We dont have a fixed bed, personally they just arent for me. We have traditionally always had sleeping bags in the van ( pull the slates out and make the bed up) But I hate the cold zip.
Does anyone else use the same bed arrangement? Ifrom so what do you do?
Many thanks for helping.

Don't like sleeping bags, hate to be confined. Duvet, not tucked in just loose over the top of me, always hated sheets and blankets would hate to go back to them. OH always tucks his duvet in at the bottom and one side and just draps it over him, he used
to use sleeping bags when in the Army but hated them. I remember trying them when we started camping in a tent, horrible things, I got all knotted up couldn't turn over, then ended up on the zip, no not for me I'm afraid. Much prefer nice fresh 6 tog duvet
and in this weather a nice brushed cotton cover and bottom sheet, lovley and cosy

I'm afraid we've never gone in for sleeping bags. I can't understand the rationale of having a 'state of the art' caravan and then 'camping' in it. I wouldn't sleep in a sleeping bag (too restrictive), so even in our 'tenting' days we had real bedding.

There are no rights and wrongs and it's what suits the individual. You do it your way and I'll do it mine.😎

I am happy with a very lightweight sleeping bag. Never zip it up on the side and so not restrictive as I am not overweight. No more restrictive than a duvet for me. I wear light pollycotton pyjamas and thin cotton socks which keeps the bed clean. As I have a skin condition I have to moisturise legs and ankles anyway. (At home I wear just briefs and moisturise in the mornings).
I find it comfy. Only use the lightest weight as in winter the heating will be set to 17C
Prrrttt !
