Product Information
Full details
The Steiff Sleep Well Bear in Grey is designed for newborns and parents seeking a gentle, classic teddy bear. Its key benefit is its ultra-soft fur, perfect for sensitive baby skin, and its timeless design. A slight caveat is that while neutral, the grey tones might be less visually stimulating for very young infants compared to brighter colors. This 25cm (10-inch) bear is part of Steiff's original and most popular baby range, featuring honey-colored fur, a gold-plated button in the ear, and removable cotton pyjamas with a subtle stripe pattern.

Troubleshooting
Bear seems misshapen after washing
Gently reshape the bear while it is still damp and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid wringing or machine drying.
Pyjamas are difficult to remove/put on
Ensure the bear is completely dry. The fabric may be slightly stiff initially but will loosen with use.
Gold-plated button ear feels loose
Inspect the attachment. If it appears loose, contact Steiff customer service or the retailer for guidance on repair or replacement, as this is a signature component.
