The Sleep Store carries a wide range of sleeping bags, as we've searched for the very best we can find. This can be confusing if you are new to sleeping bags, but we aim to give you a range of fabrics, styles, composition and of course the all important budget!
While a couple of brands are better known, all our bags have a point of difference that may make them the perfect option for your baby. Don't assume you need the most-well known or expensive brand as that's what you have heard of or all your coffee group have them. Find the latest styles in our Sleeping Bag & Suits category.
Here's a few points on each brand to help you choose:
Comparing Different Sleeping Bag Brands
Top of the line, high-quality brands ($140-$200):
Woolbabe
Woolbabe is our favourite brand and the one we recommend most often - we loved Woolbabe bags so much we bought the company! So we suggest starting with our gorgeous Woolbabes and seeing if these suit what benefits you are looking for in a sleeping bag. They consistently receive excellent reviews from our customers and have won several Oh Baby! awards for the Most Recommended Product.
Duvet Woolbabe Bag
Our customers report this is the warmest sleeping bag available, and we agree based on our experience using this bag in a bedroom which gets down to 14 degrees!
The thick filling of 100% Australian merino wool is unique and gives you fabulous temperature regulation and a wide bedroom temperature range the bag can be used in. The generous sizing means you will get excellent value from your bag as you don't need to size up every few months.
Customers often report their baby or toddler starts sleeping through once they changed to a woolbabe duvet bag, as their child stays warm all night.
Key features
- Duvet weight is suitable for 18-20 degrees & under, down to approx 14 degrees.
- 100% organic cotton lining, quilted 100% Australian Merino wool filling with a 30% Merino/70% organic cotton blend exterior.
- Available in front or side zip styles.
- All styles can be used with a 5-point harness in the buggy.
- Must be gentle-washed in a wool-wash cycle with liquid wool detergent. You can low-tumble dry, but air dry is preferable. These need little washing, just air daily over the side of the cot.
- Label - Caution: Keep away from Heat & Flame.
- We recommend Woolbabe for a wonderful value, natural fibre bag. They are generously sized, so are long-lasting and can be passed down to siblings or friends.

- Includes a free room thermometer.
- Available in "Mini" Size 0-9 months, 3-24 Months, 2-4 Years and 3-6 years

3 Seasons Woolbabe Bag
We rate this bag very highly as we consider it the most versatile bag available in terms of temperature range it can be used in. We have personally used the 3 Seasons Woolbabe between 18 to 28 degrees, with baby sleeping sweetly for hot day sleeps and through the night comfortably.
No matter how hot the day, our baby was always just the right temperature. Just vary the clothing inside the bag, use only a nappy for hot day sleep and a fan with the window open. We don't know of any other similar-weight sleeping bag that can also be used down to 18 degrees.
The 30% Merino/70% organic cotton blend fabric is unique to Woolbabe, knitted each season to Woolbabe's exact specifications. It is so super soft, washes fabulously and looks gorgeous.
