Sleeping bags, TOG etc

[lady_neon]

The less togs the thinner it is. 0.5 tog for summer, 2.5 tog for winter. In this heat though I am only putting DS down with just a onesie on.

Room temp: 24-27 use 0.5 tog with short sleeve onesie
Room temp: 20-24 use either 0.5 tog with long sleeved onesie or 1.0 tog with short sleeve onesie
Room temp: 16-20 use 2.5 tog with long sleeved onesie

From the guide that came with my sleeveless sleeping bag.

I read somewhere the long sleeve ones are a danger for overheating. Something about not enough air flow? No idea where though, not sure how accurate it is.

I read this on the packet too, and then didn't buy them. Our bedrooms get down to 5* and less in Winter. Keeping bedrooms at continuous 16-20* is crazy. How did we all survive growing up?

I'm in Perth so room temp rarely gets low! At the moment its like 25+ every night

I don't expect to keep room temp at 16-20 but I find the guide helpful. The bag I have is .5 tog summer bag so the guide doesn't go low. The 2.5 tog bags have the lower temp guide.

But you gotta wonder how we all survived!! It's all a bit overdone these days IMO
