Sleeptime comforts for children at Acorn & Pip
What sleeptime products do you stock?
Our sleeptime range covers the products that support safe, comfortable baby and child sleep — sleeping bags, swaddles, comforters, nightlights, and sleep accessories. We choose products based on safety credentials, material quality, and designs that create a calm, beautiful sleep environment.
What TOG sleeping bag should I use for my baby?
0.5–1 TOG for summer or warm rooms (18°C+), 2–2.5 TOG for autumn and spring (16–20°C), and 3.5 TOG for winter or cold rooms (below 16°C). Always follow the brand's room temperature guide and dress your baby appropriately underneath — a sleeping bag is designed to replace blankets, not be used on top of them.
Are sleeping bags safe for newborns?
Yes, when used correctly. Sleeping bags are actually recommended over loose blankets by many sleep safety organisations because they can't be kicked off or cover a baby's face. Always use the correct size for your baby's weight and length, and ensure there's no excess fabric around the neck. Our team in store can advise on the right choice for your baby's age.
What is a baby comforter and does my baby need one?
A comforter (or 'lovey') is a small soft toy or cloth that a baby bonds with as a sleep association. They can be a powerful settling tool, especially when transitioning to a cot or when you're not there. Many parents find it helpful to sleep with the comforter first so it carries their scent. We stock beautiful organic comforters that are safe for babies from 6 months.
