Choosing between two Love to Dream Swaddle UP sleep sacks can feel like a puzzle when you're looking for the right baby sleep or soothing product. Both use the same arms-up, self-soothing Swaddle UP design, but they are priced differently and aimed at different stages of your baby's early months.
Quick verdict
The olive Newborn 1.5 TOG version is the pick if you need a warmer sleep sack for a baby in the first weeks. The gray Small version is the better option if your baby is already in the 8-13 lb range and you'd rather spend less. Both are genuine Swaddle UP designs, so the shared arms-up fit won't be a deciding factor; your real call is size, warmth, and listed price. If you're torn, think about your nursery temperature and your baby's current weight first, because each sack is built for a specific size range.

Where each product wins
The gray Small wins for lower listed price and a lightweight cotton-elastane build. The olive Newborn wins for the 1.5 TOG warmth rating and a fit made for newborns. If your baby weighs more than 8 lbs and you want to keep the cost down, the gray is the straightforward pick. If you need a warmer sack and your baby is still under 8.5 lbs, the olive is designed for that exact window.
Product notes
Love to Dream Swaddle UP (Gray, Small 8-13 lbs)
This gray Swaddle UP is listed at USD 21.00 and is sized for babies who weigh 8-13 lbs, making it the lower-priced option between the two. The 93% cotton, 7% elastane fabric is described as lightweight, which makes it a solid choice for warmer rooms or babies who sleep hot. It is machine washable, and the gray color is easy to match with any nursery. The machine-washable fabric also makes cleanup easy, which is a practical plus for nightly use. The main trade-off is the lack of a TOG rating: if you need extra warmth for cooler nights, the olive version with 1.5 TOG will be a better fit. Also, the size range starts at 8 lbs, so this sack won't fit a newborn below that weight.
Love to Dream Swaddle UP 1.5 TOG (Olive, Newborn)
This olive sleep sack carries the 1.5 TOG rating, which gives it a clear warmth advantage over the gray Small. It is designed for newborn-size babies, with generous hip and leg movement space that helps your baby settle naturally. The olive color also makes it easy to tell apart from the gray version, so you won't mix up sacks during a middle-of-the-night change. The 1.5 TOG rating is the key differentiator here-it gives you an extra layer of warmth without the bulk of traditional swaddles. The downside is that this newborn range means you'll likely move up to a larger size sooner, and the higher listed price might make you think twice if your baby is already near the top of the size range at 8.5 lbs.
Final choice by use case
For a newborn who needs a warmer sleep sack, the olive 1.5 TOG Swaddle UP is the right choice. For a baby 8-13 lbs who sleeps in a warmer room, the gray Swaddle UP delivers the same self-soothing design at a lower listed price. The decision comes down to weight range, warmth preference, and how much you want to spend.
