Camping | how to choose sleeping bag for camping?

If you want to sleep comfortably in your sleeping bag and get a good night's sleep like in a real bed, here are some tips to follow before you turn off the lights!

- Dress simply. In general, a single layer of clothing should suffice.

- Warm your extremities by wearing a hat, gloves, socks or using heaters if necessary. A bottle of hot water can be used to warm up (if there is no risk it might open, of course!)

- Did you know that 70% of the energy consumed is transformed into heat? By contracting your muscles, you can then create a nice source of warmth before you fall asleep!

- You can also choose to use a bag sheet, ideally made of silk, to maximise the warmth inside your sleeping bag 

- And for the same comfort as you’d get at home, don't forget a small pillow!

Did you know ? There are different sizes of sleeping bags to fit your body.

Choosing the right sleeping bag for your size will optimise your thermal protection.

For both camping and bivouac sleeping bags, there are different fillings such as cotton, polyester or feathers.

Sleeping bags for bivouacking are either filled with feathers or polyester. Sleeping bags for camping are made of either cotton or polyester. 

For your information: Polyester is a material that is easy to care for.

Our designers have not forgotten the young ones! With junior sleeping bags, you’ll find products designed for children who are experiencing their first nights on the camping or bivouac. 

These sleeping bags have a volume and size specifically adapted to the youngest ones. Some models are even expandable and can adapt as children grow. The cover can also be used as a toy pouch or as storage for a headlamp, for example.

One thing not to forget when choosing is your child’s height. The larger the volume of air to be warmed, the more energy the body expends and the more likely it is to cool down during the night. It is therefore important to always choose a sleeping bag adapted to the size of your child.
