Frequently Asked Questions

The Australian Made, Australian Grown logo is administered by Australian Made Campaign Limited (AMCL), a not-for-profit public company established in 1999 by the Australian Chamber of Commerce & Industry (ACCI) and the network of state and territory chambers of commerce, with the cooperation of the Federal Government.

Shopping for Australian made and Australian grown products can seem pretty confusing, but it doesn’t have to be. Simply look for the famous green and gold Australian Made, Australian Grown kangaroo logo – it has been helping consumers for more than 25 years. The logo was launched by Bob Hawke in 1986 and for the first 10 years of its life was managed by the Advance Australia Foundation. These days it’s administered by Australian Made Campaign Limited (AMCL), a not-for-profit company, under contract from the Federal Government.

It’s a registered certification Trademark, with a strict set of rules (Code of Practice) governing how it can be used. Products must be registered with AMCL and must meet the criteria in the Code of Practice to use the logo.

It is important to Sleepy Dee as a brand and a company because we want to promote homegrown talent, support industries and jobs here in Australia but also because we have control over how our garments are made and the conditions within our factory. For more information please check out the Australian Made webpage.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SILK NIGHTWEAR?

From being more environmentally friendly, softer on skin and hair as well as reducing the effects of aging, there are so many reasons to make the switch to silk. Learn more here. 

WHAT TYPE OF SILK DOES SLEEPY DEE USE?

We pride ourselves on exclusively using the highest quality silks for all of our silk products — like the ultra-soft and durable, 22 momme Mulberry silk. Sourcing silk that has been produced in captivity is also better for the environment as it reduces the demand for maintenance pesticides and other harmful chemicals. 

WILL SILK PYJAMAS MAKE ME TOO HOT? 

Not at all! In fact, silk is a great choice for sweaty sleepers or those experiencing hot flashes as the material is known to help regulate your body temperature. Cotton will hold in heat whereas the natural properties and double-stranded fibres of silk will simultaneously keep you insulated while still allowing for breathability and freshness. 

DOES SILK RETAIN BACTERIA?

Silk has both hypoallergenic and antibacterial properties and unlike cotton, the material will prevent the growth of millions of bacteria and germs. Its tightly woven, natural fibres will also stop dust mites from breeding and deter sensitive skin triggers like mould and fungus. 

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I WASH MY SLEEPY DEE SILK GARMENTS?

Thanks to its hypoallergenic qualities, you can save water and wash your silk garments and bedding a little less frequently or as you feel is needed — just make sure that when you do you check the washing instructions.
