um, was planning to take our feather duvet because that is so warm, too warm so I thought better for me as I find sleeping bags very constrictive. In fact, last year, was fighting my way out of it in the night and hardly awake, quite scary in fact.

Plan is, blanket, airbed, thin duvet (4.5tog), sheet to hold it in place then duvet over. Laways take plenty of blankets in case the kiddies get cold in their bags, they're happy with their bags anyway!

As Val has already mentioned, we find it is as important (if not more so) to have layers underneath you,particularly if sleeping on an airbed.

The Vango Astral 350 (or 350XL) is an excellent bag. Val, didn't you say you have recently seen them for sale at £17.50 each? Any chance of a link?

I've just ordered two of these. I thought they were good value - look very warm and this company only charges £3.95 p&p.



www.awnings.co.uk

See Awnings Direct - junior sleeping bag - £9.25

They do other pattens/colours in the same style. I've ordered the "tractors" style. They also do a junior mummy bag for £7.

I have never used this company before - so fingers crossed my order will arrive soonish.

We bought our Sunncamp awning and inner tent from them, and they were very good, wouldn't hesitate to use them again - apart from saying they didn't deliver on "Easter Saturday" ???? That's a new one on me!

We used  to use sleeping bags, but have now changed to a duvet instead. I'm at that certain age where I go as hot as a furnace at times during the night, and need to pull the covers off quick - you can't unzip a sleeping bag quick when you're half asleep! It's also easier & quieter to pay a visit to the loo - no noisy zipping sound!

My hubby is a bit of a cold fish, yet even he says that the duvet is just as warm as the sleeping bags were.  Also the duvet doesn't take up any more space in the car than the sleeping bags we used.

We are using this one at the moment... http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/redirect.asp?redir=http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/3138522026844 

Loads of room and you also get one anothers body heat to share...!

All 6 of use started camping again a few years ago and i only every considered sleeping bags.  After just one trip no one liked the bags and found them restricting!  So i have a storge unit with more sleeping bags then i can count unused and we have gone back to duvets and blankets.

OH and me have one of these each and they're brill, even better than a quilt.
