HugMe Blanket 1.0 & 2.5 TOG Rose

The HugMe Blanket is designed for newborns who are not yet rolling. Discontinue use once your baby shows signs of rolling for their safety.

Use the 2.5 TOG for extra warmth and comfort or if your baby has a strong startle reflex and needs a firmer fit, the 1.0 TOG side if your baby has mild startle reflex, or the 0.2 TOG side for a lighter weight and stretchier fit. Included in the packaging is a Room Thermometer & HugMe Blanket Dressing Guide, to help you figure out how to layer your baby underneath your chosen HugMe Blanket TOG.

We advise not to add any additional loose bedding into your baby's sleep environment. The HugMe Blanket is designed to be used for comfort and security. If you are looking to add warmth to your child for sleep, we suggest increasing the TOG rating of their layers or pyjamas. Please refer to our Room Thermometer and HugMe Blanket Dressing Guide for how to dress your baby warmly for sleep.

The HugMe Blanket will fit an oval and rectangular mattress, but not a round mattress.

The HugMe Blanket has been tested both with real ergoPouch customers and leading independent safety organisation INPAA. Samples of the HugMe Blanket were provided to 20 customers to test with their child, ranging in ages from 8 weeks to 6 months old, and on a mixture of bassinet and cot mattress sizes. The participants used the product over a period of several days and nights. Most parents (90%) appreciated the settling nature of the Tuck Sheet, claiming it helped their baby settle faster and sleep longer. For parents of babies who were more active in their cot, they found that if their child wriggled out of it, the HugMe Blanket would fall flat against the bed and not pose a suffocation risk. Parents agreed that the HugMe Blanket is most beneficial and safest at the newborn phase, before baby starts rolling and moving. Parents also gave the product a wash test to ensure this didn't impact safety and functionality.

In addition to our parent trials, leading Australian infant safety organisation INPAA reviewed samples of the product. The product was tested across different sized cot and bassinet mattresses,and given a wash test. While there are no offical safety standards in Australia applicable for a product like this, INPAA gave an approval for the product against their own safety standards and guidelines for packaging content, warnings, and messaging to educate the customer.

No. A rolling baby should not be slept in the HugMe Blanket. When you first notice signs of your baby wanting to roll over, it is time to transition them to an arms-out sleeping bag, and removing the HugMe Blanket from their sleep space. Signs include fighting their swaddle at sleep time, twisting their torso or crossing a leg over the other when lying on their back, rolling onto their side whilst they are awake, pushing up on their hands during tummy time, or reaching a hand out during tummy time.

The HugMe Blanket has been sold globally since 2019 (previously under the name 'Baby Tuck Sheet'). During this time, thousands of babies have enjoyed secure, comforting and warm sleep with the HugMe Blanket, and hundreds of parents have provided glowing reviews and amazing feedback of how the HugMe Blanket has helped their family. We decided to change the name of the product to reflect the global feedback we've received in this time. Whilst the concept of a Tuck Sheet is better known in Australia, it didn't represent the approach to sleep from our global families. We decided to change the name to better represent the swaddle-like nature of the product, and how it can be used as a safer blanket-alternative. Along with a new name, the HugMe Blanket is getting new packaging and a new winter TOG in the process. Aside from these changes, the HugMe Blanket remains the same design and functionality that families have loved for the past 5 years.
