Which sleeping bag does my little one need?

Which sleeping bag does my little one need?

Which sleeping bag does my little one need? At Jollein, we’re here to help you choose the perfect sleeping bag for your baby. With over 50 years of experience designing beautiful and safe baby sleeping bags, we know exactly what makes the ideal fit. Because a good night’s sleep is essential—for both you and your little one! In this blog, we’ll share our expertise in developing sleeping bags, explain TOG ratings, and walk you through our different types and sizes. The most comfortable sleeping bags for your baby! At Jollein, we draw on more than 50 years of experience in designing and producing the finest baby sleeping bags. Over the years, we’ve refined our techniques and truly learned what parents want for their little ones. Every product we make reflects innovation, love, and care for quality and safety. Because at Jollein, we believe only the best is good enough for your baby. What is TOG and why is it important? TOG, or Thermal Overall Grade, is a measure of the insulation level of bedding. The lower the room temperature, the higher the TOG rating should be. This system ensures your baby sleeps comfortably, which is essential for your rest and theirs. A tip: don't add up TOG ratings—extra layers create warmth from the air between fabrics, which isn’t included in the rating. Which sleeping bags are available? At Jollein, you’ll find a selection of sleeping bags that match your baby’s needs, no matter the season or age. Choose the ideal sleeping bag for your little one and ensure restful nights! Newborn Cocoon / WrapperThis cocoon is perfect for newborns aged 0–3 months. It offers warmth and comfort, helping your baby feel safe and secure. Summer Sleeping BagMade from breathable, lightweight fabric, these sleeping bags are ideal for warm summer nights. They help keep your baby cool and comfortable. These sleeping bags are made from airy muslin or stretchy jersey and have a TOG value of 0.5—perfect for warm summer evenings! Sleeping Bag with Detachable SleevesThis versatile sleeping bag is perfect for any season. With a TOG rating of 3.5 for winter and 2.5 for spring and autumn, it’s the ideal solution for active little ones. Will you choose the version with a rounded or straight bottom? Which size sleeping bag does my little one need? To choose the right size, it’s important to measure your baby’s length. Lay your little one on a flat surface, like a soft mat or bed, and make sure they are lying straight with their arms at their sides. Use a flexible measuring tape and start at the top of the head, measuring straight down to the heel. This gives you the total body length. Compare it to our sizing chart and choose a size slightly larger so your baby has room to move—but not so much that the neckline is too loose. The table below is a guideline—always consider your baby’s length. Jollein offers four sleeping bag sizes: 60 cm: Suitable for newborns from birth to about 3 months. 70 cm: For babies aged 3–6 months. A great follow-up after the newborn sleeping bag! 90 cm: Suitable for little ones aged around 6 to 18 months. 110 cm: For toddlers aged 18 months and up—until they no longer need a sleeping bag. Do you still have questions? If you still need help choosing the right sleeping bag or size after reading this blog, feel free to contact our customer service. They’re happy to assist! With these tips, you’re all set to pick the perfect sleeping bag for your little one. Enjoy peaceful nights and sweet dreams! Want to learn more about TOG ratings? Read our blog on that topic too!

The adventure of Daisy, Rose, Ella, and Dave searching for the Queen’s enchanted flowers

The adventure of Daisy, Rose, Ella, and Dave searching for the Queen’s enchanted flowers

Once upon a time, there was a flower girl named Daisy. She wore an enchanting purple dress with a small heart on the front, and she liked to wear her hair in two little buns on her head. She walked through the castle gardens, looking for her flowers. Today, the Queen needed them for her big celebration. But to Daisy’s shock, her flowers had disappeared! She ran through the gardens, her eyes searching for their cheerful colors. Suddenly, she saw Rose, another flower girl, taking care of beautiful roses. Rose was very pretty, always wearing a Sea Green dress, and her lovely red hair shone in a big bun on her sweet little head. Daisy told Rose her sad story, and Rose immediately wanted to help. Together, they searched, looking under bushes and behind trees, but the flowers were nowhere to be found! Running on their way to the magical lake, they saw Livia and Mae fluttering around. The enchanting fairies were always near the castle to protect it. They always wore cute dresses, and their little wings sparkled in the sunlight. Unfortunately, they hadn’t seen the Queen’s flowers anywhere. Just as Daisy was starting to lose hope, they met Ella by the magical lake, a friendly mermaid with sparkling hair. Ella was a magical mermaid who had lived in the castle’s lake for centuries, and one day the king had given her a little crown. She wore this crown every day. Daisy begged Ella for help, and Ella immediately dived into the water to search for the flowers. She asked the frogs, the fish, and the ducks, but even in the lake, the flowers were nowhere to be found! Then Dave appeared, the superhero, flying through the air like a true hero, always dressed cool in his superhero cape and mask! Daisy begged him for help, and Dave shot up into the sky to search for the flowers. He finally found them and tucked them into his superhero belt. Daisy was so happy she hugged her friends, and together they returned to the castle. Daisy knew she could always count on her friends, even when things got tough. With friends by her side, there was nothing she couldn’t do! Download our coloring page here with all the new dolls and enjoy hours of coloring fun together!

