Sizing Information
How do I choose the right size?
Our sleeping bags and suits are sized by age and height. Check the product page for detailed measurements. For the best fit, measure your baby's height and choose the size that allows 10-15cm of growing room at the feet.
What if my baby is between sizes?
We recommend sizing up to allow for growth and ensure comfort. Our sleepwear is designed with extra room to accommodate nappies and allow natural movement.
Do your products run true to size?
Yes, our products are designed to UK standard sizing. Each product page includes detailed measurements to help you choose the perfect fit for your little one.
When should I move from a sleeping bag to a sleeping suit?
Most babies transition to sleeping suits around 9-18 months when they start standing and walking. Sleeping suits with legs give toddlers the freedom to move safely while staying warm.
Product Care
How do I wash my sleeping bag or suit?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with similar colours. Use a mild, baby-friendly detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can reduce the fabric's breathability and affect the TOG rating.
Can I tumble dry my sleepwear?
We recommend air drying to maintain the quality and longevity of the organic cotton. If you must tumble dry, use a low heat setting. High heat can damage the fibres and affect the TOG rating.
Do I need to wash before first use?
Yes, we recommend washing all sleepwear before first use to remove any residue from manufacturing and to soften the organic cotton for your baby's comfort.
How do I remove stains?
For stubborn stains, pre-treat with a gentle stain remover suitable for baby clothes. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals. For organic stains, a paste of bicarbonate of soda and water works well.
Will the TOG rating change after washing?
No, when cared for properly, the TOG rating remains consistent. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat drying to maintain the thermal properties of your sleepwear.
How long will my sleeping bag or suit last?
With proper care, our GOTS organic cotton sleepwear is designed to last through multiple children. The durable, high-quality fabric maintains its softness and thermal properties wash after wash.
Product Information
What is GOTS organic cotton?
GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) is the world's leading certification for organic textiles. Our organic cotton is grown without harmful pesticides or chemicals, making it gentle on your baby's skin and better for the environment.
What is OEKO-TEX Standard 100?
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification means our fabrics have been tested for harmful substances and are safe for babies. This gives you peace of mind that your little one is sleeping in the safest possible materials.
Are your products safe for newborns?
Yes! All our sleepwear is designed with safety in mind. We use breathable fabrics, secure zips, and follow UK safety standards. Our products contain no flame retardants or harsh chemicals.
What TOG should I choose?
