Hi, does anyone know of a really warm double sleeping bag?  Hate mummy bags and would rather snuggle up to my OH than be in a single bag alll on my own

Hi, our sleeping bags are the old type (square) so we can zip them together, don't know if you can still get them though?

Hi there Imclaff, We have the square type that zip together, bought from Argos, Towsure have them and Barrons Caravans have them at different weights for thickness and warmth.  You can buy from Towsure on line, they are quite good.

All else fails and its cold use a couple of fleecy blankets as well as sleeping bags.

Warmest option is to just get two good mummy bags, but make sure you get one with a left hand zip and the other with a right hand zip, then just zip them together.

Any decent outdoor shop should sell LH and RH zipped bags.

Hope this helps.

Most envelope type sleeping bags will zip together to make a double. We just use a pair of cheapo's zipped together with a summer duvet over us inside the bags. Warm as toast.

After much research, I have just bought 2 Coleman summer weight mummy type bags from sales at puffinproducts.co.uk. They areŁ14.99 each + postage. They offer a free sleeping board to keep out the damp if camping.

If you buy 2, they send a left & a right zipped bag so they can be joined together. Quite roomy (my husband is 6'4'') and very cosy.

This is a new firm just setting up. Very pleasant to deal with and delivery is by return pf post.

We have one of these POPLAR DOUBLE SLEEPING BAG FROM OUTDOORGEAR.CO.UK - lovely!  Didn't buy it from Outdoor Gear tho - got it a bit cheaper at a tent exhibition.

We have the same as Shirley. think it has a zip down each side. We bought ours from a Yeoman's exhibition and I think it was cheaper than Outdoor Gear too. Was very successful in France last year.
