sleeping bag at home

[Madmike]

Use mine all the time, usually on the living room floor, i find it more comfortable then the bed, I have slept on the floor for years, if i sleep in the bed i wake up with all sorts of aches wife gets a good night sleep too

Back in my student days I lived in a freezing house - no central heating and never enough money for the gas meter. I slept under a duvet in my sleeping bag for two years of winters.

Using my sleeping bag tonight at home, sick child in my bed with the wife so I get floor in the kids room. Not tempted to use my kids bed as its a bunk bed and don't trust it with my weight

Me and SWMBO slept on an airbed in sleeping bags for a couple of weeks last winter when we were decorating upstairs. We tried keeping the kids in their beds for routine etc, but they too wanted to 'camp out' in the living room
They were all fine in their 'standard' sleeping bags, but I was sweatin like an oinker in my 3 season!

I've bivi'd.... Middle of winter, bedroom windows open, cup of hot chocco made on the meths stove on bedside table (safely)

Its great having your own place, what happens behind closed doors, stays

did my back in in 2003, tried sleeping on the hardest mattress money can buy, no joy 3 hours interrupted sleep and lots of pain. so floor for me, 10mm mattress and a sleeping bag in winter, in the spring and autumn a couple of Dutch army blankets, nothing in summer. 8 hours sleep and sleep like a baby. Any one with a bad back and I'd say give it a go.

haha great... an indoor survivalist.

I slept in my snugpak sleeper extreme for about 2 weeks on my bed.

Got in in the post and couldnt wait to try it, its so much easier than a feather duvet.
Only reason i stopped was that i didnt want to get it smelly and have to wash it in the machine, i hear it wrecks it.

does anyone else sleep in a sleeping bag in their home, like on their bed?

ha ha i thought i was the only one who did this! i always sleep in my own bag when away with work in digs, work house etc...but the missus has banned me from using me bag in our own home...

I find it much cosier than a normal cover.

Yep... every night...since I slept rough and in a camper through a couple of winters I got used to it and can't seem to kick the habbit
Might be a different story if I wasn't on me own tho

PLUS... It's knackered my Alpkit doss bag...

Sounds more like hibernation to me lol...

I've often set the fishing bed up with sleeping bag in the sitting room when I'm tired, mainly while the missus is watching a good movie on the projector, that just sets it up nice for me to watch the movie n fall asleep when I'm ready, also leaves the missus to turn it all off before she goes up to bed lmao.

i might as well use a sleeping bag tbh i have a single bed with a double douvet, i have it folded in half and sleep inside it basically like a sleeping bag really. dont ask why i sleep like this i have done for the past 12-15 years lol

I hate doing that! I always end up on the floor or the duvet is there and I wake up freezing cold!!!!!!!!!

yes..i have an old lumberjack sleepingbag that i can open all the way and use as a quilt/blanket during cold weather..vince g. 11B Inf..

'Oh I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK, I sleep all night and I work all day,
I cut down trees, I eat my lunch, I got to the lavatoryyyyy,
On Wednesday's I go shopping, and have buttered scones for tea'

Snugpak Jungle bags are great for staying round mates houses and any particularly questionable b&b's!!! I have used mine loads, and packs so small... not great if its much below 7 deg though!

 

[kINGPIN]

I find most sleeping bags are just too restrictive, so no way.

I often pitch my tent in the backyard in the summer. My room is on the 3rd floor but when I use my airco it's either too cold or it's just right but it warms up too fast and I get too hot again. When sleeping in the tent it's a nice cool temperature, much better. It also saves on the electrical bill and environment by not having the use the airco.

whenever im staying round a mates or at my parents i use a sleeping bag, but at home... well at home im trying to find some way to string a hammock between two walls. just need some hooks with enough thread to go into studs and stay in.

I hope they are strong walls - there is an awful lot of force exerted on hammock attachment points. Might be easier to make a hammock stand.
