Sleeping Gear

What’s the first thing you do when you go camping? Most people pitch their tent, unroll their sleeping bag, and get ready for a relaxing night under the stars. With a sleeping bag and camping mattress, you’ll sleep just as comfortably as you do at home.

What kind of sleeping gear is available for a camper?

Just because you are sleeping in the great outdoors doesn’t mean you can’t be comfortable. For comfort, you’ll want to take along a sleeping bag for everyone in the family. Sleeping bags are available for kids and adult sizes, and you can find them in single or double sizes with two pillows. They have full zipper enclosures, will keep you cozy when the temperatures dip into the negatives, and roll up into an easy-to-carry pouch.

Air beds are a great addition to any tent. They blow up with an included pump, are available in single, double, or queen sizes, and some types have velour tops to make every night in your tent cozy. Sleeping pads or camping pads can also be placed under your sleeping bag, and you can find types that are thin, light, and self-inflating or come as part of a carry-all bag.

To improve your sleep quality while camping, you can bring along camping accessories like a camping pillow or two. There’s also air pumps you can use to quickly inflate any camping mattress.

Which type of sleeping system should I choose for camping?

When considering what type of sleeping system you should choose for camping, you’ll want to decide on what type of camping you’ll do. If you’re camping in colder climates, you’ll want to make sure you’re warm and comfortable with a cold weather rated sleeping bag. If you’re only camping in the summer, a lightweight sleeping bag will be exactly what you need.

You’ll want to consider your comfort expectations and your time. When camping, do you want to sleep as comfortably as you do at home? If so, you’ll want to bring along an inflatable camping mattress. Just keep in mind you’ll need to spend the time to inflate it.

If you like the idea of roughing it, a simple camping sleeping pad will provide a comfortable barrier between you and the floor of your tent. They unroll and re-roll quickly and easily, so they don’t take any time at all to set up.
