Thermarest Dorado Duo Sleeping Bag

Type of Sleeping Bag | Dorado Duo HD Sleeping Bag
Sleeping Bag Benefits | One or Two-Person Use, Give Back, Socially Responsible
Fill Material | 650Fill Nikwax Hydrophobic Down
Weight | 2lb 6oz
Price of Sleeping Bag | $290

We’ll begin our list of the top sleeping bags with our Thermarest review. This sleeping bag is ideal for outdoorsy types, whether you’re car camping or taking a weekend hike. The bag is lightweight at just over two pounds and is easy to carry, and it’s rated to temperatures as low as 35 degrees for men, 45 for women. What we love even more is that the sleeping bag is suitable for two people. That means less to carry for each of you – you carry the bag and let your partner carry the tent. It’s filled with 650Fill Nikwax Hydrophobic Down, a water-resistant and quick drying material that will keep you warm even in damp weather.

Thermarest is a give back company. The group partners with organizations like American Hiking Society, The Conservation Alliance and Veterans Expeditions to keep the planet clean and keep people outdoors. Every product offered by Thermarest is socially responsible, too, and made under fair trade conditions.

Sleeping Bag Benefits | Recyclable, Fair Trade, Give Back, Sustainable, bluesign Partner
Fill Material | Polyester
Weight | 4 lbs 8 oz

The last on our list of the top sleeping bags is our Marmot review. You may have heard of this company in the past; it’s one of the most well-known sellers of outdoor and hiking gear. The company has consistently taken great strides to support environmental non-profits, has a commitment to fair trade sourcing and manufacture, and is a Bluesign partner. For our review, we’ve selected the Marmot (See on Amazon) Trestles Cold-Weather Mummy Sleeping Bag. This bag is rated for temperatures down to 15 degrees, and is made from 100% recyclable materials. While the bag is slightly heavier than some others on our list, customers agree that the extra weight is worth the softness and extra warmth.

Many customers say this is a great bag for spring camping, and some have even claimed it’s terrific for camping in the desert! If you’re looking for a bag that offers quality and versatility, the Marmot Trestles Sleeping Bag is a good option for you.

Cotopaxi Sueno Sleeping Bag

Type of Sleeping Bag | Sueno Sleeping Bag
Sleeping Bag Benefits | RDS Certified Down, Certified B-Corp, Fair Trade, Sustainable, Green, Give Back
Fill Material | 800 Fill RDS Certified Duck Down
Weight | 2lbs 13oz
Price of Sleeping Bag | $350

Cotopaxi is a Certified B-Corp that we’ve mentioned several times in the past here on Citrus Sleep. The company chooses to give back through the creation of grants; those grants then go to serve the global community through health, education and livelihood initiatives. For this Cotopaxi review, we’ve chosen the Sueno Sleeping Bag. First of all, we love the way it looks! The bag is available in a few “flavors” of color – there’s something appealing for just about every taste. However, there’s more to love. The bag is stuffed with down certified by the Responsible Down Standard. It’s got plenty of features, too, including an integrated pillow pocket, stuff sack and even an insulated media pocket.

This is a fairly lightweight bag, and it’s a versatile one. It’s rated for temperatures down to 15 degrees F, and it can double as a blanket when you choose to zip down the full zipper rather than the partial one. Our favorite review of the Sueno Sleeping Bag stated, “This bag is my most beloved thing.”

Sleeping Bag Benefits | Made in the USA, RDS Certified Down, Family Owned Business, Sustainable, Waterproof

The Plover EX Sleeping Bag from Feathered Friends was designed specifically for women. It’s a lightweight, compact bag that provides a bit of extra foot room and is one of the least bulky we’ve seen. The sleeping bag is rated to withstand temps as low as -25 degrees, so regardless of whether you’re sleeping on the beach or hiking to a frosty mountaintop, you’ll be warm.

As we researched for our Feathered Friends review, we learned two things that we love about the company. First, Feathered Friends is a family owned business. It’s based in Seattle, and each product is made in the USA. Secondly, every feather used by Feathered Friends in production is RDS certified to be responsibly and humanely sourced.

Sleeping Bag Benefits | RDS Certified Down, Sustainable, Cruelty-Free, Ethical Sourcing, Fair Trade
Fill Material | 800F Fill RDS Certified Down
Weight | 1lb 6.9oz

Mountain Hard Wear is one of our favorite outdoors products suppliers. The company has consistently demonstrated a desire to produce products that are eco-friendly, socially responsible and sustainable. Even their retail and facilities operations leave a smaller environmental footprint than many other eco-friendly outdoors companies.

