Better sleep in merino wool – proven benefits for your baby

Merino wool isn't just soft—it's scientifically proven to be better for babies. From falling asleep faster to better temperature regulation and even fewer eczema symptoms: discover why more and more parents are choosing natural merino wool over synthetic or cotton materials.

Fall asleep faster

In a study from the University of Sydney, participants fell asleep an average of 4 minutes faster in merino wool pajamas than in cotton, and 11 minutes faster than in polyester ( Nature and Science of Sleep ).

More deep sleep

At cool temperatures (17°C), merino wool provided a higher percentage of deep sleep (%N3) than cotton, which is crucial for babies' brain development.

Better weight gain

According to a study published in The Lancet (1983), premature babies fed lambswool gained an average of 22.7 grams per day, compared to 18.6 g fed cotton ( see study ).

Less eczema and itching

Superfine merino wool is even suitable for babies with eczema. Clinical studies show a significant improvement in eczema symptoms in children wearing merino wool ( British Journal of Dermatology ).

Temperature and moisture regulating

Merino wool breathes, insulates, and wicks away moisture. It can absorb up to 35% of its weight in moisture without feeling wet. This keeps your baby warm and dry, without the risk of overheating.

Safe, natural and sustainable

Merino wool is renewable, biodegradable, and naturally flame-retardant. No synthetic additives, just maximum softness and safety from day one.
