Keeping your little one cool at night
A GUIDE TO FINDING THE IDEAL TEMPERATURE
At bedtime your focus is always on keeping your little one comfortable. Sometimes that’s about finding pajamas and bedding that are cosy, but often it is about maintaining the perfect temperature so your child doesn’t get too hot or too cold.
TOG RATINGS
A great way to gauge how to dress your little one for bed is with the Tog
rating. This is a European guide that helps you determine how warm your child
will be. The higher the tog, the warmer they are.
While Tog ratings are the best way to keep track of things, ultimately it
comes down to parents and carers to ensure their child and cot are dressed
appropriately for the room temperature.
WHAT BABY WEARS
It is generally recommended that your baby should wear a long-sleeved sleepsuit for bed. However, the amount of clothing should be adjusted according to the temperature of the room and the Tog Rating of your bedding. This will ensure that your little one will never get too hot or cold.
CHOOSING YOUR BEDDING
We have a range of bedding for different needs, each with its own Tog Rating. Follow this handy guide to help you monitor and control your child’s temperature.
DREAMPOD
Our dream pod sleep bags are exactly that, sleeping bags for babies. They are
safer than using loose bedding while your child is still in their first year.
They come with two Tog ratings that depend on how warm your nursery is.
Dreampods should never be used alongside quilts or duvets.
- 2.5 TOG For room temperatures of 13–20˚C
- 1.0 TOG For room temperatures of 20–24˚C
WHAT SHOULD BABY WEAR
Quilt
A quilt performs the same function as a blanket, but they are often thicker
and heavier, usually with polyester padding. They’re a great way to keep your
child warm on colder nights, but you should still adhere to the Tog Rating in
order to keep them safe.
Quilts should never be used alongside dreampods.
- 2.5–3.0 TOG For room temperatures of 13–20˚C
- 4.0 TOG For room temperatures of 13–16˚C
WHAT SHOULD BABY WEAR
We hope this guide has helped you understand the best way to dress your child and their cot for a cool, cosy, and safe bedtime.
