Sleeping bag liners

A thin liner mainly provides a washable inner layer. A cold night in a tent needs a suitable sleeping bag or quilt and a sleeping mat. Plan around the expected overnight temperature rather than the name of the product.

A blanket is versatile but can open at the sides while you sleep. A purpose-built quilt may have a footbox and mat attachments. Compare those details if you intend to use it as part of your sleeping system.

A rectangular liner gives you room in bed, and a pillow pocket can cover the head area. Ask the hut about its current requirements. Sleeping in an unheated winter room calls for considerably more insulation.

Follow the fabric's care label and dry it fully before packing it away. Silk and wool need different care from cotton or synthetic fabrics. For an insulated blanket, follow the instructions for its filling as well.
