Quick answer
Choose a 1.5 TOG sleep bag for rooms between 68–75°F and a 2.5 TOG for cooler rooms between 61–68°F. If your nursery stays warm, start with 1.5 TOG; if it runs cool, 2.5 TOG is your go-to.
How TOG ratings work
TOG measures the thermal insulation of a sleep bag. The higher the TOG, the more warmth it traps. A 1.5 TOG bag is a versatile mid-weight option, while a 2.5 TOG is heavier and best for colder months. Your room temperature should guide your choice, not the season alone.
Layering and room temperature
If your baby sleeps in a cool room, a 2.5 TOG bag can reduce the need for extra layers. In warmer rooms, a 1.5 TOG bag lets you skip heavy pajamas. Always check your baby's temperature by feeling their chest or back, not their hands or feet. Adjust layers based on the bag's TOG and your room's actual temperature.
Decision rules for choosing TOG
- Room temperature 68–75°F: Choose a 1.5 TOG sleep bag. Pair with light pajamas to keep your baby comfortable without overheating. Keep the room in this range to use the 1.5 TOG bag safely.
- Room temperature 61–68°F: Choose a 2.5 TOG sleep bag. This provides enough warmth for cooler nights, and you can use standard cotton pajamas underneath. Avoid extra blankets; the 2.5 TOG bag is designed to replace them.
- Room temperature above 75°F: A 1.5 TOG bag may be too warm. Consider a lighter sleep bag or just a diaper and a thin onesie. Monitor your baby for sweating or flushed cheeks.
