Sterntaler Sleeping Bags: Our Guide

Sterntaler sleeping bags offer babies and toddlers a perfect sleeping environment – so your little one is always warmly and safely wrapped up at night. Sleeping bags also ensure an optimal body temperature and provide protection against overheating or cooling down. Thanks to the optimized temperature regulation of our sleeping bags, your child feels safe and secure. Unlike a blanket, a sleeping bag cannot slip over the head and your child can always breathe freely. Cozy warm, safe, and secure – this sleep comfort is what we offer the little ones with our Sterntaler sleeping bags. For a peaceful sleep and a safe feeling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Baby Sleeping Bags

We answer the most important questions about our baby sleeping bags:

Why should babies sleep in a sleeping bag?

A sleeping bag is part of the essential equipment for newborns. When sleeping, a baby likes to kick and toss around in bed. A sleeping bag always stays in place and still offers plenty of freedom of movement. It surrounds your little one with cozy warmth and the little legs and feet are always well wrapped. Sleeping bags also ensure an optimal body temperature and provide protection against overheating or cooling down.

Which baby sleeping bag size is right for my child?

Detailed information about the appropriate size can be found in our guide to “baby sleeping bag size”. Roughly, you can orient yourself by the following formulas for the right sleeping bag size in two different forms:

  • pear-shaped sleeping bag: shoulder height + 10 cm = guideline for the sleeping bag length
  • sleeping bag with feet: body height – head length = suitable sleeping bag size

    Also important are a suitable neck and arm opening and a close-fitting cut. The motto is: grow out of it, not into it!

Which sleeping bag is recommended for which temperature?

At Sterntaler, we offer you different sleeping bag shapes with different TOG values: The TOG value describes the thermal resistance of textiles: The higher the TOG value, the warmer the sleeping bag. Thus, each sleeping bag is suitable for different room temperatures and seasons.

These are our sleeping bag recommendations for different temperatures:

  • Sleeping bags for summer temperatures: 0.5–1.5 TOG
  • Sleeping bags for winter temperatures: 2–3.5 TOG

    Of course, temperatures can vary greatly in different seasons – so just test which sleeping bag is comfortable for your little one each time.

Baby sleeping bag with or without sleeves – which is better?

We present both sleeping bag variants and their features and advantages:

Sleeping Bag without Sleeves

A Sleeping Bag without sleeves optimally regulates temperature and reliably keeps warm during the night: Your favorite sleeps warm and safe in it.

Sleeping Bag with Sleeves

A Sleeping Bag with sleeves is also versatile: In winter, the padded sleeves ensure that your baby's little arms do not get cold. During the transitional period, you can easily remove them thanks to a Velcro fastener.

However, the most important factors are the thickness of the sleeping bag and the clothing of the little ones. In addition to the room temperature, you should always pay attention to your child's body temperature and sense of warmth to choose the optimal sleeping bag. If it gets too cold, you can simply dress your child a little warmer under the sleeping bag. For advice on what your little one should wear under the sleeping bag, we provide guidance on our page “Baby sleeping bag – what to wear underneath?”.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Sleeping Bag

How many baby sleeping bags are needed?

It is definitely advisable to always have two baby Sleeping Bags in the same size and with the same TOG value. This way, one Sleeping Bag can be comfortably washed when needed without your child losing any sleep comfort.

What do you wear under the baby sleeping bag?

For babies, a body temperature of 36.5 to 37.5°C is normal. However, the temperature perception varies from child to child:

Therefore, you should check your baby's body temperature in the Sleeping Bag best at the neck. Whether a light Body Suit, pajamas, or maybe just a diaper is enough mainly depends on the room temperature and the type of Sleeping Bag your little one sleeps in.

Sleeping Bag with or without feet – which is better?

Conventional pear-shaped baby sleeping bags are ideal when your child cannot walk yet, but your little one should still have enough freedom of movement while sleeping. In a footless sleeping bag, they can kick to their heart's content and still sleep warm and safe.

Sleeping bags with feet become interesting for your child as soon as they become more mobile. This way, they can independently join the evening routine or go to bed with the parents alone at night without the risk of tripping.

Until when do babies sleep in a Sleeping Bag?

According to expert opinions, a baby sleeping bag is absolutely necessary in the child's first year of life. However, if your child likes to sleep in the sleeping bag beyond this period, the baby sleeping bag can of course continue to be used. From the family nurse and sleeping bag expert Tina Rapp, you can gladly learn more about our Sterntaler sleeping bag concept!
