TOG table for baby sleeping bags and sleeping bags with feet from Slumbersac

What is TOG?

Choosing the right sleeping bag for your baby is crucial for their comfort and safety. At Slumbersac, we offer a range of sleeping bags with different TOG ratings, designed to suit various room temperatures. In this blog, we'll explain what TOG ratings mean, why they matter, and how our sleeping bags meet the highest safety standards.

What is a TOG Rating?

TOG, short for Thermal Overall Grade, measures the thermal insulation of a sleeping bag. This rating helps parents select the appropriate sleeping bag for their baby, ensuring they remain comfortably warm without overheating.

Slumbersac TOG Options

At Slumbersac, we provide four TOG ratings for our baby and toddler sleeping bags:

0.5 TOG: Ideal for room temperatures above 24°C. These sleeping bags have no padding, making them perfect for hot summer nights.

1.0 TOG: Suitable for room temperatures between 18°C and 24°C. Lightly padded, these are great for warm but not overly hot conditions.

2.5 TOG: Best for room temperatures between 15°C and 21°C. These sleeping bags have standard padding, making them versatile for most of the year.

3.5 TOG: Designed for room temperatures below 18°C. Thickly padded, these are ideal for keeping your baby warm during the colder months.

Importance of BS 8510:2009 Standard

The British Standard BS 8510:2009 outlines the safety requirements and testing methods for baby sleeping bags. This standard ensures that sleeping bags prevent overheating and provide adequate warmth, eliminating the need for additional bedding.
