2 sleeping bags ordered as gift for granddaughter with special needs. Her mother has used before and very happy with them.

Excellent quality and service.

I ordered four of these specially-made sleeping bags, two summer weight and two winter ones. We use them on our tall 11 year old autistic child who has used sleeping bags since he was a small baby. He likes the security of them and will not sleep without one even on the hottest of nights. He is also a wriggly sleeper but without the physical ability to pull ordinary bedclothes around him if they come adrift, so the bags are brilliant for keeping him snug all night long.

The bags are beautifully made out of good quality material. My previous order, which he has now almost outgrown, have lasted for years despite being subjected to very frequent washing (almost daily) due to night time wetting. These ones look just as durable. As an amateur dressmaker myself I recognise the work that must go into making each one and therefore, although they do work out quite expensive, I don't think the price is excessive or unreasonable.

My only slight quibble is that on these longer sizes the zip seems to me to be 'upside down' - ie to fasten the bag you start by joining the edges at the neck and then pulling the zip down towards the feet, which is the opposite of what I would intuitively do. It also makes it almost impossible for the child himself to fasten/unfasten it. I don't know why the zip has to be inserted this way round as on the previous ones it was not like that.

However, I'm still giving 5 stars because these bags are so valuable to us, so well made and they supply a need for us which nowhere else seems to be able to fill. I just hope that if he ends up being 6'4" as an adult he will still be able to get something similar, as I can't see his need for them diminishing! Thank you for this product.

Excellent for my son who has ADHD & Autism and kicks covers off, very good quality.

This is a really useful piece of kit for a young man who wriggles a lot at night but is unable to pull bedding over himself to keep warm. He can't escape from this bag! Only comment is that neckline was a bit high, but it isn't causing any problems. Great sturdy zip, easy to get my son in and out of it, and easy to wash and dry. The fact that it can be made to measure is fantastic - thank you so much. It is ideal for moderate temperatures - would be wonderful if a higher tog version with detachable sleeves might be possible for winter?
