Sleeping bag: Comfortable, weatherproof & ideal for camping – variants in the test

Sleeping bag – Camping is an unforgettable way to experience new adventures and escape the stresses of everyday life.
The experience of sleeping under the open sky instead of in your own bed is definitely a formative experience that you won’t soon forget.
Regardless of whether you sleep in a classic tent, in a roof tent on your car or in a tent trailer – in addition to a good mattress, a comfortable sleeping bag is definitely essential.
Find out everything you need to know about suitable options and the benefits of camping here.

Maximum comfort and warmth when camping

As camping is becoming more and more popular and is now associated with a little more luxury and comfort, you should get yourself a suitable sleeping bag, especially if you are a camping beginner.
You can choose between different types, shapes and materials.
As a rule, however, all sleeping bags are well sealed and keep you warm even in very cold temperatures, making them the ideal companion for both summer and winter camping.
However, if you are planning to camp in very cold weather or in the open air, a special winter sleeping bag is recommended!
Good reasons to choose a sleeping bag:

  • Wind and weatherproof
  • Small pack size
  • Keeps you warm in all temperatures
  • Easy to transport and store

Whether down, synthetic fiber or cotton – the sleeping bag replaces your otherwise cozy bed and should therefore ensure that you still feel comfortable and safe during your vacation. The following different sleeping bags are recommended for camping:

Mummy sleeping bag: warm, comfortable & light

Probably the best-known and most popular sleeping bag among enthusiastic campers is the cozy, warm mummy sleeping bag, which has become an indispensable piece of outdoor equipment.
It hugs the body and therefore guarantees optimum insulation performance – whatever the temperature!
Nevertheless, it is very space-saving as it has a small pack size and low weight and is therefore easy to transport and stow away.
However, there are also differences in design and material, so you can choose the right model depending on your preferences, type of camping trip and budget.

You have these advantages with a mummy sleeping bag

  • Optimum insulation performance (keeps you warm even at sub-zero temperatures)
  • Fits snugly to the body
  • Cozy, comfortable and soft
  • Compact pack size
  • Easy to stow away

The classic mummy sleeping bag keeps you nice and warm in any temperature!

More freedom of movement with the blanket sleeping bag

Also popular with campers is the bedrock of sleeping bags: the blanket sleeping bag.
Due to its square shape, it is super spacious and offers sufficient freedom of movement for the upper body and legs.
However, as the name suggests, it can also be quickly and easily opened completely and converted into a blanket.
Although this is practical for sleeping as usual, it does not offer the same warmth as a closed sleeping bag.
This variant is therefore mainly worthwhile for warmer summer days or vacations in very hot regions.

A blanket sleeping bag is suitable for this

  • Freedom of movement for body and legs
  • Can be converted into a blanket
  • Advantageous in very warm regions
  • No sweating in summer

The blanket sleeping bag is ideal for warm regions and camping in summer!

Regardless of which model you choose, the question now is which material is most suitable!

Down sleeping bags: lightweight and good thermal insulation

Of course, there are also differences in material among the different types of sleeping bag.
From down, synthetic fibers and polyester to linen and cotton, there is a wide range on offer.
However, down sleeping bags in particular are becoming increasingly popular with keen campers, as they offer an excellent balance between compact pack size and thermal insulation.
So if you are looking for a good, warm sleeping bag that takes up little space, you should opt for a down sleeping bag and sleep comfortably and carefree even outside your own bed.
A down sleeping bag offers you the following advantages:

  • Compact pack size
  • Easy to stow away
  • Optimum thermal insulation

Synthetic fiber sleeping bags: Inexpensive and comfortable

Sleeping bags made of synthetic fibers are also often used for long camping trips as well as weekend trips.
They keep you reasonably warm and are very comfortable to sleep in.
When rolled up, a synthetic fiber sleeping bag is very small, light and robust and can therefore be easily transported.
Even if you have to make some sacrifices compared to down sleeping bags, their synthetic filling helps to keep moisture out and they are generally cheaper than down sleeping bags.
The advantages of a synthetic fiber sleeping bag:

  • Keeps you very warm and is comfortable
  • Small and sturdy when rolled up
  • Keeps moisture out well
  • Good price-performance ratio

Offroad
Raised and extra stable for road and off-road… What do you do if you are traveling in regions with poor roads or drive an off-road vehicle or SUV whose dome height does not fit conventional trailers? The solution: the off-road tent trailer from CAMPWERK – specially developed for extreme conditions. This unique model impresses with a raised and particularly robust AL-KO chassis that can withstand even the most demanding off-road routes. The entire body is made of lightweight but sturdy aluminum, reinforced with durable stainless steel components. So you are perfectly equipped for any terrain.
Black / Silver
Available now: The CAMPWERK Offroader in the exclusive Black/Silver Edition CAMPWERK is expanding its range and now also offers the popular off-road tent trailer in the coveted Black/Silver Edition. The high-quality aluminium body is completely anodized in matt black, while the mudguards are powder-coated in elegant “Gun Silver Metal”. An absolute eye-catcher on any road and in any terrain!
The off-road trailer from CAMPWERK impresses with its lightweight construction: Thanks to the aluminum body, the base only weighs around 300 kg when empty. With a permissible total weight of 1.5 tons, it offers an impressive payload capacity of up to 1.2 tons – ideal for small excursions, transport and even larger expeditions.

