As a parent, I’ve tried just about everything to make bedtime easier — from blackout blinds to white noise machines. But honestly, one of the biggest game-changers for us has been the Slumbersac Sleeping Bag with Feet.

I didn’t realise how much of a difference this would make until we tried it. Now, it’s one of those items I wish we’d discovered sooner.

Freedom to Move, Without the Chill

Our toddler is non-stop — even at bedtime. He loves to walk around before he settles down, and regular sleeping bags just didn’t cut it. They were either too bulky, too hot, or made him feel restricted. That’s why I was so curious (and hopeful) when I came across this version with feet.

From night one, it was a hit. He could move around comfortably, didn’t trip over anything, and stayed warm all night — no more kicked-off blankets or cold little feet at 2am. And the fold-over feet covers are brilliant for when it gets really chilly.

Warm, Cosy & No Overheating

We went for the 2.5 TOG for autumn, and it’s been perfect — warm but breathable. He sleeps soundly, and I’m not constantly checking to see if he’s too hot or too cold. The fabric is so soft and gentle, and it washes beautifully, which (let’s be honest) is a big win for busy parents.

And knowing it’s Oeko-Tex certified just gives me extra peace of mind. I love that I’m putting him in something that’s free from harmful chemicals.

Designed for Real Life

As a mum, I really appreciate the practical features. The non-slip soles give him grip when he’s padding around the house, the detachable sleeves are great for changing seasons, and the underarm poppers help get the fit just right.

And the best part? He actually wants to put it on. He calls it his “cosy suit” and gets excited when it’s time to zip it up.

 Cute, Colourful & Toddler-Approved

The designs are gorgeous – bright, fun, and playful without being over the top. We picked one with a cute woodland print, and it genuinely makes bedtime a little more fun (for both of us!).

A Brand I Can Trust

What makes me feel even better is knowing that Slumbersac is eco-conscious and supports global children’s charities. It’s great to see a company making quality products for kids while also giving back and using sustainable materials.

It’s a Yes From Us

If you’re in that toddler stage where sleep can be hit or miss, I honestly can’t recommend the Slumbersac Sleeping Bag with Feet enough. It’s warm, practical, adorable, and just makes life that little bit easier. And if your little one is as wriggly as mine — it might just be the best bedtime investment you’ll make.
