If you\u2019re planning on spending your nights in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/sleeping-bags\/\"><strong>sleeping bag<\/strong><\/a>, there are some basic things you need to consider. For example, answer me this: would it be wise to down a couple of pints before you go to bed? What about leaving your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/sleeping-mats\/\"><strong>sleeping mat<\/strong><\/a> at home because \u201cthe grass\u2019ll do the trick\u201d, or letting your girlfriend borrow your sleeping bag even though she\u2019s three heads shorter than you? None of the above is a good idea! Cold and restless nights will follow. Promise!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the following, we\u2019re going to give you some <strong>advice<\/strong> as to what to look out for when buying and sleeping in a sleeping bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-right-sleeping-bag-down-or-synthetic\">The right sleeping bag: down or synthetic?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As is so often the case with outdoor gear of all kinds, choosing the right sleeping bag depends entirely on how and where you plan to use it. The advantage that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/synthetic-sleeping-bags\/\"><strong>synthetics <\/strong><\/a> have over down is that they are still able to insulate when wet because the fibres don\u2019t clump together. With down, it\u2019s a completely different story. Down has a tendency to clump up, causing it to lose its insulating abilities. Plus, it takes much longer for clumpy down to dry! So long in fact that you may have to take action yourself in order to restore the down\u2019s original loft. This is absolutely crucial because it is the loftiness of down that is responsible for its heat-trapping ability.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/ajungilak-comapct-3-season.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/ajungilak-comapct-3-season-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"A classic black sleeping bag.\" class=\"wp-image-1098\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Robust, but heavier &#8211; synthetic fabric<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>So, are we saying you should always choose synthetic insulation over down? Not necessarily. Down is an excellent insulator and is very popular for being extremely light and packable. Plus, down adapts much better to the shape of the body, which makes it more <strong>comfortable<\/strong>. That being said, when you want to go light, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/down-sleeping-bags\/\"><strong>a down sleeping bag<\/strong><\/a> is the only way to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re always so preoccupied with the fact that water could get in our sleeping bags from the outside that we forget that it can come in from inside as well. How\u2019s that? Well, our bodies produce quite a bit of moisture during the night. If you sleep in a cotton shirt, for example, that shirt will eventually start to feel damp, which will in turn make you feel cold! So, in order to get the most out of your sleeping bag, you should always wear <strong>functional underwear<\/strong>. Sleeping naked in your sleeping bag is a pretty good way to go, too, by the way. However, this will neither contribute to nor diminish the bag\u2019s insulating abilities. The downside to sleeping in your b-day suit is that you\u2019ll have to wash the bag more frequently, which can have a negative effect on its lifespan. So, if you want to get more out of your sleeping bag for longer, it\u2019s best to use a liner. Depending on the material, it will either have a cooling effect (e.g., silk) or will provide additional insulation (e.g., fleece). Plus, liners are very easy to wash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-meal-in-a-glass\">A meal in a glass<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re completely knackered after a long day on the trails and decide to drink a couple of beers instead of cooking a proper meal, you could be in for a pretty restless night. When the body is drained from all-day physical activity, we not only feel fatigue but also have an increased sensitivity to cold. If you\u2019re <strong>cold<\/strong> and hop in your sleeping bag for warmth, you\u2019re putting far too much faith in the bag. Why? Well, the sleeping bag only insulates, whilst actual warmth comes from the body. The important thing is to give your body the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/calories-burned-calculator\/\">calories<\/a> back that it lost &#8211; and not in the form of \u201ca meal in a glass\u201d. As good as it may taste, alcohol unfortunately lowers the core temperature of the body and makes for a restless night\u2019s sleep. In other words, it\u2019d be better to take the time to prepare and eat a warm meal and enjoy a nice cuppa before going to bed. Your body will thank you in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cold-feet\">Cold feet?<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/nalgene-everyday.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/nalgene-everyday-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Nalgene everyday water bottle.\" class=\"wp-image-1095\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">When sealed, it\u2019s the perfect remedy for cold feet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Once your feet get cold, it takes a while to warm them back up. A sleeping bag\u2019s insulation won\u2019t really help, either. Neither will thick socks. What will help is a trusty hot water bottle! I know what you\u2019re thinking, and no, you don\u2019t have to bring along that red knitted hot water bottle from grandma. A plastic bottle filled with hot water will do just fine. Make sure it\u2019s completely sealed, though ;-)&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-rude-and-rather-cold-awakening\">A rude (and rather cold) awakening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine waking up after a great night\u2019s sleep to this: Clothes frozen stiff! The mountains are calling, but the weaker part of you, or your inner pig-dog, as the Germans so cleverly call it, is stronger! In order to get your trip off on the right foot, you need to take your clothes with you when you snuggle up in your sleeping bag at night. That way, not only will they stay nice and warm, but your tootsies will too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-gender-specific-sleeping-bags\">Gender-specific sleeping bags?