Beautiful bed socks

I’m absolutely delighted with my wool bed socks - in the past I’ve only worn cashmere but got frustrated by the fact they didn’t stay soft for long despite careful washing. I bought two sets of Pairs in orange and brown. They handwash beautifully, and stay soft and roomy for the perfect night’s sleep - and excellent value. Have ordered two more pairs.

Summer socks…

I've been looking and trying various socks from other companies especially for the summer. These merino calf length seems to fit the bill as they are soft and comfortable. We shall see how hard wearing they are but an easy 9 rating so far and I'm really pleased the elastic doesn't cut my leg off as some others do. Need to buy some more. Thank you Pairs

FAQs

What are the benefits of wearing merino wool socks?

Our merino socks are breathable and moisture-wicking and because merino wool resists odour, you can wear them more than once between washes - a small win for both convenience and sustainability.

Are merino wool socks itchy?

No. High-quality merino wool socks are soft, breathable, and comfortable against the skin. Unlike traditional coarse wool, fine fibres reduce irritation and are suitable for everyday wear.

Are merino wool socks good for warm weather?

Yes. Merino wool socks are ideal for warm weather because merino wool is breathable and temperature-regulating. Lightweight merino wool socks wick moisture away from the skin, helping keep feet cool, dry and comfortable in summer.

Where are Pairs merino wool socks made?

Our merino wool everyday socks and merino wool bed socks are spun in a trusted family-run mill in Portugal.

Can merino wool be worn everyday?

Yes. These are the perfect, lightweight everyday sock.

Are your merino wool socks sustainable?

Yes, sustainability is important to us. We source our merino wool responsibly, supporting farms and mills that share our respect for craftsmanship and environmental care. Every fibre is OEKO-TEX certified, ensuring consumer safety and transparency.

Which everyday fibre do I need, bamboo or merino?

Choose bamboo for softness, breathability and everyday comfort; it’s excellent in warm weather, for playing sports in or all-day wear. Merino wool is ideal if you want temperature regulation and extra insulation. Both fibres wick moisture well.
