Before you decide on a new sleeping bag, consider where and when you’ll be using it. Look at other features like plushness and size. Do you need something waterproof? Are you extra tall? Will this be for indoor use at sleepovers or for camping out in the elements? From under the stars to under the blankets of the living room fort, here are our favorites, unzipped.
Great bargain
If you’re looking for an all-around bag for getting a good night’s rest in the tent, this could be your bag. Great for kids, this bag is lightweight and easy to carry in its stuff sack with straps. The two features that really make it stand out are at the top and the bottom of this sleeping bag. At the head, there’s a semi-circle with a drawstring, so on cool nights, you can use this to make a hood for your head. At the feet, there’s a zippered opening to let your feet breathe on a hot night or in a stuffy tent.
