[For restless sleepers] A double-layer structure of a sleeping bag and down is the optimal solution for winter bedding at home

Restless sleeper? Eliminate colds. Use a sleeping bag at home.

This is the series for restless sleepers that I have posted about twice before.

If you connect two summer sleeping bags bought for emergencies and use them at home, you are freed from the typical cramped feeling of sleeping bags and can sleep comfortably.

Moreover, even if you toss and turn, the duvet won't come off. You can sleep soundly until morning without catching a chill.

I was so thrilled to find this hack for preventing colds while sleeping that I couldn't stop writing about it.

This time, I will summarize my findings regarding measures for the dead of winter.

Connect summer ones. Keep costs down and get a spacious double-sized bed.

As a review of the previous posts.

First, connect these two sleeping bags.
The way to do it is just to align the zippers of each sleeping bag and pull up the slider.

Furthermore.

In the product photo above, the slippery green side is on the outside, but turn the sleeping bag inside out so the green side is on the inside.

By doing this, the inside becomes slippery, making it easier to move your body and legs while inside the sleeping bag.

Furthermore, the outside (gray) has a matte finish, so the mattress or duvet is less likely to slip.

It is best to use it inside out.

For spring, summer, and autumn, this setup plus opening and closing the zipper for temperature control creates a comfortable futon that won't let you catch a chill even with infinite tossing and turning.

By the way.

Tossing and turning has these roles:

Also, if you cannot roll over smoothly,

I want to sleep in an environment where I can roll over as naturally as possible.

A double-layer structure is the optimal solution for winter sleeping bags. Applying down

For severe winter specifications, I put a down sleeping bag inside an even larger double-sized sleeping bag.

This is what I bought last month.

A down sleeping bag from Naturehike, which is a hot topic among camping gear enthusiasts.

I was able to purchase it for a little over 8,000 yen effectively, thanks to points during an Amazon sale.

This is just the best.

It is a luxury to sleep wrapped in down 360 degrees, not just as a comforter.

By the way, down is warmer when used as close to the skin as possible.

Eliminate the tightness. Open the zipper and turn it into a 'giant belly warmer'

Furthermore.

I happened to notice something while using a down sleeping bag inside a double-sized sleeping bag this time.

Except during extreme cold, it is better to keep the zipper at the foot of the down sleeping bag inside the double-sized one open.

Why?

The first reason is that it makes temperature regulation easier.

If your feet are cold, you can tuck them into the down side to stay warm.

Conversely, if it gets too hot inside the down, you can just stick your feet out.

In other words, you can easily regulate the temperature to some extent by moving your feet in and out.

The second reason is that it relieves you from feeling cramped.

By sticking your feet out up to your shins, the feeling of being cramped is significantly reduced.

It is also easier to toss and turn. It is easier for your body to settle into a comfortable position.

In short, you can sleep without putting any strain on your body.

By sticking your feet out of the down sleeping bag, the down sleeping bag transforms into a giant down "belly warmer" or a down "one-piece dress".

No matter how much you toss and turn, by wearing down over your entire body, you will not catch a cold while sleeping. You will be wrapped in warmth until morning.

Warm and comfortable. Avoid catching a cold while sleeping even if you toss and turn.

In this way, I built a system using a total of three sleeping bags to spend the midwinter comfortably.

A down comforter is extremely warm.

However, because it is light, it easily comes undone if you toss and turn.

Having experienced catching a cold from getting chilled while sleeping every winter, I decided to try using a sleeping bag at home, in a setup that still allows my body to move freely.

I can sleep soundly and warmly until morning.

Not getting chilled while sleeping means I don't have to catch colds repeatedly.

The double sleeping bag setup I introduced this time is a strong style that keeps you perfectly warm in winter.

I look forward to bedtime more than anything.

A key point in choosing a portable power station is whether the manufacturer will take it back for disposal in the future. Some local governments do not accept them (the area where I live is one of them).
Also, choose one that is as small and lightweight as possible.
If you limit its purpose to lighting and gathering information in an emergency, it is low-cost and easy to use in daily life.
