Snugipops Frequently Asked Questions

When is it safe to use a comforter?

In Australia Red Nose support the use of a comforter without supervision in the cot from 7 months. The ACCC recommends unsupervised use from 12 months of age. Please contact each of these organisations directly for clarification or support.

Red Nose does not recommend any specific products or material types for comforters.
However, it is important not to use one that is large (& may cover baby’s face) or with objects (like beads) attached to it which may become loose or products that have small buttons in them that a child may swallow or choke on.
Also, ensure there are no strings or cords that may wrap around baby’s neck, creating a risk for strangulation.

Red Nose also says:
Keep the cot free of large soft toys, pillows, bumpers, activity centres and anything else that could be ‘stacked’ to assist a young child/toddler to climb out of the cot.

Are your products really handmade?

Yes ! Every step of the process in creating our SnugIpops is personally handled by me. From the initial design to the finished product, each comforter is hand crafted. From sewing, to filling with organic cotton fibre, packing and shipping. 

What material does Snugipops uses?

At Snugipops, we’re committed to using only the purest, safest, and most sustainable materials. We are proud to be the only microplastic free comforter on the market.

Fabric: Our Certified Organic Cotton is grown and spun in Australia whenever possible, ensuring ethical production from field to finished yarn. When needed, we source from Fair Trade-certified farms in India and Turkey, always prioritizing worker safety and environmental care. 

Filling: We use 100% Organic Cotton Filling —free from chemicals, polyesters, additives, and fire retardants. Our filling is as pure and natural as it gets.

Printing: Our designs are printed in Australia using 100% solvent-free, non-toxic inks that meet the highest safety standards (Oeko-Tex Class 1 & GOTS approved). Unlike traditional plastisol inks, ours are free from PVC and harmful chemicals.

With Snugipops, every cuddle is safe, sustainable, and made with love.

How should we wash our Snuhipos?

Care Instructions: To ensure the longevity and beauty of your handmade comforter, we recommend hand washing or washing on delicate wash in a laundry bag and lay flat to dry.  For general cleaning, we recommend spot cleaning by gently dabbing the fabric with a mild detergent or soap. After cleaning, it is important to allow the comforter to air dry completely before giving it to your little one.
