What our experts say...
When receiving this product I noticed instantly the thoughtful and ethical packaging. I particularly loved seeing the use of the thread of wool to attach the products tag to the sleeping bag. Merineo included details on the brand’s story, the benefits of wool and how to use the sleep bag – keeping me as the user very informed. The colour tone is beautifully neutral and the fabric so so soft!
This business does everything they can to support Australia and Australians. I appreciate them doing as much as they can to work with local businesses without offshoring.

Love the soft and cool merino wool touch. Even though my baby is usually warm, it kept her happy and comfortable the whole night. All the details are thoughtfully designed and I love the practicality of the bag.
The product is great and all the small details are thoughtfully crafted. Love the initiatives and use of local resources and makers.

Made from the softest, ethically sourced merino wool, this beautiful sleeping bag is cool enough for summer, due to its breathable natural fibres and yet cosy enough to also be used in the transition seasons too. I love that it is made in Melbourne and the founder is a wool farmer in Victoria and provides the wool direct to the mill, where the fabric is purchased from. A gorgeous soft and cosy, lightweight sleeping bag.
