This is again my second one, great value for money, comfortable used in all weather’s prior. Plenty of space to move around inside quick and easy to set up 5 minutes max.

Really good quality for a fraction of the price compared to other brands. Brought mine for fishing bait and another for spares which I could leave in the back of the car when fishing. They stack on top of one another which is handy for storage. Feel nice and strong and not in any way heavy.

These chairs are brilliant. I found them to be quite comfortable and very sturdy, the moment you put your weight on them they instantly anchor to the floor. They are nicely packed away in the bag provided and just what you need from a folding chair.

This camping chair is great it’s a massive improvement compared to a standard camping chair. Chair is extremely lightweight and the extra padding makes it nice and comfortable. Definitely worth the extra few quid. Comes with a really good quality carry bag with strap.

Getting a decent night’s sleep outdoors

The difference between a good trip and a long one usually comes down to how you slept. Nobody enjoys day two on four hours of broken sleep, and the fix is rarely a more expensive tent. It is what you sleep in and what you sleep on.

Our sleeping bags come in envelope, mummy and capsule shapes across a range of seasons, so you can match the bag to the time of year rather than hoping for the best. Envelope bags give you room to move, mummy bags hold heat better, and season ratings tell you what the bag is actually built for.

What goes underneath matters just as much, and it is the part most people skip. Our camping mats and mattresses sit between you and the ground, which is where most of your body heat disappears overnight. A self inflating mattress adds comfort as well as insulation. Even a thin foam mat makes a noticeable difference against bare groundsheet.

Pair them properly and a cheap bag on a good mat will beat an expensive bag on nothing at all.

Finish the setup with a tent to put it in, a camping lantern so you can find your torch, and a hand warmer for colder nights.

FAQs

Do you need a camping mat as well as a sleeping bag?

Yes, and it makes more difference than upgrading the bag. Most of the heat you lose overnight goes into the ground, and a sleeping bag squashes flat underneath you so it insulates very little there. A mat or mattress is what stops that.

Why am I cold at night even in a good sleeping bag?

Usually it is the ground rather than the bag. Other common causes are going to bed already cold, a bag that is too big for you so there is air to heat, or damp clothing. Eat something before bed, put dry layers on and make sure there is proper insulation underneath you.

What do you need for sleeping at a festival?

Keep it light and easy to carry. A packable sleeping bag and a roll mat will do most festivals, and both fit in a rucksack or trolley. A self inflating mattress is more comfortable if you are driving in and have the space for it.

How should you store sleeping bags between trips?

Loosely rather than stuffed in the compression sack. Long term compression flattens the filling and the bag never quite recovers its warmth. Air it out after a trip, make sure it is dry, then keep it somewhere cool in a larger bag or loose in a cupboard.
