Why Choose Mummy Shaped Sleeping Bags?
Mummy shaped sleeping bags are designed with warmth and efficiency in mind. Unlike rectangular sleeping bags, these bags taper towards the feet, reducing the amount of empty space inside. This helps your body retain heat more effectively by limiting air circulation, making them a popular choice for camping in cooler conditions.
Their snug fit also means they tend to be more compact and lightweight, making them easier to carry and pack. If you’re wild camping, hiking, or taking part in expeditions where space and warmth are both important, mummy shaped sleeping bags are a reliable option.
Better Insulation and Fit
One of the main reasons people choose mummy shaped sleeping bags is for their improved insulation. The narrower foot area and shaped hood help trap body heat more efficiently than standard sleeping bags. Many models also include features like drawcord hoods, draft collars, and zip baffles, all designed to prevent heat loss while you sleep.
Because of the closer fit, it’s important to choose the right size. Most mummy sleeping bags come in standard adult sizes, but we also stock junior and extra-long versions for taller campers or growing teens.
Range of Styles for All Conditions
At WM Camping, we offer a variety of mummy shaped sleeping bags to suit different seasons and uses. If you're camping in spring or summer, a lightweight mummy sleeping bag with a lower tog rating may be ideal. For autumn or colder weather, look for options with synthetic or down insulation, rated for lower temperatures.
Some of the bags in our range are ideal for Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) expeditions or Scouts, offering a balance between warmth and weight, while others are geared towards seasoned campers needing a high-performance bag for colder climates.
