Hi all

Have just arrived back from a very cold few days camping!

On getting back we have decided we all need some decent sleeping bags. I have 2 young kids and we will need 2 for us adults. I would like to sleep in the same bag as my hubby lol But if i cant find a large sleeping bag we will have to have single ones haha

can anyone advise me on what i'm looking for or reccommend some good quality ones.

Many thanks

Hi we have a Coleman Hampton double sleeping bag which is really warm - I made a fleece liner for ours & we were toasty in it in April - I find it quite roomy.  Did you insulate your airbeds with picnic blankets underneath & fleecy blanket or mattress topper above?  We also have large cheapy fleecy throw for ours from B&M which we throw over if really cold.  We are going away at the weekend & won't need the fleece liner for ours as bag is fine on its own with just the option of the throw at this time of year.

The kids have brushed cotton lined warm sleeping bags and also have fleece liners with character fleeces from B&M which go on top - they have never been cold yet.  My daughter's is by Boden and my son's is a Vango & probably arent the warmest on the market but are a good combination with the liner as without the liner they aren't too warm in Summer abroad either.  A lot of people on here rank Vango nitestars as really good for kids.

This is the Coleman Hudson which is similar to Hampton but on offer at the mo at Amazon

Friend shave the Hudson (I think) and really like them.

My wife has an Outwell camper Lux which is large and warm - she is a cold sleeper and has never been cold. Bulky packed though, but so will any other similar sleepign bag.

rtather than doubel bag as such , I'd zip two singles together (though we use seperate bags)

Youngest kid (6) sleeps in a Vango Nitestar Midi, eldest (9) sleeps in a Snugpak Lapnoie 350 (adult bag) Both seem to always be snug and warm.
