Could anyone tell me where I can find a made to measure sleeping bag service please? I can't fit into standard size sleeping bags as I am way too tall and despite endless internet searches even the so called extra long ones are too short for me.

I did find one made to measure outfit but it's for specialist backpackers and therefore highly expensive whereas all I want is something I can take with me for a my summer camping trips.

Just a thought - maybe you are being too specific in your internet search? Perhaps an ordinary dressmaker / curtain maker-type person would be able to make you one.
If not, maybe you have found a gap in the market & we will see you on Dragon's Den next series

What do you use at home? We take a king size duvet camping with us...

It may be helpful to tell us how tall you are..?
