-- What inspires two moms to design a functional and versatile New Zealand
made merino and cotton baby sleeping bag??
Together Trina Parker and Sigi Schmitt have designed a sleeping bag for
their children made from Pure New Zealand Merino and pure cotton. It is
designed to meet the needs of busy mums who demand quality functional
products for their children. It also fills a gap in the market which
requires quality New Zealand made products, made from natural materials.

Their Lola & Ben® Sleeping Bag is designed to adapt with the seasons
featuring an interchangeable merino liner to change with the seasons. This
is a world’s first. It has been created for and vigorously tested by their
own children.
One sleeping bag will be well used and loved by babies for the first two
years of their lives - eliminating the need to buy sleeping bags for each
season as is sometimes the case with other products on the market.
These enterprising Pukekohe mums are passionate about New Zealand made
products. All Lola & Ben® products are made by skilled artisans an hour
south of Auckland, New Zealand. The Lola & Ben® range of New Zealand made
style for little ones is also proving popular with tourists who value
quality and genuinely New Zealand made products made from the pure & natural
fibres of cotton and New Zealand merino.
The Lola & Ben® Sleeping Bag is designed so the merino liner can be
separated from the cotton outer for washing. Merino is naturally stain
repellant so often an airing will suffice. Merino washing needs vary from
cotton’s therefore these can be catered for with the design of their
sleeping bag. Lola & Ben® Sleeping Bags combine the durability of cotton
with the versatility of the interchangeable merino liners.
Mums in the southern hemisphere are taking up on the baby sleeping bag
trend. In Europe they are considered the norm. Some medical professionals
are recommending natural fabric sleeping bags which may aid baby temperature
regulation and prevent baby from being trapped under blankets, which may be
a cause of SIDS. Trina & Sigi are vigilant on only using natural products
such as cotton and merino with their newborns, never polyester which doesn’t
breathe and can become too hot.
Another feature of this great product is the double ended zip feature of
the unique design enabling easy access for changing babies. With the
diagonal zip, it opens up flat, so it is easy to put baby into. While a baby
may wake in the night for many reasons, when using the Lola & Ben® sleeping
bag a baby won’t wake up through being cold as they can’t kick it off.
Lola & Ben® Sleeping Bags are available on

postage available.
