Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Baby Sleeping Bags

We answer the most important questions about our baby sleeping bags:

Why should babies sleep in sleeping bags?

A sleeping bag is part of the basic equipment for newborns. When sleeping, a baby likes to kick and roll around in bed. A sleeping bag always stays in place and still offers plenty of freedom of movement It surrounds your darling with cozy warmth and the little legs and feet are always well wrapped up. Sleeping bags also ensure a optimal body temperature and provide protection against overheating or cooling .

Which baby sleeping bag size is right for my child?

You can find detailed information on the right size in our guide to “ baby sleeping bag size ”. However, you can use the following formulas to roughly determine the right sleeping bag size in two different forms:

  • pear-shaped sleeping bag : Shoulder height + 10 cm = guideline for the sleeping bag length
  • sleeping bag with feet : Body height – head length = suitable sleeping bag size

    A suitable neckline and armhole and a close-fitting cut are also important. The motto is: Grow out of it, not grow into it!

Which sleeping bag is recommended at which temperature?

We at Sterntaler offer you different sleeping bag shapes with different TOG values: The TOG value describes the thermal resistance of textiles: the higher the TOG value, the warmer the sleeping bag. This means that every sleeping bag is suitable for different room temperatures and seasons.

These are our sleeping bag recommendations for different temperatures:

  • Sleeping bags for summer temperatures : 0.5–1.5 TOG
  • Sleeping bags for winter temperatures : 2–3.5 TOG

    Of course, temperatures can vary considerably at different times of the year – so just test which sleeping bag is comfortable for your little one.

Baby sleeping bag with or without sleeves – which is better?

We present both sleeping bag variants and their features and advantages:

Sleeping bag without sleeves

A sleeping bag without sleeves regulates the temperature optimally and provides reliable warmth during the night: your little one will sleep warm and safe in it.

Sleeping bag with sleeves

A sleeping bag with sleeves is also very versatile: in winter, the padded sleeves ensure that your baby's arms do not get cold. In the transitional period, you can simply remove them thanks to a Velcro fastener.

However, the most important factors are the thickness of the sleeping bag and the clothing of the little one. In addition to the room temperature, you should always pay attention to your child's body temperature and how warm they feel in order to choose the best sleeping bag. If it gets too cold, you can simply dress your child a little warmer under the sleeping bag. We advise you on what your little one should wear under the sleeping bag on our page " Baby sleeping bag – what to wear underneath ?”.
