Sleeping Bags
We need to buy two new single sleeping bags for caravan that will zip together for a double.
Apparently '3 season' is the grade we need.
We have a budget of £45-50 for each bag.
Any recommendations would be welcomed.& where to buy.
Thanks

We've got Coleman Hampton sleeping bags, they are large, soft and flannel lined, nearest thing we could get to home comforts. A bit bulky to store and if it's cold I use a comfy Welsh wool blanket as an extra layer or leave the heating on a low overnight setting. Check out Amazon for special offers.

Always just use a duvet....we are not camping you know!

Just snuggle a little closer to your other half.

We use two king sized duvets. One each on single beds folded lengthways. Lie on half and cover yourself with the other half. Toasty and easy to wash duvet covers. Gave up on sleeping bags after camping in the Arctic Circle.

Buy a good sleeping bag, switch off the heating and save the planet. We use a couple of duvalay combined sleeping bags, probably out of the price range suggested, but they do come with memory foam mattress, and you dont need to worry re girth as they are throw over rather than zip up, excellent for snuggling up to your partner.

As opposed to cotton/polyester bedding or sleeping bags or duvets? Hmm!

well you see, unlike some i do not have a fixed bed in my 2008 caravan and have to utilise the front lounge cushions so the memory foam mattress, is multifuctional, 1. it smoothes out the ridges in the lounge cushions, sure you remember those dreadful ridges, making for a restful and comfortable sleep, i am 72 so this is important for me 2. reduces the wear and tear on the said cushions, thereby hopefully reducing the need for new cushions, expensive, and hopefully means i can continue to use the caravan for many years to come, thereby negatating the expense of buying something new. And after all the douvalay with the exception of the mattress is only a glorified duvet, and we do have cotton liners stitched together from bedsheets that we sleep in. Would recommend them to anybody with an oldish caravan that have problems sleeping on seat cushions, economical and practical.

I think you meant to address that to LL rather than me, Rufs.
I was responding to his 'save the planet' post.

Here you go Kay. Three season, zip together, within your budget.

The Coleman sleeping bags we use are supposed to go down to -20 but that is a bit ambitious, we find they are OK except in severe cold. Over the years we've had all sorts of bedding, we prefer duvets but it's storage space and lay out that makes the difference etc so at present the sleeping bags suit us. The Coleman bags are around £34-40 just now. They are very roomy and soft so we hardly notice they are "bags" they can be zip linked or used as duvets.

Well maybe you don't have to put your bed away every day at home and then find somewhere to put the bedding.
So it's compactable storable bedding some need. Just now we're away and we've left one sleeping bag at home and brought our wool duvet, so, one soft opened out sleeping bag to lie on and one cosy duvet over us. We can only just squeeze the duvet into a cupboard but it's suiting us for this trip as we head north. 0
how much energy was used to produce Duvalay sleeping bags and memory foam mattress.
-- I'll get an electric heater thank you very ever so much !!
