TOG Ratings Explained The TOG ratings can be a helpful guide, but they shouldn't be the only selection criteria for your baby's bedding and blankets. It is also important to consider the temperature of the room where your child is. Babies cannot tell us when they are too hot or too cold, so it's best to monitor them regularly for signs of excessive heat such as damp hair cheeks, red ears, and a red ear. Sleeping Bags When you're looking for a sleepingbag, the TOG rating is one of the first items you'll notice. This is because it's one of the main factors used to determine the degree of warmth the sleeping bag will be. The greater the TOG rating, the warmer the bag will be. However, it's important be aware that TOG ratings are only one factor when choosing a sleeper for your child. Other variables, such as the temperature in your room and your child's comfort level should be taken into consideration. As a rule of thumb it is recommended to purchase a sleeping bag with a TOG rating that is lower than the average room temperature. This will help keep your baby warm and avoid overheating. However, if you're planning to live in a cold climate, you might want to consider a TOG rating that is higher than the room temperature you're used to. When choosing a sleeping bag, it's crucial to remember that your child controls their body temperature. This is why it is important to put your baby on their back with their head and face exposed. This will allow your baby to regulate his body temperature by using their head and face rather than their chest and arms. Sleeping bags are great for this as they provide warmth from both sides, and create a warm pocket of air around the infant. The TOG rating for sleeping bags is lower than that of adult duvets due to the fact that they aren't as heavy or thick. The TOG rating is based on ISO/EN testing results. Since the ratings can differ from brand to brand it is important to look at the label to get an idea of the temperature a sleeping bag can provide. The label will have an overall comfort rating, a transition rating and an extreme rating. The comfort rating refers to the temperature at which a typical cold-sleeper is comfortable, the transition rating is the temperature at which someone who usually feels warm may begin to feel discomfort. The extreme rating is the temperature at which a person is on the verge of hypothermia. Duvets Duvets are an important part of any bedding collection, and it is essential to choose the appropriate one for each season. The tog rating isn't a measure of weight but rather the insulation properties of the fabric and its filling. Duvets with higher ratings are warmer and more insulating, and those with less of a rating are less heavy. The tog rating of a duvet will be contingent on a variety of variables, including the material used in the filling and the construction of the fabric. For example, natural fibres like feathers or wool tend to have an inherently higher tog rating than synthetic materials such as hollowfibre. This is because they are more thermally insulative, which means you do not require as many of them to get the same duvet tog rating as a synthetic alternative. The casing of the duvet can also impact its tog. Duvets made of cotton tend to have a lower tog rating, as cotton is breathable and allows body heat and moisture to escape. Duvets with polyester cases, on the other hand are less air-tight and therefore are heavier and more well-insulated. When selecting a duvet, it is crucial to take into account your body temperature because everyone regulates their body temperature differently. This is why some people prefer a lighter duvet during the summer, and a more substantial one during winter, while others like to sleep under a medium-warm temperature all year round. Bunk Beds Store is possible to buy duvets with different ratings of tog, such as a 4.5 tog summer duvet or a 13.5 tog winter duvet which means you can change them depending on the season and your personal preference. Gingerlily's “half and half” silk duvet is an excellent choice for couples who have different sleeping preferences. The duvet is split in the middle, with a light 4.5 tog weight in summer and a mid-range 10.5 tog winter weight so that both can be clipped together if needed. Sleeping Sacks There's a lot to take into consideration when purchasing sleep sacks for your baby. There are plenty of choices to pick from, including fabrics and size. However, what you may not know is how TOG ratings affect your choice. The type of material used determines the TOG rating of a swaddle or sleep sack. The breathable, lighter fabrics that are used for summertime sleeping bags have lower TOG ratings than the heavier fabric, more dense ones (like fleece) used in winter sleeping bags and duvets. When selecting the right sleeping bag for your baby, make sure to check the TOG rating. Babies are extremely sensitive to heat, and overheating can be dangerous. They are also not adept at managing their body temperature, which is why you have to ensure they're at a comfortable temperature for a relaxing nap or a night's rest. Sleep sacks come in a range of TOG ratings so you can select the appropriate one for your child. A 0.2 TOG sleeping bag is perfect for warm rooms, while a 1.0 TOG sleeping bag is best for cooler ones. You'll also want to take your baby's bedding into account. If they have on footed pajamas or other clothing that will keep their feet warm, a 1.0 TOG sleep sack may suffice. In other cases, you may have to upgrade to an 2.5+ TOG sleep bag. The zzzZipMeSack is made from premium cotton muslin, which gets softer and softer after every wash. It's the ideal option for warmer sleeping environments. The two-way zipper makes it simple for you to get your child into and out of the bag. It's also breathable, which is ideal for hot weather. The Hapiu bamboo muslin sleep sack is another option that's ideal for those who prefer warmer sleeping conditions. It is a soft sleep sack, breathable, and has an open weave. It lets babies move their arms around freely and will not hinder them from rolling on their stomach. Wearable blankets can lower the chance of SIDS by allowing your child to lay on their stomachs. Wearable Blankets When you are shopping for a duvet or baby sleeping bag, you'll usually notice the 'TOG' rating noted on the label. This rating is used to determine the temperature of a duvet by determining its thermal resistance. What is this? The TOG rating was first used in the UK as a method to measure a duvet's heat level. It's now an integral feature on a lot of textiles such as pillows and duvets. The more high the TOG is, the warmer the product, and vice versa. When shopping for a sleeping bag for your baby, take into consideration the TOG rating and the recommended room temperature. This will ensure that your baby is warm enough for them to be comfortable at night but not too hot. This is crucial because excessive heat can lead to SIDS. It can be difficult to tell if your child is too warm or too cold when they're wrapped in a swaddle. That's why it's best to go with a 1.0 TOG sleep sack that's lightweight and made of breathable material like cotton muslin.
