Fabric and feel
Both brands use a 95% bamboo viscose, 5% spandex blend, so you get the soft, stretchy feel bamboo pajamas are known for. The Sleepy Sloth's zippies and two-piece sets are made from SnuggleSoft™, our custom-milled bamboo (220 GSM). It's a substantial weight that still breathes, made for play: crawling, climbing and everyday adventures. It's made to stay soft wash after wash and hold up through every growth spurt. Bamboo is naturally breathable and temperature regulating, so it helps keep little ones cozy in colder months and comfortable in warmer ones.
"The quality of these pjs is also so amazing, it has held up through so many washes and is lasting as my son grows."
★★★★★ Lexi B., verified buyer
"So cozy and stretchy to fit for much longer than regular pjs."
★★★★★ Hilary, verified buyer
Sizing and how long a size lasts
The Sleepy Sloth's smallest size is Teenie, our preemie size. Fold-over hand and foot cuffs mean one size lasts longer: cuffed while they're small, uncuffed as they grow. Smaller sizes last a few months on average, and our 6/12 can last up to a year for an average growing baby. Little Sleepies zippies go up to 3T and its two-piece sets go up to size 16, so it offers bigger kids' sizes. The Sleepy Sloth's two-piece sets go up to 12/14.
Licensed characters
The Sleepy Sloth carries some of the biggest names in kids' TV, including PAW Patrol™ (with prints from PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie) and SpongeBob SquarePants™, plus The World of Eric Carle™ (The Very Hungry Caterpillar™), Numberblocks™, Blue's Clues & You!™, Pete the Cat™, Monster Jam™ and TMNT™, and Mean Girls™ for the grown-ups. Both brands carry PAW Patrol™. Little Sleepies' licensed prints include Disney, Bluey, Harry Potter and Marvel in the US, but its Disney and Bluey prints are not sold in Canada. For Canadian families who want a character print, that makes The Sleepy Sloth's lineup the one you can actually order.
Matching the whole family
Both brands sell the same print in baby, kids, women's and men's sizes, with pet bandanas too. At The Sleepy Sloth, most prints also come as blankets and bedding, so the whole house can match for holiday photos. Twin-size quilted blankets mean grown-ups can stay cozy too, and crib sheets and twin fitted sheets carry the print right into the bedroom.
Shopping from Canada
This is the biggest difference for Canadian families. The Sleepy Sloth ships Canadian orders from our Canadian warehouse, priced in CAD with no duties at the door, and free shipping over $100 CAD. Little Sleepies ships from Indiana, lists Canadian prices in CAD, and notes that customers are responsible for any duties and customs charges. For one pair of zippy pajamas, that means $52 CAD at Little Sleepies against $44 CAD at The Sleepy Sloth: $8 more before any duties or customs charges are added.
Returns
Both brands offer 30-day returns in the US. The difference is in Canada: Little Sleepies lists all international orders, including Canadian ones, as final sale. At The Sleepy Sloth, Canadian orders get the same 30-day returns as everyone else, so if a size doesn't fit, you're not stuck with it. The easiest way to swap a size is to order the size you need and return the other within 30 days. Blankets, bedding and sleep sacks are final sale.
Which should you choose?
Choose The Sleepy Sloth if you're in Canada and want CAD pricing with no duties, or love characters like PAW Patrol™, SpongeBob SquarePants™, The Very Hungry Caterpillar™, Numberblocks™ or Mean Girls™, or want matching pajamas, quilted blankets and crib or twin sheets in one print. Little Sleepies is a great fit if you're in the US and want Disney or Bluey prints, or need sizes past 12/14 for older kids, or a 0.5 TOG sleep sack.