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It may sound like we\u2019re overgeneralising when we say that \u201cwomen always have cold feet, and men always have broad shoulders&#8230;\u201d, but we\u2019re actually not in this case. There are indeed differences between men and women, and you might want to keep them in mind when purchasing a gender-specific sleeping bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only does the foot of the sleeping bag tend to be thicker in women-specific models, but their proportions are specifically designed for women as well. So, it would definitely make sense for a woman to buy a women-specific sleeping bag.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Marmot-Womens-Angel-Fire-Daunenschlafsack.jpg\" alt=\"Marmot - Women's Angel Fire - Daunenschlafsack\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/brands\/marmot\/\">Marmot<\/a> \u2013 Women\u2019s Angel Fire &#8211; Down sleeping bag<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-comfort-rating-lower-limit-rating-and-extreme-rating-which-rating-is-relevant\">Comfort rating, lower limit rating and extreme rating. Which rating is relevant?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopefully not the extreme rating! This indicates the lowest outside temperature in which a person can stay alive in a sleeping bag. The comfort rating indicates the lowest outside temperature in which the \u201caverage woman\u201d (their wording &#8211; not ours!) can sleep comfortably. Their \u201caverage women\u201d is 25 years old, 1.60 metres tall (5\u20192\u201d) and weighs 60 kg (132 lbs) and is wearing functional underwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lower limit rating applies to the \u201caverage man\u201d (25 years old, 1.73 metres tall (5\u20196\u201d), weighs 70 kg (154 lbs)). Unfortunately, there are certain things that these ratings don\u2019t take into account, such as an individual&#8217;s physical and psychological constitution. And these are very important aspects to consider!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all, some people tend to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/sweat-rate-calculator\/\">sweat<\/a> more than others (which causes them to lose heat), whilst others tend to move around more during the night (which makes them warmer). In sum, temperature range may be a very subjective criterion, but it can point you in the right direction when shopping for sleeping bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the way, if you tend to get warm, you can always use the zip at the foot of the bag for extra ventilation! This will definitely keep you cool and prevent you from losing heat. Unfortunately, though, not all sleeping bags are equipped with a two-way zip, so this isn\u2019t always an option!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sleep-movement\">Sleep movement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because many of us tend move around whilst we sleep or like to sleep on our sides with our legs bent, manufacturer have taken it upon themselves to make sleeping bags that are specifically designed to accommodate these positions. Regardless of whether they have a particular shape or just elastic seams, both are there to help side sleepers get a good night\u2019s sleep!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, the size of the sleeping bag plays an important role as well. The interior length of the bag should not correspond with your body height, but rather give you some wiggle room. So, if you\u2019re 1.75 metres or 5\u20197\u201d tall, the interior length of your sleeping bag should be around 1.85 metres. It\u2019s always better for it be a bit larger than just right or too small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why so much room? If the sleeping bag is too narrow, then you\u2019ll rub up against the sides. And, if these get smashed in, cold spots can form. So, when purchasing a sleeping bag, you should be aware of two things: how you sleep and your height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-my-neck-always-hurts-when-i-sleep-in-a-tent\">\u201dMy neck always hurts when I sleep in a tent&#8230;&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/therm-a-rest-compressible-pillow-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/therm-a-rest-compressible-pillow-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"A dark blue sleeping pillow.\" class=\"wp-image-1097\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">For those who like to be a bit more comfortable<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Who says you can\u2019t have a pillow? There are excellent travel pillows out there, but if you\u2019d rather do without the extra bulk, you always have the option of filling up a stuff sack with clothing and using that as a pillow instead. After all, it doesn\u2019t always have to be a perfect square!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-it-s-all-about-the-mat\">It\u2019s all about the mat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are so many sleeping mats out there, and the differences between them are just as plentiful. But, we\u2019ll talk about that at some other time. The important thing to remember is this: Regardless of how low a sleeping bag\u2019s lower limit rating is, if the sleeping mat isn\u2019t up to par, you\u2019ll be cold. Trying to save money or room by ditching the sleeping mat will bite you in the bum!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a class=\"a-button a-button--green block\" title=\"Sleep well in our sleeping bags\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/sleeping-bags\/\">Find sleeping bags here &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You need to sleep well at night to perform well during the day.