Interview Susan (Export Manager)

Interview Susan (Export Manager)

  Tell us a bit about yourself?I’m Susan, 37 years old, mom of two kids (teenagers) Aaron (14) and Nora (12), and I live in Zuidlaren. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends. I’m also often found on the soccer field as a volunteer and soccer mom since both my children play soccer. On top of that, I still play soccer myself. How long have you been working at Jollein?I have been working at Jollein as an export manager for a year now. Initially, I only handled customers abroad, but for a few months now, I’ve also been visiting Dutch stores in several regions. It’s so nice to see how our items are lovingly presented in physical stores. How would you describe Jollein?It’s a wonderful company; we have such beautiful collections. Besides that, we have a great work atmosphere and fun colleagues. It’s really a family business from the past, and you can feel that in the workplace vibe. It’s very approachable and all colleagues collaborate well. We’re all involved in the successes and challenges the company goes through. I would also say that we develop really high-quality collections that are always completely on-trend. I’m super proud of that! What’s the best thing you’ve experienced at Jollein?There are plenty of great things, but I really enjoy filming the collection videos. We do this every year. A videographer comes to the office and we record the video in the showroom. The video explains all the new products we are going to launch in the upcoming collection. I do this together with a sales colleague, and what you don’t see in the video is actually the best part — especially in the beginning, we have lots of bloopers. We mess up, forget the name of a product, or completely blank out. Because we record the video in English, switching languages can be tricky sometimes. Maybe it would be fun to release a blooper edition so everyone can enjoy it! Want to see the collection video? Check the image bank. What do you find most special about the contact with your customers?For me, it’s very interesting to see the different cultures. I always find it funny how tastes and styles can vary so much around the world. It’s also great to speak with everyone via Teams and show the collections. My customers really share my passion. I proudly tell them about our beautiful items and explain how it works if you want to become a Jollein dealer. We are constantly working to make this process even easier. That’s a nice challenge. I’m also always busy sorting out all the paperwork to make it possible to supply all the countries that sign up as Jollein customers. How many hours per week do you spend in the car?Until recently, I worked fully from the office. This was because I was mainly export manager for all customers outside the Benelux and France. For them, I give presentations in the showroom via Zoom meetings to show our collection and answer all questions. It’s funny how, due to the time difference, I sometimes have calls at the strangest hours to provide our customers worldwide with all the info. Recently, I’ve also taken on several regions in the Netherlands. I really like that because it gives me face-to-face contact with my customers. I spend about 8 to 10 hours per week driving, usually one day a week. Of course, I also attend foreign trade fairs for which I happily travel many kilometers. That way, I can really connect with customers! What do you like to listen to on the road? Radio, music, or podcasts?To make the time on the road fun, I prefer listening to my own Spotify playlist. Every Sunday evening I update this list with the newest releases. And with two teenagers in the house, I’m always totally up-to-date on music, which is ideal! My favorite music is TOP 40 and dance; Kygo, David Guetta, and Tiësto are my favorite DJs, so I sing along a lot in the car. What is your favorite item from the new collection?I really love the Dreamy Mouse collection. You can clearly see so much love and attention went into it. Every time I look at it, I notice new details in the design. Besides the print, the items in the collection are, as I’m used to from Jollein, very soft and cuddly. That’s exactly what you want for your baby, right? I also really like the Puffed Bag. Of course, I immediately got one as soon as it rolled off the container and was available for us to order. I always get a lot of questions about it. It has all the features of a real diaper bag with plenty of pockets and all the accessories a new mom needs, but it looks like a bag you can also just take along when going out with friends or to the city. Even my daughter likes to borrow it.
