.

Made from 100% New Zealand Merino Wool rib knit fabric, this bodysuit feels wonderfully soft and snuggly against delicate skin. The rib construction gives it excellent stretch, allowing the fabric to gently “hug” your baby for a snug, comfortable fit that still allows freedom of movement. This stretch also makes it easier to get on and off wriggly little bodies, and it’s a favourite for cloth nappy users thanks to the flexible, accommodating fit.

Part of The Sleep Store’s Deluxe Merino Sleepwear range, this bodysuit is ideal for layering. Use it under a zipsuit or onesie with a swaddle or sleeping bag for night-time sleep, or pair it with a singletsuit, jumper, and leggings for a cosy daytime outfit. It has an envelope neckline and 3 press studs at the crotch making changes a breeze. Available sizing from newborn to size 2, in a range of soft colours.

At The Sleep Store, we’re passionate about helping children sleep better, and merino plays a big role in that. Often called the “miracle fibre”, merino is naturally temperature regulating, moisture wicking, odour resistant, and even naturally fire retardant. It helps children stay warm in winter, cool in warmer conditions, and comfortable without waking up clammy – all with the added bonus of needing less frequent washing.

About the Deluxe Merino Range
The Sleep Store Deluxe Merino range is designed to deliver superior warmth, comfort, and durability for growing babies, toddlers, and children. Made from luscious 220gsm, 100% merino rib fabric, this range is thicker, warmer, and more hard-wearing than many alternatives on the market. Naturally temperature regulating and breathable, Deluxe Merino helps keep little bodies cosy in winter without overheating as they move and play. Soft, stretchy, and made to last, it’s the perfect layering range for better sleep and everyday warmth.

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 cedarwood 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 wool garments?

Basics Merino 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 option. 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.
