Here's how to find the right sleeping bag for your baby
Size, material & season explained simply – the sleeping bag guide from Schmatzepuffer®
The right sleeping bag ensures that your baby sleeps safely, comfortably, and at a suitable temperature. To help you quickly find what you need, we've summarized the most important points for you.
1) The correct sleeping bag size
A sleeping bag shouldn't be too big so your baby can't slip down inside. The following sizes can help as a guide:
• 70 cm – ideal for newborns up to approx. 6 months
• 90 cm – for babies from approximately 6 to 18 months
• 110 cm – for toddlers from approx. 18 months
If you are between two sizes, choose the smaller one to ensure a secure fit for the sleeping bag.
2) Summer or winter sleeping bag?
Summer sleeping bags are made of lighter fabrics and without thick filling. They are pleasantly breathable and perfect for warmer rooms.
Winter sleeping bags are more heavily padded and keep your baby cozy and warm without the need for additional blankets. Many models have detachable sleeves, allowing you to easily adjust the sleeping bag to the room temperature.
3) Materials – why they are important
Our sleeping bags are made from soft, high-quality natural and cotton fabrics. They are skin-friendly, temperature-regulating, and offer a comfortable feel. The lining and padding ensure the appropriate warmth level for the season.
4) Zipper & Security
Practical two-way zippers make nighttime diaper changes easier, without having to completely remove the sleeping bag. All models are designed to fit securely and prevent your baby from kicking free.
5) Personal & unique
Many of our sleeping bags can be personalized directly at Schmatzepuffer – for example, with a name or date of birth. This turns a useful everyday companion into a very special keepsake or gift.
