Sleeping bags, sleeping pads, cots, camp pillows, and hammocks compared on warmth ratings, R-value, weight, and comfort.
A warm night outdoors depends on the bag and the pad working together. A sleeping bag's temperature rating tells you how cold it is designed for, while a pad's R-value measures how well it insulates you from the ground, and cold ground drains heat faster than cold air. Down packs smaller and lighter, while synthetic fill handles damp conditions better.
Our guides compare temperature ratings, fill type, shape, packed size, R-values, and weight capacity exactly as each brand lists them. Hammocks get the same treatment, with notes on straps, bug nets, and underquilts. When a listing gives a comfort rating and a lower limit rating, we tell you which one we are quoting.
A pad that lets your shoulder sink too far leaves you waking up numb. These picks are compared on thickness, hip and shoulder support, and packed size.
