Best Double Sleeping Bags

The comfort afforded couples through double sleeping bags is second-to-none. While camping is an escape into solitude, it doesn’t mean that you must forsake all the comforts of modernity—especially your significant other’s warm touch in the cold, Montana night.

Unfortunately, most extra wide sleeping bags aren’t designed for Montana’s weather, which can creep into frigid conditions even during July evenings. If you’re considering purchasing a 2 person sleeping bag, be sure that it has a minimum temperature rating of 20 degrees.

Granted, in 2 person sleeping bags, you have another warm body next to you. However, because king size sleeping bags tend to be rectangular in shape, they don’t contour to your body like mummy sleeping bags, so there’s a greater likelihood of cold spots.

When Double Sleeping Bags Can Be Used

If your Montana vacation in Glacier National Park is going to be spent in the backcountry on trails like Gunsight Pass, than the best sleeping bag for you would be a down, ultralight sleeping bag.

However, if this is a family vacation and you will be hiking in Glacier National Park during the day and car camping at night, you should consider extra wide sleeping bags or double sleeping bags.

Benefits And Drawbacks
Of 2 Person Sleeping Bags

You fall into the category of a car camping family that wants the comforts of an extra wide sleeping bag? These are the benefits of purchasing one:

Your wife/husband/girlfriend/boyfriend lying next to you without a layer of synthetic material between you
More room to wiggle around, but you risk bumping into your loved one and waking them in the middle of the night

On the flip side, there are other aspects you must consider in order to guarantee your comfort in a king sized sleeping bag.

These negative points include:

A bigger tent to provide enough room for your extra wide sleeping bag
Appropriate temperature rating, as the majority of 2 person sleeping bags don’t provide enough warmth for Montana’s weather
Extra wide sleeping bags are only useable if you’re car camping. The bulkiness and added weight make these impossible to use in Glacier National Park’s backcountry
