It’s freezing outside, the heating goes up a notch and all you want to do is crawl under a thick duvet yourself. But how do you make sure your little one stays nice and warm at night, without overheating? Every season it’s a bit of a puzzle with layers. No worries! We’re happy to help you with a few practical tips, so you can both enjoy a good night’s sleep. Dreaming big since 1973 At Jollein, we’ve been working on the perfect sleeping bag since the 1970s. It all started with a simple idea: babies sleep more peacefully (and safely!) in a sleeping bag. Many years later, we’ve used that expertise to develop the perfect sleeping bags that do exactly what they’re meant to do: provide comfort. We know which fabrics feel soft on delicate baby skin and which thickness you need at what time. Whether you choose a sleeping bag or a traditionally made-up crib: we’ve got you. The TOG value: your new best friend You’ve probably seen the term before: TOG value. It may sound technical, but it’s simply a guide to how warm a sleeping bag or blanket is. In winter, we usually aim for a total of 2.5 to 3.0 TOG. How you build that up depends on the room temperature: Colder than 18°C? Choose a winter sleeping bag with sleeves, combined with pyjamas and a bodysuit, or use a sheet with a warm blanket. Around 20°C? A winter sleeping bag with just a bodysuit, or a sheet with a single blanket, is often enough. Our tip: Not sure? Feel your baby’s neck. Does it feel comfortable? Then you’re good. Does it feel clammy or sweaty? Time to remove a layer. Cold hands are common in winter and usually nothing to worry about. Sleeping bag or made-up crib? Every baby (and every parent) is different. Some swear by a sleeping bag, while others prefer a snugly made-up crib with a sheet and blanket. The sleeping bag | Ideal for active babies who ‘walk’ through the crib in their sleep. Our winter sleeping bags often have detachable sleeves – super handy when temperatures suddenly rise. Sheets and blankets | A sheet gives a cosy, secure feeling, especially when the crib is tucked in tightly. In winter, add a beautiful knitted blanket on top for extra warmth. Mix, match and unzip Let’s be honest: looks matter too. Whether you go for a complete look or love to mix things up, our prints are made to combine. From dreamy Flower Fairies and cute Animal Friends to calm Leafy Dreams or cheerful Tiny Park. A subtle printed sheet peeking out from under a plain blanket? There’s always something that fits perfectly in your nursery. Safety above all The most important thing is that your little one sleeps safely. Using a sheet and blanket? Always make the bed ‘short’: your baby’s feet near the foot of the crib, so they can’t slip under the covers. Using a sleeping bag? Make sure it’s the right size so the neckline fits snugly. Quick check: Choose your style: the ease of a sleeping bag or the snug feel of a blanket? The right size: the neckline shouldn’t be too wide. Build layers: combine a thin bodysuit with a sleeping bag, rather than one very thick item. Trust your instinct: you know your baby best. If they sleep well, you’re doing great. Have questions about which combination works best in your nursery? We’re happy to help. For all the first nights – and many more to come: sleep well! Love,Jollein

Which sleeping bag does my little one need? At Jollein, we’re here to help you choose the perfect sleeping bag for your baby. With over 50 years of experience designing beautiful and safe baby sleeping bags, we know exactly what makes the ideal fit. Because a good night’s sleep is essential—for both you and your little one! In this blog, we’ll share our expertise in developing sleeping bags, explain TOG ratings, and walk you through our different types and sizes. The most comfortable sleeping bags for your baby! At Jollein, we draw on more than 50 years of experience in designing and producing the finest baby sleeping bags. Over the years, we’ve refined our techniques and truly learned what parents want for their little ones. Every product we make reflects innovation, love, and care for quality and safety. Because at Jollein, we believe only the best is good enough for your baby. What is TOG and why is it important? TOG, or Thermal Overall Grade, is a measure of the insulation level of bedding. The lower the room temperature, the higher the TOG rating should be. This system ensures your baby sleeps comfortably, which is essential for your rest and theirs. A tip: don't add up TOG ratings—extra layers create warmth from the air between fabrics, which isn’t included in the rating. Which sleeping bags are available? At Jollein, you’ll find a selection of sleeping bags that match your baby’s needs, no matter the season or age. Choose the ideal sleeping bag for your little one and ensure restful nights!

Sleeping Bag with Detachable SleevesThis versatile sleeping bag is perfect for any season. With a TOG rating of 3.5 for winter and 2.5 for spring and autumn, it’s the ideal solution for active little ones. Will you choose the version with a rounded or straight bottom? Which size sleeping bag does my little one need? To choose the right size, it’s important to measure your baby’s length. Lay your little one on a flat surface, like a soft mat or bed, and make sure they are lying straight with their arms at their sides. Use a flexible measuring tape and start at the top of the head, measuring straight down to the heel. This gives you the total body length. Compare it to our sizing chart and choose a size slightly larger so your baby has room to move—but not so much that the neckline is too loose. The table below is a guideline—always consider your baby’s length. Jollein offers four sleeping bag sizes: 60 cm: Suitable for newborns from birth to about 3 months. 70 cm: For babies aged 3–6 months. A great follow-up after the newborn sleeping bag! 90 cm: Suitable for little ones aged around 6 to 18 months. 110 cm: For toddlers aged 18 months and up—until they no longer need a sleeping bag.
