If you inform yourself about the first sleeping bag  for your child, you come into contact with the so-called "TOG value". But what does the TOG value actually mean?

TOG is a unit of measurement that thermal resistance of textiles 1 TOG is equal to 0.1 m² K/W. The higher the thermal resistance or the unit of measurement TOG, the warmer the sleeping bag. The correct TOG value depends on the room temperature in which your baby sleeps. The optimal room temperature is between 16–18 °C .

The TOG value for the optimal sleeping temperature

Manufacturers use the TOG system to help parents choose the right baby sleeping bag for the appropriate room temperature. However, this is only recommendations for parents. Because the TOG values ​​for sleeping bags always apply:

  • The thickness of the sleeping bag and the baby’s clothing are the room temperature and not to adapt to the season.

  • The room temperature can also vary greatly between day and night, regardless of the season.

In addition, you should keep in mind that everyone has a different sensation of warmth For example, your baby might feel more comfortable in a baby sleeping bag with a higher TOG value. To make sure that the sleeping bag and clothing are suitable for the room temperature and for your child, you should measure your baby's body temperature - here's how:

Place two fingers behind your child's neck at the neckline.

If your baby's neck feels cool, your baby is cold.

If the neck is sticky and sweaty, your baby is too warm.
