Family Camping Sleeping Bags

Camping and caravanning offer a fun, enjoyable and affordable family holiday, especially during the summer months when the weather is at its best and the kids are off school, or during bank holidays which give opportunity for a long needed break away. So to make the most of your time away, it is good to ensure you have comfortable sleeping gear for all the family.

Couples can enjoy the comforts of home with a double sleeping bag which provide space and comfort. Sleeping bag shop has the full range of double sleeping bags from Gelert and Coleman. Accompanying the double sleeping bag is a double sleeping mat or double airbed, a must for extra padding and insulation when sleeping outside on a floor which will be cold and hard during the night. The Gelert Xpedition Double Self Inflating Mattress or the Gelert Self Inflating Double Airbed will guarantee a good night’s sleep leaving you recharged for any activities planned with the family the next day.

Sleeping bags for the kids should be fun as well as warm and comfortable. Girls will love the Gelert Snooze 300 in pink which will not only be ideal for comfort when camping and caravanning in summer months or warmer months either side, but is also versatile and funky enough to use on sleepovers. Likewise, boys will have no problem sleeping in the Gelert Kids Scout Mummy in grey camouflage which will appeal to their adventurous side. To really get into the spirit of camping, the Pacific Outdoor Equipment Kid’s Traditional Sleeping Mat with wildlife graphics will capture the kids’ imagination and help them get a good night’s sleep in comfort.

For those with baby campers, a baby sleeping bag will guarantee the baby is warm enough, since the baby will not be able to kick the bedding off, whilst allowing enough ventilation so that the baby will not overheat. Baby sleeping bags are also very safe as there is a much reduced risk of bedding slipping over the baby’s head compared with traditional bedding. Baby sleeping bags are also versatile enough to be used indoors depending on the tog number of the sleeping bag. During the day, when the baby has nap times, the Grobag Bubbles Travel 0.5 tog (0-6m) will be ideal for comfortable rest. During the night when the temperature may drop somewhat, the Grobag Peek a Zoo 2.5 tog (0-6m) will ensure the baby is warm enough when the temperature drops below 21⁰C. Baby sleeping bags are also available for the older baby in 6 – 18 months and 18 – 36 months.

Finally, extras to help you get the most out of your experience could include pillows, airbeds and sleeping bag liners. Pillows are available in either inflatable or stuffed form and are a guaranteed way of getting a good night’s sleep when camping, caravanning or even just travelling. The Gelert Trek Self Inflating Pillow is a welcome addition to a night spent camping or caravanning, while those who prefer stuffed pillows would make good use of the Gelert Micro Pillow and Stuff Sac. If you are using an airbed whilst on your camping or caravanning holiday, an airbed pump is of course essential. The Gelert 5 Litre Foot Pump allows for fast and easy inflation and deflation, but if you prefer to take the work out of pumping up the airbed, the Gelert Hurricane 2 Rechargeable Electric Airbed Pump would be very useful. Sleeping bag liners provide that extra bit of comfort, increasing the warmth rating of a sleeping bag by 1-2⁰C. They also ensure that the sleeping bag remains clean, taking the hassle out of having to wash the sleeping bag which can decrease its insulating properties over time. The Gelert Double Sleeping Bag Liner is ideal for use with the double sleeping bag and double self inflating mattress, while single sleepers will appreciate the Gelert Silk Sleeping Bag Liner.
