Festival Sleeping Bags

When preparing to go to a festival, how and where you sleep will probably be at the bottom of your list of priorities. However, a good sleeping bag and comfortable surface on which to sleep will make the whole experience much more enjoyable. For the warmer time of year in which festivals occur and the minimal amount of days spent camping at a festival, it is unnecessary to spend a huge amount of money on a sleeping bag, but on the other hand the sleeping bag must not compromise on comfort and warmth.


A synthetic filled sleeping bag would be the most suitable for such an event, keeping its insulating properties even when wet, being easy to clean and not overly expensive, for example the mummy style Sprayway Challenger 250, offering a reasonable price tag yet comfort and warmth. If you don’t want the restriction of a mummy style sleeping bag but still want the warmth and comfort associated with it, the Gelert Sleeping Pod can deliver. The pod shape allows the user to turn, move and curl up inside the bag just as they might in a normal bed. The shape of the pod also offers a funky twist to the conventional sleeping bag, adding to the relaxed and laid back atmosphere often experienced at festivals. In addition to all this, its season 2 rating makes the pod sleeping bag perfect for keeping the user comfortable in the warmer summer months. Alternatively, Sleeping Bag Shop also stock a wide range of cost effective envelope sleeping bags, a 2 season bag will provide enough warmth for festivals throughout the UK festival season.


When it comes to sleeping mats, the Gelert Camping Foam Mat would be a good accompaniment to the sleeping bag, to provide extra insulations and padding but without spending too much. If you are looking for something offering a little more comfort the mat also comes in a thick version.
