SLEEPING BAGS<\/strong><\/p>\n When it\u2019s time to purchase a sleeping bag<\/strong><\/a> for camping, be realistic! There\u2019s no point buying a top of the range -15 rated model when you\u2019re camping in Far North QLD or paying double the price for a camping sleeping bag that\u2019s 0.5kg lighter if you\u2019re not going lightweight backpacking. Once you\u2019ve decided what you actually need your king size sleeping bag for, you can drastically narrow down the selection. Pay careful attention when it comes to the temperature ratings as they often differ between manufacturers. And make sure the length and width of the bag is a comfortable match before you lay down the cash. Nobody wants an itchy night\u2019s sleep, so make sure you check the material\u2019s texture is right for you. Once you\u2019ve chosen the right sleeping bag, you can enjoy comfortable uninterrupted sleep.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n SELF-INFLATING MATTRESSES<\/strong><\/p>\n When it comes to a good night\u2019s sleep, you\u2019d have to agree it\u2019s hard to beat a nice self-inflating mattress<\/strong><\/a> to lay your sleeping bag down on. These mattresses basically consist of a tough out layer usually made from polyester or vinyl, a nice thick foam inner layer and a few air inlet valves. Just open the valves when you arrive at camp and as the foam expands, the mattress inflates by itself – it\u2019s that easy! The extra thickness means there\u2019s great insulation but the downside is it also means they take up a lot of room. However a quality self inflating queen size mattress can be so comfortable that you can simply lay your sleeping bag for camping right down on top of it for a comfy night\u2019s sleep!<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n
