How to Choose the Right TOG Rating for Your Sleep Sack

One of the most common questions we receive from new parents is: "How do I know if my baby is too hot or too cold at night?" The answer lies in the TOG rating of your baby's sleep sack. Choosing the right weight is crucial for preventing overheating and ensuring a restorative night's sleep.

What is a TOG Rating?

TOG stands for Thermal Overall Grade. It measures the thermal resistance of a garment-essentially, how much warmth it provides. The higher the TOG, the warmer the sleep sack. For example, a 2.5 TOG sleep sack is designed for colder rooms, while a 0.5 TOG sleep sack is perfect for summer months.

Quick Guide to TOG Ratings

0.2 - 0.5 TOG: Ideal for rooms above 75*F (24C). Lightweight and ultra-breathable bamboo.
1.0 TOG: The "Goldilocks" weight. Perfect for standard room temperatures between 68-75F.
2.5 TOG: For cooler rooms (61-68F). Puffy and cozy for winter nights.

Safe Sleep for Every Season

When selecting your organic sleepwear, always consider the layers underneath the sleep sack. A bamboo footie pairs perfectly with a 1.0 TOG sack for year-round comfort. Explore our collection of premium sleep sacks to find the perfect match for your nursery.
