Sleeping Bag Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a sleeping bag and a sleeping pad?

A sleeping bag and a sleeping pad might sound like they do the same job, but they’re totally different camping essentials. A sleeping bag is your portable blanket—it keeps you warm, cosy, and protected from the chill. A sleeping pad, on the other hand, is your portable mattress. It adds cushioning and insulates you from the cold, hard ground.

Think of it this way: your sleeping bag is the warm hug, and the sleeping pad is the comfy couch you need to really enjoy it.

How long does a good sleeping bag last?

A good sleeping bag can typically last 3 to 15 years, depending on its quality and maintenance.

Can you sleep in a sleeping bag on the ground?

You can sleep in a sleeping bag on the ground, but it’s not the comfiest option. Without a sleeping pad, you’ll feel every bump and rock, and the cold ground will steal your body heat faster than you can say “goodnight.” A sleeping pad adds that extra layer of comfort and insulation you’ll thank yourself for.

What size sleeping bag should I choose?

The size depends on your height and preferred sleeping style. Make sure there’s enough room to move without leaving too much empty space, as this can reduce insulation efficiency.

Do I need a liner for my sleeping bag?

A liner can add warmth, help keep your envelope sleeping bag clean, and make it easier to maintain. It’s a great accessory for long trips or varying weather conditions.

How do I clean and maintain my sleeping bag?

Naturehike Africa's sleeping bags are washable. Spot-clean dirt and stains with a damp cloth and mild soap. Now that you know what makes a great sleeping bag, it’s time to get one that ticks all the boxes.
