for review. (Contains affiliate links.)As soon as it arrived, I was giddy. I tore open the box, ripped off the bag and felt the fabric. It was so soft. It was softer than my baby’s skin. I found myself petting it over and over because I couldn’t get over how incredibly silky it felt. My son was starting to get sleepy, so I thought I’d try it out on him immediately. The zippers were really smooth and it was easy to get him in the Gunapod. My son loves anything soft and he seemed to enjoy rubbing his cheek on the Gunapod baby sleep sack. I put him in his swing and he fell asleep instantly and stayed asleep for longer than usual.
When he woke up, I kept him in the Gunapod since the house was cool and I wanted him to stay warm. I felt some rumbles and my first thought was “Please don’t blow out my Gunapod, I mean YOUR Gunapod!” I laid him down and it was so easy to unzip the bottom of the sack, keeping my son nice and warm while I checked his diaper. Thankfully, it was a false alarm! My 3-year-old was able to easily zip up the Gunapod around my baby all by himself.
We’ve been using it every night for the past 3 weeks and not only has he kept it clean (knock on wood) but he hasn’t felt cold once. We’re able to use lighter weight pajamas (instead of fleece) and he stays comfortable. He also seems to want to stay in it all morning. When we start doing formal nap times with him, we will be using this Gunapod as his signal that it’s time to sleep.
What I like about the Gunapod:
- It’s so incredibly buttery soft!
- The zippers are smooth and easy to use.
- It’s a great weight for colder weather.
- The Alphabet pattern is a nice neutral.
- Each size lasts a long time. Size small fits babies 0-9 months and size medium fits babies 9-18 months.
- The hypoallergenic bamboo fibers actually breathe better than cotton.
- It’s breathable, moisture-wicking and antibacterial.
- Their WONDERZiP® 4-way, all-around zipper provides you with the easiest diaper change under any conditions.
What I don’t like about the Gunapod:
- I wish they had more colors/patterns available.
- I wish they had one in my size.

Looks like your little one is really enjoying it! Glad you have found a solution to help your baby sleep better.
He loves it! It keeps him the right temperature!
That looks so cozy warm! We’ve always just used sleep sacks but this looks good for cold winter nights!
We used to just use sleep sacks but this one is so much nicer!
He looks so cute and happy! he is definitely loving this!
Yes, he gets giddy when he sees it!
I used to have a couple of these little bags for my boys when they were babies. They made changing diapers in the middle of the night MUCH easier.
I know, right? So much easier!
Aw – what a cutie little punkin’ you have! How fabulous that he sleeps so well with this bamboo duvet! And not being able to find any negative reviews says a LOT!
It really does! I still can’t find anything I don’t like about it. My Mom just used it for the first time with my son and kept remarking how easy it was to use!
Living in Florida we totally wouldn’t need something like that, because the zip up onesies worked the best for us. However, if I lived any place else I would have loved them.
We have central air so our house is the same temp all year-round and our kids sleep in fleece jammies, even in the summer. But we are in the NW and our climate is pretty steady!
Well that big smile says that your baby totally approves!! What a precious little one you have!
Thanks! We’re really enjoying him!
This looks awesome! My little man has been having issues staying asleep, so I really need to check this out
If he’s getting chilly at night, this might be something to try!
This looks so comfy and warm. And of course the sweet little baby is absolutely darling.
Thanks! It’s so cute to see him all snuggled up!
That is such a cozy looking wearable blanket. I hope I found out about this when my kids were younger!

I wished I would have had one for my oldest!
Hehee…your second “negative” made me giggle. When my oldest was a baby, she would ONLY sleep in sacks like this. I love the pattern on this one.
I love that this pattern is so neutral.
I am wondering if they make this in an adult size. It looks so cozy that I want to wrap up in it.
It’s like a sophisticated snuggie! I would get one for myself for watching TV on the couch!
Oh, these look so comfy! I didn’t discover sleep sacks until the second time around, but used them for all the rest. The zippers always failed,though. I had moments of panic that my baby would be stuck in there forever (sleep deprived mama forgetting there’s a thing called scissors!). I think the reviews – or lack of negative ones – says it all!
Hahaha! Sleep deprivation is real! This one has the smoothest zipper of any sleep sack I’ve tried so far.
His smile says it all!!! He loves it!
Also agree with you, I wish they would make them in our size as well as they look so comfy haha
They are insanely soft, too!
What a lovely review. And how adorable does your little boy look! He looks like such a happy baby <3 xx
Thanks! He’s super happy when he gets enough sleep!
