What is the best Sleeping Bag to buy?
The best sleeping bag for you will depend on a number of factors. Warmth, weight, price, down v's synthetic, length, waterproof and if you prefer a sleeping bag or a quilt. More often than not, the warmer the bag, the heavier it is, although the newest sleeping bags manage to deliver warmth for very little weight. Lighter weight materials will often wear out faster and need more care and attention to keep them undamaged in normal use. While a winter sleeping bag for the UK should be comfortable well below zero degrees. Spring and summer bags have a comfort rating from zero upwards, please bear in mind it’s usually easier to be too warm than being too cold at night. As well as giving you the low-down on what sleeping bag is the best, we are also in a position to provide you with a large selection of those sleeping bags and covers available here at Lads Manor through our suppliers.
Choose the best sleeping bag for you.
So what is important? You can buy a sleeping bag for the seasons the bag is designed to be used in, as well as the temperature ratings to make sure it will fit your camping needs. The choice of filling is a down vs a synthetic sleeping bag. Down is both lighter and warmer than synthetic, but it takes more looking after. If you are going away in the car then the sleeping bag does not need to be light but trekking around could be an issue. Down is the best filling for keeping warm, heat retention and temperature range , much better in warm and cold environments. Sleeping bags made from down also tend to last longer. The downside is that you can't get them wet as down loses its insulating properties once water gets inside the bag.
Synthetically insulated sleeping bags are usually heavier and bulkier, they're generally much more serviceable in wet conditions as they can be dried out easier. They’re also easier to clean and cheaper. For people who suffer from allergies synthetic will be their only choice.
