I hate feeling hemmed in so bought a good quality rectangle sleeping bag which was infinately better than a mummy one. However I still ended uo unzipping it as I like to be able to stick my legs out the side.

I now take my Raskelf Duvalay camping - BLISS!!!!

I isulate beneath my airbed with old newspapers, but this year have a silver-backed picnic rug as well. Then have a fleece blanket over it, held in place with a quilted mattress cover (this is as much to protect the bed from dogs' claws as anything else), topped with a fitted sheet. A king-size double sleeping bag goes on top, regardless of whether Mr F is with me or not.

I find a sleeping bag gives me the choice of zipping up to keep the drafts out or giving my legs an airing, depending on the temperature.

I have a fleece hat/scarf thingy that I wear if I'm in a draft or if it's very cold, thermal pjs and a pair of fleece pjs. I pre-warm the bed with a hot water bottle and go to bed wearing the lot, if it's chilly, then peel off layers as I get warm.

The final addition is the dogs, who snuggle up and stop any drafts getting in.
