Camping has exploded in popularity as many parents take their children for weekend camping trips. Camping in the United Kingdom, even in the summer months, is always a risky business. Not because of potentially encountering Bears or Snakes but due to the uncertain and changeble British weather.

But, as long as yiou have the right camping equipment you and your family can have a lot of fun, regardless of the weather. One of the most important pieces of camping kit has got to be your sleeping bags.

There are a great selection of sleeping bags to choose from these days, some will cost only a few pounds but others can cost a small fortune. So how can you make the right choice for you and your family?

Probably the first consideration is the time of year that you will be using your sleeping bag and where you will be camping. There is really no need to buy an expensive winter quality sleeping bag if you are only ever going to use it during the summer months.

Another consideration is packing. Will you be hiking with your sleeping bag in a backpack or will it never need to be crammed into a small pack? Size and weight will be important factors to bear in mind if you will be carrying your sleeping back in a backpack.

Its also worth considering who the sleeping bag is for, how big they are and what their comfort requirements might be. Some people are never comfortable sleeping within the confines of a sleeping bag and children can often be more comfortable in child sized bags.

Finally there is probably the most important aspect to consider which is, of course, the price. You will find both down filled and polyester filled sleeping bags at a variety of prices. The most expensive sleeping bags are those that are made for all year round and winter use, often down filled.

Your most economical choice is likely to be a polyester fibre filled bag that is suitable for the summer months only. But don’t overlook the need for a good sleeping matt or maybe an airbed if you want the additional comfort.
