Why Merino Pyjamas Are the Secret to Better Sleep

Spoiler alert: it’s your pyjamas. And not just any PJs—Merino wool pajamas.

Merino wool isn’t your average wool. It’s ultra-fine, incredibly soft, and nothing like the scratchy stuff you might remember from childhood jumpers. Here’s why it stands out:

• Temperature regulation: Keeps you warm when it’s cool, and cool when it’s warm.
• Moisture-wicking: No more waking up sweaty—Merino pulls moisture away from your skin.
• Odour-resistant: Naturally antibacterial, so you stay fresher for longer.
• Hypoallergenic: Recommended by dermatologists for sensitive skin.

Unlike clingy thermals or synthetics that trap heat, Sleepy Merino’s wool pyjamas are made with the perfect weight of fabric for sleep. They’re not too heavy, not too light—just right for year-round comfort. Plus, they move with you, not against you, offering a relaxed fit that feels comfy, even your pajama bottoms.

What sets Sleepy Merino apart isn’t just the fabric—it’s the story behind it. Our founder, Julie, is a Merino wool grower from Inverell, NSW. Every piece is made right here in Australia, using wool grown on our family farm, and other regenerative Aussie farms. That’s true farm-to-bedroom authenticity.

"We don’t just wear Merino, we live it."

Still unsure? You can try Sleepy Merino sleepwear with our 30 Day Sleep Comfort Guarantee. If you’re not sleeping better, send it back. We’ll even compost it on the farm.

When choosing pajamas that actually help you sleep better, look for:

1. Natural materials – like 100% Merino wool.
2. Made for sleep, not just lounging.
3. Australian-made quality – support local, sleep better.

Sleepy Merino ticks all three.

1. Are Merino wool pajamas too hot for summer? Not at all. Merino naturally adapts to your body temperature, keeping you cool when it’s hot and warm when it’s not.

2. What if I’m allergic to wool? Merino wool is hypoallergenic and much gentler than traditional wool. Merino is recommended by dermatologists for eczema.

3. Can I machine wash Sleepy Merino pajamas? Yes! They’re pre-shrunk and easy-care. Just follow the instructions on the label.

4. Are these pajamas unisex? We have tailored options for men and women, but the relaxed fit makes many styles suitable for all.

5. Where are Sleepy Merino products made? Every piece is designed, grown, and made in Australia—from our family farm to your front door.
