How to Choose the Right Sleep Sack TOG Rating

Did you know that sleep sacks have different TOG ratings? A TOG (thermal overall grade) rating is used to refer to the warmness and thickness of the sleep sack. It’s a great way to choose the right sleep sack for your little one based on the temperature and season.

Most TOG ratings are from 0.5 TOG up to 3.0 TOG. The lowest TOG, 0.5, means that the sleep sack is light weight and meant for warmer weather. As the TOG rating moves up, the sleep sacks get thicker and warmer.

We use a 0.5 TOG sleep sack in the summer, 1.0 TOG in the fall and spring, and 2.5 TOG in the winter. My daughter’s room can run a little warm in the summer and cool in the winter so we also factor this is when choosing the right TOG sleep sack.

Most brands will indicate the TOG rating of the sleep sack on their site. Make sure that you are choosing the appropriate rating to keep your baby comfortable! #lemon8partner #babysleeptips #toddlersleeptips #newbornsleeptips #sleepsack #babyessentials #momtips #momhacks #parentingtips #sleeptips