This looks awesome! My little one loved the velcro swaddles when he was younger but he always broke out of them. This would have been awesome for him!
Plus this one is so much quieter than the velcro ones!
Omg this is so adorable! Wish I had a baby to put that on :p
Heehee!
I wish I knew about this a few months ago when I was looking for the perfect baby gift! It’s wonderful! Oh well, i’ll bookmark it for next time!
I think this is going to be my go-to shower gift because each size lasts so long!
This looks so comfy! I love that they left holes for the baby to be able to move their arms making it even more comfy but still keeping them warm. I love the neutral colors !!
Yes, he has a lot of freedom!
He looks so comfortable in that gunapod, who wouldn’t! I will let my whole family know about these great, cozy gunapods.
He really loves being cozy in it!
We love wearable blankets. Both of our daughters used them even in Florida. This one looks awesome. I cannot wait to check them out.
My oldest used sleep sacks year-round when he was little.
This looks amazing. Kinda reminds me of swaddling, keeping him all tucked up and in. Do they do adult sizes 😉
I feel like it would be the best TV-watching blanket for adults!
Ooh you’re giving me baby fever! What a little cutie! This looks great too! I never had one of these for any of my kids.
They are amazing!
Wow, your baby definitely looks very comfy in it. He is so cute and adorable! How I wish there is an adult version also 🙂
He’s so cozy and comfy!
I have wondered that myself – why don’t they make one in adult size or for teenagers? Looks cozy warm! Perfect for Chicago winters.
It could be the newest trend for teens!
Awww this is so cute. Your baby looks so comfy and cute!! They need an adult version. just saying lol
He loves the Gunapod!
Super cute. I would love one of these for my littlest. It looks so comfy and cozy our house always feels a little chilly to me so it would be nice for her to be extra cozy!
I like that it’s warm and breathable!
There are a lot of companies that make sleep sacks, but this is definitely the most luxurious!
I want one of these for myself lol! This looks great for little ones, your little one looks so comfy in it!
He really loves it!
ADORABLE baby! And I love that bamboo duvet. My almost two year old was a very big baby and looked really silly wrapped snuggly until she was over six months. She truly wouldn’t sleep otherwise. This one looks very comfy!
My oldest also loved to be swaddled! This baby is much bigger and grew out of the swaddle earlier.
This sounds like a great baby duvet, and your little one looks so cosy! Its fab that you have found such a fab product. I love that one of your negatives is that they don’t do one in your size!
And I’m serious! I want one for the couch!
Your son is adorable! He looks comfortable, and the good thing is this gunapod has holes that allow baby move their tiny arms.
It’s just the right amount of freedom!
oh my goodness, how adorable! This just screams for an in-home nursery lifestyle photoshoot! Looks like he can wear that for a while- has plenty of room to grow!
This size is 0-9 months, which is awesome!
This is such a cute sleep sack! I always see these and they just look like super warm sleeping bags but this one looks super comfy!
It’s seriously the softest fabric ever!
Omg you baby definitely looking comfy that’s for sure!!! Might just have to grab one of these for a baby shower gift!!!
Do it! The Mom-to-be will thank you!
I bet the baby is so comfy, the baby felt like it was in the womb. It is nice and all mom should get one.
I would definitely get a Gunapod over other brands. It’s held up a lot better than others we have used.
Baby approved is definitely the best. How comfy and warm looking. I think my baby girl needs one.
It’s by far his favorite sleep sack!
I’ve never heard of this brand, but that sleep sack sounds like perfection! I like the alphabet print, and I can’t imagine how soft it must be!
I just discovered them! They aren’t very well-known yet.
Aw, your son is so cute! And he looks comfortable in this sleep sack. Totally not helping my baby fever! 😉
What an adorable baby! My niece just had her first baby and what a perfect gift idea! Thank you for sharing.
It’s seriously the best sleep sack we’ve found (and we’ve probably tried 20 between the 2 kids)
Aww what a cutie! He looks super comfortable!
He grins every time I put him in the Gunapod!
This looks like a great product, thanks for sharing this for new moms. Great informative review
Awe this is too cute! Why didn’t they have cool stuff when I was a baby lol
I know, right? They just posted a photo of an ADULT wearing an XL and they looked soooooo comfy!
I wish there were adult versions of this. My husband and I subconsciously “fight” for ownership of the blanket during the cold months. I think this would be a nice way to solve our problem.
Hahaha! YES! I’m sure it would save a lot of marriages!
