Sleep well with merino
Wearing merino can do wonders for your sleep health.
Did you know that wearing merino to bed can actually improve your quality of sleep? Here’s what we know about this:
“The latest study conducted by researchers at The University of Sydney has found adults wearing wool sleepwear fell asleep in just 12 minutes compared with 22 and 27 minutes for those wearing polyester and cotton” (The Woolmark Company).
As we all know, wool helps your regulate body temperature. This keeps your body in what is known as ‘the thermal comfort zone’ for longer, which helps you fall asleep quicker and also have deeper sleep (The Woolmark Company).
A research paper published in the journal Nature and Science of Sleep (2016) said that a group from a study fell asleep in 11 minutes on average wearing merino wool versus 15 minutes on average in cotton (The Woolmark Company).
As a result of merino’s plethora of benefits (breathable, moisture-wicking, and temperature regulating), studies have shown that babies who either wear merino wool or use a merino blanket for sleep get better quality sleep. As babies are learning to regulate their own temperature for the first time, merino provides comfort and promotes a good night’s rest.
This year we launched our very first pair of merino pajamas and loungewear sets. Check them out:
Twilight Knit Pajama Pant: Your classic pajama pant silhouette with a wide waistband and cotton drawstring for security and ultimate comfort. These PJ’s have the silkiest hand feel, and keep your temperature regulated as you sleep. Pairs with the Morgan V-neck Tee.
“Silky smooth and keeps me warm in the coldest months! I needed to replace some old PJs and got these the day they came out. My bedroom doesn’t keep heat well overnight so I wear these wool bottoms on the coldest days and I can tell they keep me warmer than the cotton ones I previously had! The handfeel is so luxurious and soft; well worth the investment. No pilling to speak of, even with daily wear. I have 31” waist and 39” hips and the medium fits perfectly. The elastic feels like a soft hug around the waist!”
Morgan V-neck Tee : Your semi-fitted v-neck tee for casual styling. Made with our favorite 78/22 blend for extra durability and easy care. Pairs with the Twilight Knit Pajama Pant.
Aspen Sweatshirt: Your ideal merino sweatshirt for layering year-round. The lofty French terry fabric structure works to evaporate moisture off your skin, keeping you both dry and comfy on your most active days. Semi-fitted, raglan sleeves, and crew neckline with ribbed trim. Designed to match with our Aspen Jogger Pants.
Aspen Jogger: Your coziest merino lounge pants. They have a modern jogger fit, but are soft enough to comfortably sleep in, with ribbed trim and front inseam pockets. Designed to match with our Aspen Sweatshirt.
“You need (or is it really a want) these...They are so comfortable, I could do a 365 day challenge in them. They were great for in the plane, sight seeing in the rain, a hockey game, pajama pants. It almost made me wish that I was still teaching via Zoom so I could wear them to work. The fabric reminds me of the Sierra fabric, and it feels very durable. I did size up one size from my regular wool& bottom size for a more relaxed fit.”