Visually, the trailer blends in perfectly with the appearance of an off-road vehicle or SUV with its coarse-tread MT tires and robust, full-length aluminium mudguards. The mudguards are also designed in such a way that they are ideal for the safe transportation of petrol and water canisters or gas bottles.

To ensure flexibility, the off-roader’s tyres can be individually adapted to the towing vehicle on request, so that only one set of spare wheels is required. The standard ball head coupling can also be optionally replaced with a DIN or NATO eye.
T-drawbar or V-fork ?
Thousands of trailer drivers know the problem of tight spaces only too well: if you drive into a narrow lane and have to turn, it is important to back your car as far as possible against the trailer in order to get around the bend without any problems. With a T-drawbar, you can utilize the maximum steering angle. This is precisely why we at CAMPWERK rely on this tried-and-tested technology – for optimum flexibility and maneuverability, no matter how tight things get.

Material and processing.
The tent fabric of our trailer tents is made from a high-quality, 450 g blended fabric, also known as canvas. This unique combination of cotton and polyester combines the advantages of a natural fiber with those of a modern high-tech material. The result is a robust, breathable fabric that impresses with its pleasant feel and high dimensional stability.

The tent fabric, which is also used by the military, is impregnated and particularly tear-resistant thanks to the ripstop process. In this special weaving technique, thicker threads are woven into the fabric at intervals of around 10-15 millimetres, giving the fabric its characteristic tiled structure and exceptional tear resistance. It goes without saying that our fabrics are opaque and therefore offer optimum protection and privacy.
The basis of our trailer tents is a robust stainless steel frame with a thickness of 3×3 cm. A 1.8 cm thick, water-resistant wooden floor panel is securely fastened to this sturdy frame with stainless steel screws. The frame of the trailer tents is also made of galvanized steel tubing and special stainless steel components that ensure maximum stability. The modern surface finish not only offers a high level of corrosion protection, but also gives the material a pleasant feel and ensures a durable, weatherproof construction.
We rely exclusively on yarn from the German market leader Amann. Thanks to the combination of a cotton core and a high-tenacity polyester core, this yarn is characterized by a particularly high tensile strength and excellent water resistance.

On contact with water, the cotton coating swells and closes the seam holes created during sewing. For additional protection, all seams in the roof area are fitted with a transparent sealing strip to ensure maximum waterproofness.
Less is sometimes more.
We are often asked: What about the water column? For tent fabrics, the impermeability of the fabric is specified in the form of the water column. For cotton tents, this value is usually around 300 to 400 mm. However, our tent fabric offers an exceptionally high water column for cotton fabric of around 750 mm. This means that theoretically more than 75 cm of water can stand on the material before the first drops penetrate.

A major advantage of cotton as a natural raw material is its ability to swell when it gets damp, which provides additional waterproofing. In contrast, synthetic fabrics, which cannot swell, must have a much higher water column (between 3,000 and 10,000 mm, depending on the material) in order to achieve comparable waterproofness.
Good night.
The comfort sleep set consists of a high-quality visco foam mattress that adapts perfectly to the individual body shape, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. The set is complemented by the innovative Froli bed spring system, which guarantees an exceptional sleeping experience. Perfect sleeping comfort in a well thought-out overall package.
Premium mattress.
An excellent mattress is the basis for healthy and restful sleep. Just as every person is unique, their mattress should also be individually tailored to them.
Our premium mattress adapts perfectly to the contours of the body and promotes orthopaedically correct positioning of the spine. Thanks to targeted pressure relief, back muscles and intervertebral discs can relax optimally. The innovative construction and high-quality materials create an ideal sleeping environment.
There are no compromises at CAMPWERK: We rely on flexible visco foam with memory function. The unique combination of supportive foam core and relieving visco foam topper ensures maximum sleeping comfort.
  • Visco-elastic mattress.
  • High-quality Tencel® cover (38 % Tencel®, 62 % polyester).
  • Four practical turning loops.
  • Four-sided zipper.
  • Removable, divisible and washable.
  • Four practical turning loops.
Suspension.
Good ventilation is crucial for your well-being and sleep hygiene. To ensure maximum sleeping comfort, we combine our mattress with an innovative Froli slat base. The flexible spring elements form a comfortable slat base with individually adjustable firmness zones. This combination ensures orthopaedically correct positioning of the body and provides targeted, pressure-relieving support. This effectively prevents tension and one-sided strain. The open, air-permeable cells also enable optimum ventilation and create a healthy sleeping environment.
