Coleman Hudson double -- EACH.

My OH also made a liner for them by sewing together 2 large single sheets down one side and the bottom and halfway up the other side. I think she got them from ASDA at about £2 each.That way we can just wash the liners every trip and I find that on warm nights I can throw the top half of the sleeping bag and just use the sheet liner.

We have a double sleeping bag and have used it for our last few trips but i am finding it a bit too restrictive, so for this trip i am taking a double duvet to try out (as well as two single sleeping bags, just in case)

Will report back on the merits/demerits of this decision.

I used to take a duvet, OH  his mummy-bag.. always said I couldn't sleep in a sleeping bag because I wriggle too much!

We found a coleman chestnut XL - its huge!! about 4 ft wide! and lined with brushed cotton... ahhhhh.

OH was so impressed that he bought one too and we now zip them together, lovely and cosy with loads of room, in fact there is sleeping bag hanging off both sides of the airbed, just like a duvet. fab

We have 2 vango astral 350 XLs - one left anad one right hand zip - so we can have them separate or together (depending on whether we are speaking!!). As a single bag they are huge -110cm across the chest, and have a hood too which is good for cutting out draughts around the head and neck..

As a double they are gigantic and there is a central zip down the middle of the top surface. To be honest they are so warm like this that we rarely close the zip - and if OH is warm and I am feeling the cold there is enough fabric for me to wrap the unzipped end right under me. This way we can each regulate our temperature without disturbing the other one.
