If you prefer not to sleep separately while camping, double sleeping bags offer a practical and comfortable alternative. With enough space for two people, they’re great for couples, families, or even solo campers who like the extra room. Sharing a sleeping bag can also help retain body heat on cooler nights, making them a good choice for early spring or autumn camping.
More Room, More Comfort
Unlike standard single bags, double sleeping bags are wider and often feature soft linings and extra cushioning. Many also come with built-in pillows or adjustable hoods for added comfort. This makes them popular not just at campsites, but also for festivals, family holidays, or even occasional indoor use such as sleepovers and guest bedding.
The generous width allows you to move more freely without feeling restricted. Whether you like to spread out or turn over during the night, a double sleeping bag gives you that extra flexibility while still keeping warm.
Versatile Sleeping Options
A lot of double sleeping bags in our range are designed with versatility in mind. Many can be fully unzipped to create a double duvet – ideal if you prefer more freedom when sleeping – or separated into two single sleeping bags if needed. This flexibility makes them a good investment if your sleeping arrangements vary from trip to trip.
Some double sleeping bags are also compatible with airbeds or camp beds designed for two people, which can make a big difference to your overall camping comfort.
Seasonal Ratings and Insulation
Just like single sleeping bags, double bags come in a range of seasonal ratings. If you're camping in the summer, a lighter bag with a breathable lining is often enough. For colder nights, look for double sleeping bags with higher insulation and draft-reducing features such as zip baffles or thermal linings.
At WM Camping, we stock a selection suitable for everything from warm summer trips to cooler UK evenings in spring and autumn.
