Why You Shouldn’t Buy a Double Sleeping Bag

Seems a strange thing for a sleeping bag retailer to say but it’s worth considering whether a double bag is the best option for your trip. Apart from the obvious spooning advantages etc a double bag is actually pretty poor at keeping you warm vs a single model. The key way a sleeping bag keeps you warm is by trapping the warm air your body creates around you. When two people sleep in a bag a large volume of air either escapes up the middle or up the sides. You also lose the thermal advantages of key features such as a mummy shape, hood and shoulder baffles. Thus you either need to get a very thick sleeping bag or wear warmer clothes when sleeping. So if you are doing camping in autumn or winter we really would recommend considering getting two singles or a double that zips out into two singles so if it gets too cold you have options while you are away.
