Waffle Sleeper - Denim Blue

Mid-tone denim blue, solid.

Waffle-weave TENCEL™ footie sleeper. Same fiber as the smooth-weave sleeper, different surface — the waffle structure traps small air pockets across the fabric, which is why it feels warmer than its weight and breathes better than a flat-knit at the same weight.

Material. TENCEL™ Lyocell in a waffle weave, with spandex for stretch. Wood-pulp fiber that Lenzing produces in a closed-loop process — 99% of the water and solvents get recycled back through the production line. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified. The waffle does the air-pocket work. The spandex handles the shoulder-stretch problem at 7:30 p.m. when you're getting a sleepy baby's arm through. Softer than cotton, smoother than bamboo rayon, and the waffle holds its texture through fifty wash cycles without flattening into a regular knit.

The print. Mid-tone denim blue solid with a slight texture. Sits well alongside wood and white, reads as workwear, washes like a t-shirt.

Construction. Footie sleeper. Fold-over hand cuffs (newborns) that fold back as the baby grows. 2-way zipper that opens from the bottom for diaper changes without unzipping past the chest. Reinforced seams at the shoulder and crotch — the stress points on a sleeper that gets pulled on and off twice a day. Tagless inside the neck. The waffle structure is built to handle the dryer without flattening for the first hundred cycles — the loft is structural, not just texture.

When to choose waffle over smooth. The smooth sleeper is the everyday workhorse. The waffle is the one that gets photographed and the one that gets requested by name. Same warmth, more visual texture, slightly different hand. Most households end up owning both.

Adjacent products. Pair with the matching 1.0 TOG TENCEL™ Sleep Bag for a coordinated sleep set. For toddlers walking confidently in the crib, the 1.0 TOG sleepsuit is the next step.

Sizing. 0–3M, 3–6M, 6–9M, 9–12M, 12–18M, 18–24M. Size to current measurement. A sleeper that's too long puts the foot of the suit past the actual foot, which is a trip hazard once the baby starts crawling.

Care. Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. Do not bleach. Do not iron printed panels. The fold-over cuffs are designed to be stretched and released a few thousand times without losing shape.

Compliance. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 on the fabric, CPSC/CPSIA/ASTM on the garment, AAP safe-sleep guidance on the design. Loulou Lollipop is a Certified B Corporation — a third-party audit of how we treat people and the planet, not a self-claim.
