I bought a Tesco Extreme mummy sleeping bag yesterday, £29something. Not bad I thought for a 400g/m sleeping bag.
i am about 5' 10" and around 14 stone (i'd like to say pure muscle, but some has sliped). I tried it last night,Its like a second skin :( . I couldent even get my arms in. Just wanted to warn you if you are bigger than Kate Moss dont bother with these.

Convert it into a hammock underblanket!
Did your thumb fit in?
Send me another pm with your contact details and directions - the first was a blank - and I may be able to help you out with a REALsleeping bag at minimal cost...

Similar experience here, I could get in without difficulty (or clothes :) ) but it was a bit "Speedo - Second Skin" so I figured I'd unzip it and use it as a blanket now I've got my lovely underblanket.

I got one from Lidel last year and I was very happy with it , think it was around £20 packs quite small and keeps me nice and warm , thermo something or other was the name will have to check.
My nine year old needs a new sleeping bag. She 4'5" and growing up to be narrow build. Is this bag good enough in other ways apart from size? I don't like the idea of children been cold in any way.

Apart from the size the bag seemed to be OK it would easily be big enough for a nine year old.
