Winner:JOINT GOLD - Best Children’s Sleepwear Collection (Baby Sleeping Bags)

Who:Jollein

What:Baby Sleeping Bag with Removable Sleeves Round

Why:

Jollein impressed judges with its thoughtful, intentional designs and soft breathable fabrics. The panel felt their timeless, simple style and soft muted colours would fit into any nursery seamlessly. The versatility of an adaptable TOG rating, thanks to the removable sleeves and a rounded bottom for plenty of wiggle room also scored well.

Such cosy looking sleeping bags. I love the colours, fabric and texture.

Charlotte Kewley, Stylist & founder of @thelittlestylist

Winner:JOINT GOLD - Best Children’s Sleepwear Collection (Baby Sleeping Bags)

Who:Superlove Merino

What:Merino Baby and Toddler Sleeping Bags

Why:

Our Judges were impressed by Superlove Merino’s baby and toddler sleeping bag collection, full of dreamy unisex prints and cloud-soft materials. Each sleeping bag is designed to grow with your little one between 2 and 4 years, so there’s no need to replace every few months. The panel was impressed with smart features like thermo-regulating material for all year-round wear and a zip made from recycled plastic bottles! Another sustainability bonus is the brand’s new zero waste commitment – turning fabric offcuts into new yarns.

Merino for temperature regulation is great!

Sophie Beresiner, Journalist, Author & Brand Founder @sophieberesiner

The softest merino wool!

Charlotte Kewley, Stylist & founder of @thelittlestylist

Zips made from recycled plastic bottles? So smart! The prints are absolutely beautiful this year, I love the Secret Garden one.

Winner:JOINT SILVER - Best Children’s Sleepwear Collection (Baby Sleeping Bags)

Who:Love to Dream

What:Love to Dreamâ„¢ Swaddle Upâ„¢ Rainbow ( 1 Tog + 2.5 Tog) in support of Tommy's

Why:

Love to Dream’s Swaddle Up Rainbow sleeping bag was a hit with our judges, who really admired the charitable aspect of this piece as well as its clever design. The brand’s patented Arms Up design is made to allow babies to self soothe and keep them comfy and cosy all night long. But that’s not the only clever feature of this sleeping bag, which features a two-way zip to allow for easier nappy changes and a hip healthy swaddle-effect design for extra comfort. Our panel agreed that these sleeping bags would make the perfect addition to the nursery or gift for any new parent.

What a fantastic purchase to make in support of Tommy's!

Charlotte Kewley, Stylist & founder of @thelittlestylist

Essential transitional product, love the trim!

Sophie Beresiner, Journalist, Author & Brand Founder @sophieberesiner

A brilliant swaddle style sleeping bag. I love the smart, thoughtful design here.

Winner:JOINT SILVER - Best Children’s Sleepwear Collection (Baby Sleeping Bags)

Who:MORI

What:MORI's Sleeping Bags

Why:

Our judges absolutely loved MORI’s sleeping bags for their supreme softness and simple, thoughtful designs. MORI are committed to empowering families to sleep better, and their passion shines through in their parent-first designs. Our panel was impressed by the number of clever features like the thermoregulating material, two-way zip and the pushchair opening and particularly by the adjustable length from 4kg to 2 years, meaning there’s no need to replace every few months! Everything has really been thought of here.

Simple and simply brilliant.

Sophie Beresiner, Journalist, Author & Brand Founder @sophieberesiner

A favourite baby brand here. I can personally vouch for the quality and longevity of Mori pieces.

Charlotte Kewley, Stylist & founder of @thelittlestylist

The experts on softness and ease of use. This brand absolutely knows their stuff when it comes to comfort!

Bonita Turner, Editor, Junior

Winner:BRONZE - Best Children’s Sleepwear Collection (Baby Sleeping Bags)

Who:Slumbersac

What:Sleeping Bag with Feet

Why:

These sleeping bags caused a stir with our judges, who thought that they were an innovative take on the classic baby sleeping bag with their foldable foot covers with grippy soles and built-in scratch mittens for the younger sizes. The attention to detail and focus on making life easier for parents and more comfortable for kids is evident in every design decision from adjustable poppers to the generous legroom, allowing for natural movement. Our panel loved that these sleep bags also come in four TOG options and a range of utterly adorable prints.

A thoughtful concept and very lovely design.

Sophie Beresiner, Journalist, Author & Brand Founder @sophieberesiner

I love that this sleeping bag has inspired an adult version! How cosy!
