Sleeping bag or quilt ??

[Blueboy]

What do people recommend - is a double sleep bag a better option in a day van or a quilt. Double bags seem miles cheaper - why?

We use a double sleeping bag that’s got double and middle zips which makes it very versatile

For our 1200 wide RIB bed, that's next to our kitchen & storage cupboards, we originally bought 2 x single sleeping bags and zipped them together to make a big double. Problem was, the side zip kept catching / rubbing on the cupboard fronts, We were worried over time, this would mark them, so we bought a quilt and now use that instead. It also means we can stick our legs & arms out if we need to, whereas in the sleeping bag, we couldn't.

Works for us...

We found a double sleeping bag warmer when very cold, but now we have 2 duvalays set up as a double.

Quilts for us, found the sleeping bag thing too restrictive, too hot and generally just a bit of a pain, so two single quilts for us seems to work well.

i use double sleeping bags opened up and used as a quilt, best of both worlds and covers all conditions with easy storage.

Quilts for us too. Not so restrictive.

Quilts ...... so you can change the funky V W covers every few days along with brushed cotton flat sheets top and bottom .... Snug

Quilt, like most noobs the sleeping bag seemed a great idea... rip stop nylon means the bag is self unloading though and you're constantly pulling the thing back up from waist height with the other half asking if you keep waking her up on purpose?
The other feature is how claustrophobic these things are when they've given up migrating downwards or you've zipped it up with just the nostrils poking out.

Sleeping bags come just after tights in the list of most effective contraceptive practices.
