Calm nights without the startle

You finally get your baby down, then one small twitch of their arms jolts them wide awake again.

Traditional swaddles either pin the arms down too tightly or come loose halfway through the night, undoing all that settling.

This sleep sack's arms-up cut lets your baby rest in the position newborns naturally choose, easing the reflex that keeps waking them.

One sleep sack, every stage covered

Buying separate swaddle wraps, sleep bags and transition suits for every stage of your baby's first six months adds up fast.

Each one works a little differently, so you end up guessing which wrap suits which week, with half left unused in a drawer.

One soft cotton sleep sack in two sizes covers the newborn stage and the wrigglier months that follow, with no extra kit to buy.

Nappy changes without the fuss

Nappy changes in the middle of the night are hard enough without wrestling your baby out of layers of fabric first.

Unzipping from the top means undressing their whole top half just to deal with a nappy, waking everyone up further.

The two-way zipper opens from the bottom so you can change your baby's nappy while their arms and chest stay warm and zipped in.

Questions? We got answers.

Materials, care & sizing

Materials
· Made from soft combed cotton that sits gently against your baby's skin
· Butterfly-shaped "arms up" cut with a zip guard that keeps the zip away from the chin
· Two-way zipper running from chest to hem

Sizing
· Size 0-3 months suits babies roughly 50-62cm and 3.5-6.5kg
· Size 3-6 months suits babies roughly 62-68cm and 6.5-8kg
· Fit should sit snug but not tight around the chest, like a gentle hug

Care
· Machine washable on a gentle cycle
· Stays soft wash after wash
· Tumble dry low or line dry; avoid high heat

Is it safe for a newborn to sleep with their arms up?

Yes, many newborns naturally prefer resting with their hands up near their face, and this cut supports that position while keeping them snug and secure.

Will my baby overheat in it?

The combed cotton fabric is breathable, so it's comfortable for naps and overnight sleep in a normally heated room; dress your baby in lighter layers underneath on warmer nights.

How does the two-way zipper work?

Unzip from the bottom up to the middle to change a nappy, then zip back up without ever undressing your baby's top half.

Can my baby still move around in it?

The sack is roomy around the hips and legs for healthy movement, while staying snug around the chest for that secure, held feeling.

Nice product but sizing ran big

The material and zip are good quality but the 3-6 months size came up noticeably large on our daughter who is a smaller build. We've had to wait for her to grow into it rather than use it straight away. Would still consider buying again but would size down.

Soft but takes a while to dry

Lovely and soft against the skin and does help with the startle reflex, but it takes longer to dry than our other sleepwear after washing. Not a huge issue since we have two, just something to be aware of if you only buy one.

Took a few nights to adjust

Our son needed about a week to get properly used to having his arms up rather than down by his sides, so the first few nights were a bit fussy. Once he adjusted it worked really well though. Good product overall.

Great design, wish there were more colours

Really happy with how it works and the fabric quality, only wish there were a couple more pattern options to choose from. Everything else about it has been spot on for our daughter's sleep. Would still recommend it.

Good but ran slightly small

The quality is lovely and our baby sleeps much better in it, but the 0-3 months size felt snug on our son by about 11 weeks. Had to size up earlier than expected. Still a good buy overall, just check the length guide carefully.

Does the job properly

Not one for writing reviews usually but this has made such a difference to our evenings that I wanted to say so. The arms up shape means our son doesn't fight it like he did a normal swaddle. Thoroughly recommend.

Good sturdy zip

A lot of baby products feel a bit cheap but the zip on this one is proper quality and hasn't snagged once in two months of daily use. Our daughter seems comfortable in it and settles quickly at nap time.

My wife is very impressed

We were both dreading the newborn stage of broken sleep again with our second, but this has honestly made the nights easier. The stitching and zip feel sturdy, not flimsy like some we looked at. Good value overall.

Exactly as described

Ordered the 0-3 months for my newborn and the sizing was spot on. The zip pull at the top is covered so it never touches her chin. Would happily buy this brand of sleep sack again for any future children.

Simple and effective

No complicated folding or wrapping technique needed, you just pop baby in and zip up, which is all you want at bedtime when you're exhausted. The fabric is thick enough for a cooler room but not too warm either.

Great for a wriggly sleeper

My son is quite a mover in his sleep and this has stopped him accidentally waking himself up with his arms the way a loose blanket used to. Fits true to size for his age. Really happy with this purchase.

Bought one in each colour

Liked it so much after the first one that I ended up ordering all three colourways so we always have a clean one ready. The cream with gold hearts is my favourite but they're all nicely made.

Lovely soft fabric

The cotton is noticeably softer than the swaddle we were using before, and it hasn't bobbled after several washes. My little boy seems properly relaxed in it rather than fighting against it like he used to.

Worth every penny

Wasn't sure about spending this much on a sleep sack but it has honestly saved our evenings. No more fighting with a blanket that comes undone halfway through the night. The zip runs smoothly every single time.

The hip room is a nice touch

Unlike a tight swaddle wrap, there's plenty of room around the legs and hips for natural movement, while the top stays snug. Our health visitor actually commented on how well fitted it was. Would recommend to any new parent.

Packed this for our trip away

Took this travelling with us last month since it packs down small and washes easily in a hotel sink if needed. Baby slept just as well away from home as he does in his own cot. Really glad we brought it.

Settled our newborn within days

Our newborn was waking herself up constantly until we tried this. Within about three nights she was sleeping in much longer stretches. The size guide was accurate too, the small fits her perfectly at 9 weeks.

Our second baby lives in this

Used a similar style with our first and went straight back for this one with our second. The zip guard at the top means it never catches under the chin, which happened with a cheaper one we tried. Highly practical design.

Lovely quality for the price

Compared to a couple of swaddle blankets we tried first, this is far easier to use and the baby can't wriggle out of it. The combed cotton feels really gentle against the skin. Ordered the golden cream and it still looks new after weeks of use.

Great for the 3am changes

Being able to unzip from the bottom for a nappy change without taking his arms out is honestly such a small thing but makes such a difference at 3am. Fits our 4 month old well in the 3-6 month size. Really pleased with it.

Does exactly what it says

Was sceptical about the arms up design at first but my little one has always liked her hands near her face anyway, so it made sense. No more being woken by her own arm movements. The fabric feels proper quality too.

Bought as a gift, went down a treat

Got this for my sister's new baby and she messaged me the next day to say he'd slept four hours straight for the first time. The pink heart design is gorgeous in person too, better than the photos online.

Soft cotton, washes really well

Bought two of these for my daughter and they've been through the wash more times than I can count, still just as soft. The stitching has held up perfectly too. Would definitely buy again for a second baby.

Brilliant for night changes

The two way zip is such a clever idea, you can change a nappy without unzipping the whole thing and letting all the warmth out. Our son stays half asleep through the change now. Ordered the blue one and the stars print is really sweet.

Finally some proper sleep

My little one used to wake herself up every couple of hours with her arms flailing about, but since we started using this she's settling so much better. The arms up cut really does seem to stop the startle reflex waking her. Bought the 0-3 months in the cream heart print and it's lovely and soft.
