We've carefully selected some of the best sleeping bags and sleeping suits made from high-quality natural fibres, including merino wool and cotton as well as great-value easy-care options. At The Sleep Store, we love Merino thanks to its natural temperature-regulating properties; it helps keep babies warm when it's cool and comfortable when temperatures rise. Cotton is another popular option; it's soft, breathable and a great everyday choice, particularly during the warmer months. For a great value backup or daycare sleeping bag, choose from our basics range of sleeping bags.

Sleeping Bags & Sleep Suits for Every Season

Choosing the right weight or tog rating is just as important as choosing the right fabric. A Tog rating measures how warm a sleeping bag is, making it easy to select the best option for the season and your nursery temperature. Merino is not Tog-rated because it's a natural fibre which adjusts according to temperature and typically covers a wider temperature range than Tog rated bags. Whether you're looking for lightweight summer sleeping bags, cosy winter sleeping bags, or versatile all season sleeping bags, you'll find options to suit every family. Our most popular choice is the Woolbabe 3 Seasons sleeping, loved by parents for its versatility across much of the year.

Whether you're preparing for your first baby or moving your toddler into their next sleepwear stage, you'll find safe, practical options designed to help everyone enjoy a more restful night's sleep.

Sleeping Bag & Suit FAQs

What are the best brands of sleeping bags and sleeping suits?

Rest assured that all sleeping bag & suit brands we sell are high quality. Woolbabe is one of our most popular brand thanks to its signature merino & organic cotton blend, which offers versatile seasonal options. The Sleep Store's own brand offers excellent quality and value with merino, cotton or blended fabric styles. ErgoPouch is another trusted favourite, known for its organic cotton sleepwear and clear tog rating system.

What is a tog rating?
A tog rating measures the warmth of a sleeping bag or sleeping suit. Lower tog ratings (e.g. 0.2 Tog) are designed for warmer temperatures, while higher tog ratings (2.5 - 3.5 Tog) provide more warmth during cooler months. Choosing the correct tog helps your baby stay comfortable without becoming too hot or too cold.

Should I choose merino or cotton?
Both are excellent natural fibres. Merino naturally regulates temperature, making it ideal across changing conditions, helping to reduce overheating or getting too cold. Cotton is lightweight, breathable option which is a solid choice for warmer weather or naturally warm homes. Many parents choose both so they have the right option for different seasons.