For this Mountain Hard Wear review, we’ve chosen the Heratio Down Sleeping Bag. This bag is great for camping in the spring and fall months, but it’ll keep you warm in temps as low as 28, so if you live in a warmer climate this will suit you just fine. Choose from two sizes of bag, and then select whether your zipper will be on the right or the left. Customers who have used this bag say it’s the perfect solution for hiking and trekking. The bag weighs less than 2 pounds, making it the perfect travel companion. It’s roomy, water resistant and the RDS Certified down offers plenty of insulation for those who tend to “sleep cool.”

Coleman Green Valley 30 Degree Sleeping Bag

Type of Sleeping Bag | Green Valley Sleeping Bag
Sleeping Bag Benefits | Sustainable, Interlocking, Machine Washable, Military Discounts 
Fill Material | Fabric Insulation
Weight | 6 lbs
Price of Sleeping Bag | See on Amazon

The next product on our list of the best sleeping bags is our Coleman review. We specifically chose this bag for families who camp with children. Many aspects of the bag make it ideal for little ones. First, it’s designed to fit people up to 5’ 11” in height. While a tall man may not enjoy the experience, a child certainly will! Secondly, the bag is rated for temps between 30 and 50 degrees: excellent for fall camping!

We also like that two of the Green Valley Sleeping Bags can be zipped together. Big brother and little brother can cozy up together on the same air mattress and still keep warm. The bag is machine washable, so spills and stains are no problem. Coleman (See on Amazon) is an American company that’s long been known for equipping outdoor adventures. The company offers a military discount for service members, veterans and their families through the Veterans Advantage program.

We discovered the Sleepingo (See on Amazon) Double Sleeping Bag and couldn’t pass up the opportunity to write a Sleepingo review. This bag is an interesting one. It’s a Queen XL size, so it’s terrific for family camping trips. Let your kids share a bag while you and your partner share another – everyone will sleep safely, snugly and sustainably! What’s different about this bag, however, is that it can actually be used as two separate bags. Are the kids arguing? Is your partner snoring? Do you just want to go on a solo hike this weekend? Detach the lightweight, 3 pound Sleepingo bag and your problems are solved!

Customers who have bought this eco-friendly sleeping bag rave about the breathability of the fabric. Consumers also say that the bag is extremely easy to get back in the carry case, despite the size of the product.

Price of Sleeping Bag | See on Amazon

The next sleeping bag on our list is our Gold Armour review. Gold Armour (See on Amazon) isn’t one of the most well known names in outdoor gear, but this is one of the most positively reviewed bags on the market. The bag is rated for temperatures down to 32 degrees but customers have slept comfortably in temperatures up to 80 degrees. The bag itself has some nice features. You’ll love the attached pillow – it’s soft and lightweight. The bag isn’t the lightest available, but customers say that even with the additional weight, the weight to warmth ratio makes that worth it. The hood is adjustable and the attached drawstring helps keep out the elements.

People who have used the Gold Armour Mummy Sleeping Bag have done so for a number of reasons. Parents who send their kids to summer camp often choose this bag. It’s also a great choice for slumber parties. Furthermore, the bag measures 89 inches long, so even the tallest of campers will have plenty of room.

Customers who have bought the Emergency Sleeping Bag love the roominess of the product. The footbox is especially impressive, but the whole sleeping bag leaves plenty of wiggle room. Emergency Sleeping Bag reviews also say they experienced minimal drafts.

Fill Material | Polyester Fiber
Weight | 4 lbs

We understand that not everyone is planning to camp out in the Arctic. With that in mind, our Farland review features a good, mid-temp sleeping bag that’s lightweight and eco friendly. The Farland Sleeping Bag is rated for temperatures between 20 and 62 degrees, which means it’s perfect for spring, summer and fall treks.

This bag comes in 14 different colors, so buy one for each member of your family and easily distinguish one from another. The Farland (See on Amazon) sleeping bag is relatively light, weighing 4 pounds. It’s compact when rolled so you can stash it in your pack while you hike, or it can easily be clipped to your pack to save room for your other gear. Two Farland sleeping bags can be connected to create a double sleeping bag. However, bear in mind that the hood is rounded so sharing a pillow won’t be easy! Customers who have used this bag say it’s a great option for kids; it’s a perfect sleepover take-a-long!

An option similar to the Farland sleeping bag is our Canway review. This is an inexpensive option that’s great for family trips to the campground, sleepovers and even hiking. This bag, however, is slightly more tapered at the foot and customers say that helps keep toes warm at night.

A pullcord at the hood keeps the draft away in temperatures as low as 32 degrees. The exterior fabric is waterproof, while the Canway (See on Amazon) Sleeping Bag is filled with recyclable polyester. Our favorite review of this bag was by a customer who said that the bag was so affordable, you could buy two and donate one to a shelter!
