Hmmm me thinks a trip to Asda tomorrow for camping quilts!!!!

Thanks everyone, I don't really like taking the house quilts as the kids are often trampling over their beds, or taking snacks in the tent etc so would be good to have separate quilts and not stress so much.

I think I will still take my sleeping bag and turn it inside out to lay on and put my quilt over me.

We just use a 10.5 polyester filled duvet at home, but I bought a 13.5 duck down duvet for camping, it rolls up to half the size of our other one.

We've never taken the duvet off our bed at home. As someone else has mentioned, it may come back damp & need airing. Also, we tend to extend our last day & arrive home late at night or early hours of the morning, so I wouldn't fancy having to struggle to unpack the duvet to put back on the bed before we can get some sleep.

Hello Debbie

As rookie campers in June this year we only used sleeping bags and were really cold overnight. The following morning we found the nearest Argos and bought the Argos Value £7.99 double duvets and used these as well as the sleeping bags (I am a wimp and get cold easy!). We were warm as toast. On our recent trip the duvets came but took up so much room. Next time, we will take the duvets but in vacuum bags! I was also given a tip by a seasoned camper who suggested putting a fleece on top of the airbed, then a fitted sheet. This stops the cold from the ground seeping up through the airbed and also makes it more comfortable to lie on.

I use mine from home but i do have a spare incase anything happens while we are away.

I can get my double duck feather and down duvet into a 20L stuff sack.
