The Best Sleeping Bags for 2024
Our testers are always on the hunt for the best sleeping bags that can make their outdoor overnights more comfortable, more fun, and hopefully more affordable. Sleeping bag designs, however, can be as complicated and varied as the people who snuggle up inside them. To better make sense of it all, we highlight some of our favorite bags that span different materials, weights, warmth ratings, and applications. We tested these bags on family camping trips, fast and light backpacking adventures, and remote winter expeditions. We present them here in the hope that you can find the best sleeping bag for you, no matter your needs or budget.
Our reviews include the best camping sleeping bags ideal for families, as well as our favorite backpacking sleeping bags for multi-night adventures, ultralight sleeping bags for fast and light backpacking, and budget options for those looking for a functional bag that will do the job without breaking the bank. Depending on your preferred camping style, we've also outlined some of our favorite tents to help you set up your perfect home away from home. If you feel the need to up your camping game all around, we have compiled a camping list that includes all of our favorite items to take on a weekend (or weeklong) adventure.
Editor's Note: We updated our sleeping bag review on May 2, 2024, to include more information on the best features of our award-winning bags and provide more tips on who they are for.
