Having the best sleeping bag is important whether you’re out in the wilderness of your back garden, or somewhere a little more treacherous. That doesn’t mean a good sleeping bag is easy to find - especially if you’re shopping within a budget.
The ideal sleeping bag will all depend on what sort of climate you’re sleeping in. If you’re sleeping in a campsite in Cornwall, you’re probably not going to need the same thickness as someone hiking up Everest.
UPDATE: We've added the Kathmandu Comet Sleeping Bag to our list. As we head into the warmer months, this mummy-shaped sleeping bag is especially designed for use in warmer climates. Weighing as little as 0.61kg, it's a great trekking companion and comes with a water-repellent, natural down fill so that it maintains its insulation even when wet. A fantastic option if you can afford the higher price point.
If you’re trekking, you’ll also want to consider how heavy a sleeping bag is. A lightweight option is probably going to be a lot more beneficial if you’re spending day after day lugging it around. On the other hand, if you’re simply driving to a campsite, you don’t have to worry as much and can afford to get a heavier sleeping bag.
Below you’ll find an array of options, ranging from premium to the more reasonably priced - along with a variety of shapes, materials and sizes thrown in for good measure.
