Just got back from a weekends camping and SWMBO wants some new sleeping bags!!  Can anybody explain the 1, 2 and 3 seasons types to me and any recommendations for a good quality reasonably priced WARM bag.  I would be after 4 (2 adult and 2 childrens, or maybe just 4 adult sized).  I presume the the 'mummy' type are better than the square type as your body is constricted more, but does this not restrict your movement when turning over etc. and therefore wake you up?

Cheers

If you are looking for something warm then go fo a 3 season sleeping bag. Coleman Hudson and Outwell Contour are all good and used by a lot of folks here.

You can always get fleece sleeping bag linsers to make them even warmer

These are two good sites that explain things a bit more,

This one for size, shape and fill and this one for season ratings. 

This site also gives the season ratings in plainer language.

Hope this might help.

Go outdoors have frontier sleeping bags three season ones which will be able to use all year as they can be used for minus 3 degrees. The single ones are mummy and are great for the children they are 15.00 in sale.

Ihave tesco own for me and my husband only a tenna and is very warm.

Morrisons have a 1-2 season one on offer for a £5.00 and are very warm. Hope this is helpfull. They are not restricted for you to move in.
