Sleep Well: Finding the Right Sleeping Bag
Sleeping bag technology has come a long way from the days of cowboy bedrolls. These days, there are a number of high-tech materials and designs available to keep you warm during the coldest outings. Here's a short list of things to keep in mind when you're shopping for a bag:
Buy for Cold
It's a safe bet that on at least one of your adventures, the nighttime temperature will drop unexpectedly. That's why it's smart to buy a bag that's rated for the lowest possible temperature you expect to face on your camping and backpacking trips. For summer trips, a bag rated at +35 degrees or higher will likely do the trick. If you like to camp in higher elevations in the summer, or if spring and fall outings are in your future, consider bags rated from +10 to +35. Winter adventurers should look for bags in the -10 to +10 range, while those on serious winter alpine climbs and expeditions will want a bag rated lower than -10.
Keep in mind that sleeping bag manufacturers' temperature ratings only estimate the minimum temperature at which the bag will provide warmth. Take these numbers with a grain of salt, as different folks generate different amounts of heat when they sleep. If you're the type who likes to pile on the covers even on warmer nights, go for a bag that's rated ten degrees colder. The opposite is true for "warm" sleepers--a 35-degree bag will probably work for you on a 25-degree night.
Goose or No Goose?
The most important component of any sleeping bag is its insulating material. Modern sleeping bags offer two choices: goose down or synthetic. While both materials have advantages and disadvantages, down bags are considered superior because of their phenomenal warmth-to-weight and warmth-to-bulk ratios. While providing great insulation, down is extremely compressible and light. There's a reason why geese can fly and stay warm through the winter! Down also boasts great long-term durability and will typically retain its insulating properties after years of use.
All of that said, there are many high-quality synthetic bags on the market and synthetic materials are getting better all the time. While a synthetic bag will weigh somewhat more than a down bag at an equivalent temperature rating, synthetic bags perform better when wet. (Yes, the Achilles heel of down is that it loses all insulating properties when wet.) If your trips take you to wet climates, you may want to consider a synthetic bag for this reason alone. Keep in mind, too, that many people are allergic to down--synthetic bags are non-allergenic. Finally, down is considerably more expensive than synthetic, which might tip the balance for adventurers on a budget.
Bags for All Shapes
Sleeping bags come in two basic shapes that reflect their intended use. Mummy-shaped bags offer the best warmth because they conform to the body's contours. This minimizes the amount of body heat the body must put out to maintain a constant temperature. Many mummy bags are offered in women-specific shapes and sizes, as well. Rectangular bags, while they do offer more room to toss and turn, are less thermally efficient because they contain more open air space. Also, they are typically heavier than mummy bags, and are generally not offered with down insulation, making them best suited for car camping or short backpacking trips.
Pad Yourself
No matter what kind of bag you choose, a sleeping pad is a required accessory. Not only do they provide much-needed comfort when sleeping on the ground, pads also offer crucial warmth for your backside, as the weight of your body compresses--and renders virtually useless--the sleeping bag insulation that lies beneath you.

Nice Bargain Price for a Good Sleeping Bag,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The Coleman Oversized Sleeping Bag is big, warm and comfortable. Plenty of room inside if you move while you sleep. This purchase was for my son who is a Boy Scout and he has used the bag 3 times while camping during this past winter. He likes to use it when his friends sleep over and always gives up his bed so he can sleep in the bag. He says it's that comfortable!
The bag is too large and heavy to use if you are backpacking, but it is the best I have seen for a camping trip. I highly recommend this bag for kids and adults who need a larger sleeping bag.

Roomy, Warm, Comfortable - Great Value!,
By William D. Myers "ysfjs (2 Cor. 4:5)" (In the heart of the Fall River Valley - Northen California.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME) Is it roomy? I'm 6'1" 300-325 lbs.; he's 6'2" 275 lbs. Fits great. Is it warm? Certainly within the ranges of usual camping, even in the mountains of Northern California, it does the job. Neither of us has used one in sub-zero temperatures as yet, though. Is it comfortable? The lining material is great, and there's just enough, but not too much taper to the bag, so that your feet don't feel bound up together. Any other conveniences? Yes. The pocket built into the bag is a great place for me to store my glasses in their case, along with a small flashlight, keeping them handy for any nocturnal excursions you may find necessary. Any drawbacks? Minor one: replace the clasp on the drawstring of the stuff sack - it's not sufficiently strong to cinch the bag closed reliably.

Coleman Magellan 10-Degree Sleeping Bag,
By
This review is from: Coleman Magellan 10-Degree Mummy Oversize Sleeping Bag (Sports)
This is the best sleeping bag that I have ever owned. I own a Coleman Peak-1 that I've had for 15 years. It is a traditional "mummy" sleeping bag that is very effective down to 0 degrees. But it limits your ability to move your legs and feet. This bag doesn't and it definitely keeps you warm with the sleeping hood. With the larger bag, it allows more movement and you stay relaxed. I would defintely recomend it to anyone shopping for a new bag.
