[weesteve]

However, I would recommend spending a bit extra and getting a pod shaped one. Much more comfortable.

can't stand the pod ones. They're ok if you're into being slowly restrained as you roll over to get comfortable....

Would also spend more though, nothing worse than being cold all night.

I guess it's each to their own. I can't stand being 'mummified' and constrained in the old fashioned shaped bag.

This is why I need a new pod sleeping bag. I feel like I'm sleeping in a condom with the mummy ones.

LOL you're all confusing each other

rectangular sleeping bags are the traditional type

mummy bags are those that are snug around you like a cocoon

pod bags are big rounded lozenge shaped ones about the width of a rectangular one but with a hood

carry on. and never buy the cheapest sleeping bag - buy a decent one and avoid all that 'it's cold/hot/sweaty' whinging

Both the rectangular ones and the 'mummy' ones are very claustrophobic, in my opinion. Not only that but they severely restrict a good flowing w*nking motion.

lol i love my mummy one for just that reason though - once all snuggled up i can't do anything but sleep so i do

then occasionally i end up fretting about actually pulling and having to explain my sleeping bag doesn't want to play, but it's yet to actually happen so remains a moot issue

I bought a Gelert pod for less than £20 from Sports Direct online. The lining is a little too slippery and the zip is prone to jam but it's got space in it and is lovely and warm.

[guypjfreak]

if you only want a cheap one take an old blanket old son !!!!!

http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/camping/sleeping-bags if you buy a discount card for a fiver you pay the red prices well worth it.......

or you can just get a good old fashioned army one http://www.militarymart.co.uk/index.php?_a=product&product_id=422 you can buy them cheaper than this old son

How cheap are you wanting to go? First ever festival I went to I bought a £6 sleeping bag from Lidl. Spent the weekend freezing at it barely went upto my shoulders. Learned my lesson and spent money on a Vango sleeping bag and it's been a great investment, always nice and cosy.

Bought a Gelert Pod XL last year and it was brilliant. Really roomy and very light, although bit bulky to carry.

Dont scrimp on a cheap sleeping bag, its one of the most important things you take with you, and make sure the tent is double skinned. I made both mistakes in 2007, nothing worse than not being able to sleep even when knackered.

A real pillow too. It's heaven when you finally do get your head down to try to sleep.

Yup!!! I'd never be intoErotic asphyxiation for this reason! Give me and nice lose any time over the others!

Find a decent pod sleeping bag, you've got plenty of timee to wait out for some sales.

Get a free mail address and sign up to the camping store emails. Check it every couple of weeks and get a decent one when they have a sale on for the price of a cheap one.

[Hello... I'm Johnny Cash]

Another vote for don't buy the cheapest sleeping bag.

I learnt the hard way...

Sports Direct do decent bags at more than reasonable prices.

You get what you pay for !!

I have been camping for over 50 years and the quality of sleeping bags has changed a huge lot during that period so when I started going to festival's I was after a 4 Season bag even although its more expensive than a 3 Season bag.

currently I use a Vango Nitestar 450 - rated 4 Seasons { you need that at Glastonbury }

http://www.vango.co.uk/gb/adventure/323-nitestar-450.html

its about £50 - sure its not cheap but I would rather spend more than freezing my arse off in the late evening just for a few quid.

A good sleeping mat { my one is self inflating } and a good sleeping bag are essential for camping in the UK.

[ColdSideofthePillow]

I've signed up to the most popular camping equipment stores news letters so hopefully ill get some decent deals through in time

I have one that shape and find it more comfortable than the narrow pod ones as you have more room to sprawl. Edited October 19, 2014 by Derby_Dave

My first Glastonbury which was 2011 I took my four seasons sleeping bag which i had had for a number of years, I had generally used it in the winter for camping in snowy conditions. The first night at Glastonbury I had one or two ciders got in my sleeping bag, did it up at the top around my face and lay down on my thermal mat, I woke up in the morning convinced that I had wet myself I had sweat so much, from that night on I only pull it up as far as my chest.

Knitting.
