Benefits Explained

 

1. Warmth

Sleeping bag liners can add valuable extra degrees of warmth to your current sleeping bag. Like an extra blanket on a bed, placing a liner inside your bag provides a layer of insulation to help you stay at a comfortable temperature on cold nights.

 

2. Hygiene

A sleeping bag liner creates a barrier between you and your sleeping bag. Most people wouldn’t sleep in their bed over and over again without changing their sheets. However, many people will use their sleeping bag consecutively without washing it, which can lead to the accumulation of dirt and sweat. This is something which is likely to be worsened by the fact that sleeping bags are often used in situations where sweat and dirt will be accumulated, such as festivals, camping and hiking. Liners can help keep your sleeping bag clean by preventing dirt and sweat reaching it.

 

3. Extend the Life of Your Current Sleeping Bag

Sleeping bag liners can be easily removed from the sleeping bag and washed, which not only improves hygiene but also reduces the need to wash the bag itself. This should allow you to extend the life of your sleeping bag.

 

4. Use as a Standalone Sheet for Travelers

Alongside use inside sleeping bags, liners can be used on their own as a sheet in warm weather.

 

5. Protection Against Insect Bites

Liners add an extra layer of protection against insect bites. If you’re heading to a destination where insects will be an issue, choose a silk liner as these will provide the best protection against insect bites.

 

6. Use in Hostels and Hotels as Protection Against Contaminated Sheets

If you’re travelling the world your accommodation may not always be of a high standard. Travelling with a sleeping bag liner is a lightweight solution to ensure you can sleep comfortably with protection against contaminated sheets.


Shapes

Mummy Sleeping Bag Liner

 

Mummy

These sleeping bag liners are designed to fit inside a mummy sleeping bag. As mummy sleeping bags are tapered towards the bottom, they provide a closer fit than regular sleeping bags so should provide extra warmth in the winter.

 

Regular

Standard sleeping bag liners are designed to fit inside sleeping bags which are not a mummy shape. This shape is also great for use as a standalone sheet on warm summer nights or as an extra layer of comfort when staying in hostels while travelling.

 


Sleeping bag liners are a lightweight and compact way to improve the hygiene, comfort and warmth of your sleeping bag. Mountain Warehouse has a fantastic selection of liners available from £9.99.
