1.5 TOG

Use a 1.5 TOG sleep bag in cool-to-moderate rooms — typically 66-72°F — and during spring, fall, or cooler nights when a 1.0 TOG feels too light but a 2.5 TOG would be too warm. 1.5 TOG is the in-between weight for families who want more warmth than a year-round bag without jumping to full winter weight.

Yes — sleep bags (also called sleep sacks) are the American Academy of Pediatrics-recommended alternative to loose blankets in the crib for infants under 12 months. The bag wraps around the baby like a wearable blanket and stays securely in place, removing the suffocation risk of loose bedding. Each Quince sleep bag is sized so the neck opening fits without slipping over the head, and the armhole openings are sized to prevent shoulders from sliding through.

A 1.5 TOG sits between Quince's 1.0 and 2.5 TOG options. Reach for 1.0 TOG in 68-74°F rooms, 1.5 TOG in roughly 66-72°F rooms or cooler shoulder-season nights, and 2.5 TOG in 65-68°F rooms and winter conditions. If your baby feels sweaty or warm at the back of the neck, move down in TOG or remove a layer underneath. If your baby feels cool, add a layer or move up in TOG.

In a 68-70°F room, a short-sleeve bodysuit or lightweight footed pajamas is usually enough. In cooler 66-68°F rooms, add long sleeves or choose footed pajamas. In warmer 70-72°F rooms, keep to a single lightweight layer underneath. The goal is for your baby to feel warm and dry — not sweaty — at the back of the neck or chest.

Quince's 1.5 TOG sleep bag is offered in S, M, and L for roughly 0-6 months, 6-18 months, and 18-36 months. The 1.5 TOG sleep bag walker starts at M and runs through XL for roughly 6-18 months, 18-36 months, and 3-4 years. Check the size guide on each product page for height and weight ranges, and size based on fit at the chest rather than buying extra large for longer wear.

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild, fragrance-free detergent (a baby-safe detergent is best for newborn use). Skip fabric softener and bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Run pieces through one extra rinse cycle for newborn use to remove all detergent residue. Bamboo viscose softens with each wash and holds up to the frequent laundering sleep bags require.
