Types of Sleep Sacks: Choose the Best Sleep Bag for Your Baby

What does TOG stand for and why is it important?

TOG, which stands for Thermal Overall Grade, serves as a standardized measure in the textile industry to gauge the warmth provided by a garment. This measurement is applicable across a range of textile items, encompassing everything from baby blankets to duvets and comforters. Essentially, the TOG rating offers valuable insight into the level of warmth a specific item can provide to the individual using it.

In the realm of baby apparel, TOG primarily denotes the warmth rating of sleepwear, including items like baby sleep sacks, wearable blankets, or swaddle blankets. Baby sleepwear typically exhibits TOG ratings ranging from 0.5 to 3.5, assisting parents in selecting appropriate clothing to keep their baby comfortably warm.
