Best 3 Tips for Lightweight Sleeping Bags

By Emma Arrington

With the wide range and variety available nowadays online or in stores, it can make shopping for a kid's sleeping bag seem daunting. It does not have to take a long time to know exactly what you are looking for. I have compiled a list of three important tips to look out for when you are on the hunt for a kid's sleeping bag.

Firstly, the temperature of the environment and surroundings where the child will be spending the night at is one of the key factors to take into consideration. It will determine your choice of the thickness, materials used as well as the fill of the sleeping bag. For outdoor adventures during the cool months, spring, autumn and pre-fall, it is advisable to opt for a three season bag. This will ensure that the sleeping bag is used sufficiently and will also maximize the value if you use it more frequently.

Additionally, I would encourage you to look at the temperature rating of the bag attentively. It is imperative that you choose the right and most suitable bag based on the climate and weather of the place you or your child will be spending the night at.

The two most common sleeping bag shapes are the rectangular and mummy shaped ones. As the name suggests, a rectangular bag is designed just like a rectangle shape. It offers more than enough room to shift around during sleep, making it very comfortable and cozy.

Lastly, these indoor sleeping bags do have thermal insulation qualities but are advised mostly for indoor use. Due to the lightweight fabrics it is manufactured with, it is softly lined with smooth padding to support the back and provide comfort. For additional warmth, kids are encouraged to wear thermal underwear or a jumper to sleep in the indoor sleeping bag.

Finally, it is imperative that you think through the different sleeping bag models, and be sure that the one you choose is the most suitable one for you.
