APC Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 You'll murder eachother in a double sleeping bag, unless you can perma-spoon. I need at least half a metre clearance between me and my mrs otherwise I get elbowed and told I'm whistling in my sleep. Or making a click at the back of my throat. To be fair though, she sounds like an abbatoir when she's sleeping. It's disturbing. I love her, obviously, but sometimes I think that I might be best in a separate bed except for mandatory fluid exchanges. The key to a healthy relationship is a good nights sleep after all.

Ray Sheep Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 2 singles that will zip together if you fancy a bit of rumpy pumpy? Thats what me and hubby have gone for - means we are not disturbing each other climbing into bed later or getting up earlier than the other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rachbon Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 millets sell sleeping bags that you can zip together. i used to have them but couldn't figure out how to zip them together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ampersand Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 i tried the joinable sleeping bags, and they were crap. if you want to share with someone, take a duvet. but obviously that's only really practical if you're making your own way there. that's what i'm doing this year.

APC Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 (edited) All the double bags I've seen over here seem not to have as much width & yeah I dunno if they'd pee me off a bit Edited April 28, 2010 by APC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest musiclove123 Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Unless you like getting smacked in the head/chest/back and being sweaty as hell whilst you sleep I would not recommend a double sleeping bag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bexxxxx Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 We used to have a double sleeping bag and it drove me mad cos i kept getting stuck in the side with no zip and therefore no means of escape! Not good if you're hot or need a wee! Last year I bought two singles that zip together and they're a vast improvement. Zipped together, you have a zip on each side which is much better for temperature control and getting out without disturbing the other half too much. And they can obviously also be used as single sleepingbags in their own right. We got two of these from Argos. They're not hardcore camping ones but they suit us fine.

elbongo Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Young love eh! Me and bird now sleep in different compartments. If I had my way it would be separate tents but that would mean me having to carry an extra one in. Obviously this hasn't helped, sorry!

al_coholic Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Single bags all the way for me, much much warmer than a double Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilovelanegan Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Bought 2 single sleeping bags from Sainsbury's of all places about 2 years ago (think they were only about £6 each) and they are brilliant - simple rectangle ones that you can unzip and then zip together. Loads of room for me and fussy boyfriend! Reckon all the big supermarkets or Argos will sell cheap decent ones you can do this with Like this - £10 each now though... http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/sol/shop/sport...hnav=4294960292 Or this! Nice pink floral... http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.206-8558.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Myself and my o/h have got a double sleeping bag. You can get em easy enough , ours is a Coleman Exponent I have just had a look cos we are doing first camping trip of the year at the weekend and I have got it out. She suggested we get one. Only problem we have had was last year , we went camping to Cornwall and i fell on rocks and sprained my wrist but cos I was on holiday I refused to go to A&E thinking sleep and wine would cure it , but when it swelled up during the night I could not sleep , so i got sent to the sleep in the front of the tent - I am not allowed to take it Glasto on my own tho !

MEGABOWL Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 We've been together over 10 years and tried the double sleeping bag thing for a couple of festivals. However, once you factor in the need for loo visits, hangovers, space when it gets hot etc we decided to go back to two doubles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APTID Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 A double sleeping back sounds hellish... I hate waking up on a morning in a boiling hot tent, scrambling to get outside to cool down, as it is - a double bag must make things really warm!! My other half and I will definitely be doing single bags... I'd love to try these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabid Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 We've got a double sleeping bag and we love it, think it's a Vango. Loads of room in it and zips down both sides. I tend to pump out enough heat to power a small town when I'm sleeping and she is always freezing so it works out nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
