Another thing that I was told is that sleeping bags use body heat to warm up the fibres (and the air within the fibres) which in turn keeps you warm.

My daughter uses a sleeping pod from Gelert similar to the below, and again she was only in PJs, I think she may have had a blanket but cant remember, and she wasn't cold either. Sleeping bags work by retaining your body heat within the insulating material (loft) whilst allowing moisture to escape.When our boys were younger, they had 2 season bags, but we took zipup fleece liners, and a brush cotton one that I made, so we could layer to match the temperatures.

Sleeping bag wise, we have 2-3 season ones for summer months, but always have extra blankets just in case. They should get warmer as the heat builds up but if you wear too many clothes the heat from your body doesn't warm the sleeping bag thus rendering it ineffective.

I have been away when there has been frost on the tent in the morning and not been cold once in my sleeping bag, so I would have thought at 8 degrees you would have been fine? Offering a much more convenient alternative to an airbed, this soft sleeping mat will insulate you from ground temperatures below freezing and provide 7. Perfect for couples or singles looking for extra freedom to move, it's a top choice for casual camping weekends. We recommend storing the mat whilst inflated and unrolled between uses to maintain long-term performance.
