The guide to choosing the right summer sleeping bag

Summer nights are hot, and you're wondering how to dress baby for safe sleep? The summer sleeping bag is the ideal solution to avoid slipping blankets and ensure peaceful sleep. Discover how to choose the right TOG, breathable materials like cotton gauze, and adapt the size to your child's age for optimal comfort. Between safety and practicality, this essential accessory simplifies summer nights.

Important features of a summer sleeping bag

The ideal TOG for a summer sleeping bag is between 0.5 and 1.0, corresponding to temperatures between 24 and 27°C.

Natural materials like organic cotton or cotton gauze are particularly suitable for their breathability. Choose baby bedding in natural materials and sustainable materials like organic cotton that effectively regulate your child's body temperature.

  • Organic cotton: soft, breathable, hypoallergenic, easy to maintain and absorbent
  • Cotton percale: tight weave, breathable, durable and cool to the touch
  • Cotton gauze: ultra-light, airy, highly absorbent and suitable for hot nights
  • Washed linen: thermoregulating, antibacterial, hypoallergenic and eco-friendly
  • Bamboo viscose: soft, breathable and ideal for preventing sweating

Sleeveless sleeping bags promote air circulation to prevent overheating. Models with fold-up feet adapt to temperature variations and baby's movements. Exposed feet make it easy to assess body temperature. Some models combine removable sleeves and fold-up feet for optimal use in summer conditions.

Wondering until what age to use a baby sleeping bag? The answer mainly depends on two criteria: your child's age and morphology. A sleeping bag that's too big can lead to risks of slipping or discomfort, while a model that's too small restricts their movements, disrupting their sleep. That's why Chambrekids offers a range of summer sleeping bags carefully designed to perfectly adapt to your baby's growth, from birth to 36 months.

Each model is available in several sizes, with ergonomic cuts and breathable organic cotton fabrics, ensuring safety, thermal comfort and freedom of movement even in high heat.

By choosing a Chambrekids sleeping bag, you're investing in made in France quality, a tender and timeless design, and optimal protection for your little one's summer nights.

Which TOG sleeping bag to choose for summer temperatures?

Between 21 and 24°C, a TOG 1 offers the perfect balance between lightness and protection, without risk of excessive sweating.

To ensure your baby has peaceful and safe nights during summer, it's essential to choose a sleeping bag adapted to the room temperature.

When the room exceeds 24°C, choose a TOG index below 0.5: these ultra-light sleeping bags in fine cotton allow excellent air circulation while preventing overheating.

Use and care of summer sleeping bags

Dressing baby under their summer sleeping bag

The clothing under the sleeping bag depends on the TOG and room temperature. In summer, a short-sleeve bodysuit is often enough with a light sleeping bag (TOG 0.5 to 1). For very hot nights, a sleeveless bodysuit can be considered. The important thing is to avoid layering that causes sweating.

How to know if baby is too hot or too cold?

Judge your baby's temperature by touching their neck: it should be warm, never clammy or cold.

A baby who is sweating, has red cheeks or is breathing rapidly is probably too hot.

Conversely, cold hands or shivering indicate they're cold. Adjust their sleeping bag and clothing accordingly.

Maintenance and durability of summer sleeping bags

Wash the cotton gauze sleeping bag at maximum 30°C, with a wash bag to preserve the fibers. Avoid fabric softeners that clog the fabric. Air dry if possible. A well-maintained sleeping bag retains its breathable properties longer, especially in summer when hygiene is crucial.

A cotton gauze sleeping bag with a TOG of 0.5 to 1 is a practical and safe solution for peaceful summer nights. By choosing lightweight and breathable models, you can adapt bedding to temperature variations while maintaining your baby's comfort. This ensures restorative sleep, without compromising on safety or future savings.
