Short answer: Some baby sleeping bags are listed with a TOG value, while others – including Lilla Villa sleeping bags – are listed with a recommended temperature range. At Lilla Villa, you should therefore choose based on the temperature range for the specific sleeping bag, the room temperature, and the product guidance, rather than trying to convert it to TOG.
What’s the difference between TOG and a sleeping bag’s temperature rating?
TOG measures a textile’s insulating capacity. A temperature range, on the other hand, tells you what temperature conditions the specific sleeping bag is designed for, according to the product guidance.
The two pieces of information describe warmth in different ways. You shouldn’t automatically convert a temperature range to a specific TOG value, because materials, construction, and the manufacturer’s tests or guidance may vary.
Do Lilla Villa sleeping bags use TOG?
Lilla Villa sleeping bags are chosen according to the recommended temperature range. The specific product page shows which temperature range the model is designed for.
If you need to choose between our different temperature ranges, go straight to Which sleeping bag temperature should you choose for your child?. Here, we cover models for 0–15 °C, 10–20 °C, 15–22 °C, 20–25 °C, and 25–35 °C.
Should I convert the temperature range to TOG?
No. If the sleeping bag already has temperature guidance, it’s more relevant to follow that specific guidance than to try to find an equivalent TOG value online.
General TOG charts from other brands may be based on different materials and constructions, so they should not be used as product guidance for a Lilla Villa sleeping bag.
How do I choose the right Lilla Villa sleeping bag?
-
Check the temperature in the room where the child will sleep.
- See the temperature range on the specific sleeping bag.
-
Follow the product instructions for use, size, and clothing.
-
Check your child on the chest, back, or neck. Warm or damp skin may be a sign that your child is too warm.

Why is room temperature more important than the season?
The temperature outside does not necessarily indicate how warm it is in the child's bedroom. A heated room in winter may be warmer than a cool room on a summer night. Therefore, choose based on the actual room temperature and the specific sleeping bag's temperature guidance.
Frequently asked questions
What does TOG mean?
TOG measures the insulating properties of textiles. A higher TOG rating generally means more insulation.
What TOG rating do Lilla Villa sleeping bags have?
Our sleeping bags are selected according to their stated temperature range. If a specific model is not labeled with a TOG rating, you should not assign it one based on a general chart.
Is 10–20 °C the same as a particular TOG?
Not necessarily. Temperature range and TOG are not details that should be converted directly without documentation for the specific model.
Where can I find the right temperature?
See the product page for the specific sleeping bag and our guide to choosing a sleeping bag based on temperature.
