    Hi
    Thanks for posting, however I do not see how this is a good deal? Sleeping Bag Special Offer Price: £89.90 for 2!
    Even at half price its exxtortion imho. Me and all my friends and family use www.designerkidsandbaby.co.uk, great pruducts, value for money and perfect service every time. Its 24.99 for 2 on their special offer and not much more if you order seperateky.

    There was a spelling mistake in your link, this ones goes through.

    As Ultracheap said, the Bambino Merino ones are great. They have a heavy weight outer cotton layer and an inner Merino wool layer. Whatever the temperature, they are usable. Sure enough you can get cheaper ones. Until I bought the bambino merino ones, these were what we used, but the merino wool ones are just so much nicer. These wash really well... several months of use on, they still look new.

    You pays your money and makes your choice! I liked these so much I went back and bought some more for my sisters children....and now they have bought more because they like them so much!

    But the point of my post is that they have a clearance at £29.95/bag which is much less than your quote.... Still more expensive than the ones you use, but then these are made from natural breathable fibres instead of polyester wadding and a polyester shell.

    I searched for months to find the right wool sleepsack. I looked for sales and discounts on wool sleep sacks for over six months and finally was able to buy my Bambino Merinos for £35 awhile back.

    Others are sold at Cambridge Baby, or at Merino Go Go (which I have just noticed is selling 2x merino sleeping bags for £59.95). The Bambino Merino and Merino Go Go sleep sacks are large enough for the child to grow and last until the child is 2 years of age, so great value and perhaps they will make an excellent hand-me-down to the next little one.

    I also dress my little one in silk/wool body vests from Cambridge Baby. Sure, they are expensive, but I purchased a few sizes larger so that my little one can wear them for the next year or so (he is a size 74 and I purchased a size 98/104 which he fits just fine with room to grow). Because they are wool, it isn't necessary to wash these daily unlike the cotton equivelent, which means that I only had to purchase four. They keep his body warm and his temperature regulated so that he doesn't get too hot or too cold. If I opted for the cotton equivelent, I would end up spending just as much on body suits over the next year, so I feel like this is an excellent investment.

    Any other wool converts out there?
