Each Snug Organics sherpa sleeper is made using top-quality organic cotton fabrics for durability, longevity and comfort. However, these garments need the proper care to maximize use and to maintain the original look and fit. We recommend machine washing in cold water and line drying (you may also machine dry on low.) Conventional cotton apparel is generally treated with finishing chemicals to reduce the shrinkage effects of heat. Organic cotton is not treated, so high heat will cause it to shrink a bit. Using an eco-friendly laundry detergent with vinegar as a fabric softener will further help to maintain the integrity of the garment. For stains use an oxygen bleach, such as BioClean or OxyClean. Organic cotton will absorb chemicals in ordinary detergents. Investing in an organic cotton garment and then laundering it in a chemical pool defeats the purpose. Commercial detergents also contribute to skin and respiratory conditions in children.
Our sleepwear is snug-fitting because it’s the law. CFR 1516/1616 states that children’s sleepwear must be flame-resistant or snug-fitting. In order to offer customers a natural fiber without chemicals or a high percentage of synthetics like polyester, we must comply with the snug-fit measurements put into place by the CPSC. Although it may be necessary to size up for some children, you can be certain that your child is safe in our sleepwear. Our sherpa sleepers somewhat behave like a new pair of jeans. They stretch and mold to the body for a super comfortable fit. We have also been told that some kiddos love the secure feeling that this fit provides.
