Safety Tested
Our baby sleeping bags are tested to recognised European and British safety and quality standards for safer sleep.
Why safety matters in a baby sleeping bag
Babies cannot regulate their body temperature as well as adults, which is why choosing the right sleepwear is so important. A suitable baby sleeping bag should be appropriate for the room temperature, fit comfortably and help avoid risks linked to loose blankets, overheating or unsafe bedding.
A well-fitting baby sleeping bag helps keep your baby safely covered throughout the night without blankets coming loose or being kicked off. It also creates a calmer sleep environment and gives parents extra reassurance at bedtime.
Important information about fit
A baby sleeping bag should fit securely around the neck and arm openings to help prevent your baby from slipping down inside. At the same time, it should allow enough room for comfortable movement and natural sleep.
Safety Testing Explained
BS EN 16781
Tested to European and British safety standards for baby sleeping bags
Our sleeping bags are tested to BS EN 16781, the European safety standard for baby sleeping bags. Important safety features such as the fit, neck and arm openings, zip design and overall workmanship are carefully checked.
This helps ensure the sleeping bag fits securely, is suitable for your child’s age and size, and supports safer sleep.
EN 14878:2007
Flammability tested
Our sleeping bags are tested for flammability as part of recognised safety standards for baby and children’s sleepwear. This testing checks how the materials react to heat and helps ensure they meet relevant safety requirements.
TOG tested
The right warmth rating for every room temperature
The TOG rating shows how warm a sleeping bag is and helps parents choose the right option for their child’s sleep environment. Our TOG ratings are independently tested in a laboratory to ensure reliable guidance for different room temperatures.
Choosing the correct TOG can help your child stay comfortably warm without overheating.
OEKO-TEX® Standard 100
Materials tested for harmful substances
Babies spend many hours in close contact with fabrics, which is why we use materials certified to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100. This certification means the fabrics have been tested for harmful substances and meet strict safety requirements for products used against sensitive skin.
How a baby sleeping bag should fit
A baby sleeping bag should fit securely and be suitable for your child’s height. The fit around the neck, arm openings and overall length is especially important for safer sleep.
1. Check the neck opening
The neck opening should fit closely so your baby cannot slip down inside the sleeping bag.
2. Check the arm openings
The arm openings should fit comfortably without being too loose.
3. Check the length
Your baby should have enough room to move and kick naturally, while still fitting safely inside the sleeping bag.
