Kids Base Layers and Thermal Wear

As a parent there is nothing more that we want than to keep our baby safe, warm and comfortable all day, and night sleep. This makes the selection of the right fabric a necessity. Your baby’s delicate skin needs more than merely softness. It needs natural breathability, excellent temperature regulation, and lasting comfort.

Merino wool, organic cotton blended with Merino wool, is a luxury replacement for synthetic fabrics. Soft to touch, strong and sustainable, Merino is a logical choice for families wanting the best when it comes to caring for each layer of clothing for their baby.

Why Merino Wool is the Perfect Choice for Your Baby?

Not all fabrics are created equal when it comes to dressing your baby. Their skin is thinner and more delicate, and they can’t efficiently regulate temperature within their bodies. It’s because of this that parents all over Australia are making use of Merino wool thermals as a natural solution that combines comfort, safety, and performance in every thread.

Natural, breathable & hypoallergenic

Merino wool is a miracle fibre. It’s naturally breathable and moisture-wicking, which helps regulate your baby’s body temperature. Even better, it’s hypoallergenic that perfect for babies with eczema, allergies, or sensitive skin.

Year-round comfort

Unlike traditional wool, Merino adapts to all seasons. It keeps your baby cosy in winter yet cool and dry in warmer months. This makes Merino thermals a smart investment wearable all year round.

Safe for newborns & infants

Australian Merino wool is ultra-fine, soft, and safe for newborns. There’s no itchiness just gentle, cloud-like comfort from day one.
