A good sleeping bag is crucial for an enjoyable camping trip, they’re comfortable, warm and are the main component towards a good nights sleep in your tent.
We’ve put together a list of the best sleeping bags for your camping trips in 2022.
Types of the Best Sleeping Bag
There are many types of sleeping bag, all serving different purposes – but all designed to keep you warm.
Mummy Sleeping bags are one of the most popular and trusted types of sleeping bag – they are designed to maximise warmth, and their shape hugs the body, making them great for camping in harsh temperatures.
Square sleeping bags are great for providing room whilst you sleep – they are more spacious than the mummy sleeping bags and are good for people who like to move around in their sleep!
The Extra wide sleeping bag is exactly as it says! It’s extra wide – meaning even more room than a square one!
Cotton sleeping bags bring you even closer to nature, with natural fibre material. Some may include 100% Cotton (including filling) whereas others may have synthetic fillings – they’re great for keeping comfortable.
Again, double sleeping bags are given away by the name – they allow two people to sleep together, whilst still providing the same characteristics to keep you warm as a normal sleeping bag. An ideal solution for couples heading on a trip!
Functional and fun sleeping bags, to keep the kids as comfortable and warm as the adults. Some have novelty designs.
