We need to buy two new single sleeping bags for caravan that will zip together for a double.

Apparently '3 season' is the grade we need.

We have a budget of £45-50 for each bag.

Any recommendations would be welcomed.& where to buy.

Thanks

I choose 1 season as my caravan is heated at night to 16C. 

I prefer a brushed cotton lining. You need to consider your girth with regard to width.

We've got Coleman Hampton sleeping bags, they are large, soft and flannel lined, nearest thing we could get to home comforts. A bit bulky to store and if it's cold I use a comfy Welsh wool blanket as an extra layer or leave the heating on a low overnight setting. Check out Amazon for special offers. smile

We use two king sized duvets.  One each on single beds folded lengthways.  Lie on half and cover yourself with the other half.  Toasty and easy to wash duvet covers.  Gave up on sleeping bags after camping in the Arctic Circle.

Buy a good sleeping bag, switch off the heating and save the planet. We use a couple of duvalay combined sleeping bags, probably out of the price range suggested, but they do come with memory foam mattress, and you dont need to worry re girth as they are throw over rather than zip up, excellent for snuggling up to your partner.

ah! but it is a one off purchase, think how much Lece we save by not having the heater on all night, as i think some must do, and still have sleeping bagslaughing

As opposed to cotton/polyester bedding or sleeping bags or duvets? Hmm!

well you see, unlike some i do not have a fixed bed in my 2008 caravan and have to utilise the front lounge cushions so the memory foam mattress, is multifuctional, 1. it smoothes out the ridges in the lounge cushions, sure you remember those dreadful ridges, making for a restful and comfortable sleep, i am 72 so this is important for me 2. reduces the wear and tear on the said cushions, thereby hopefully reducing the need for new cushions, expensive, and hopefully means i can continue to use the caravan for many years to come, thereby negatating the expense of buying something new. And after all the douvalay with the exception of the mattress is only a glorified duvet, and we do have cotton liners stitched together from bedsheets that we sleep in.   Would recommend them to anybody with an oldish caravan that have problems sleeping on seat cushions, economical and practical.
