Having the right sleeping bag when camping is important. Lack of sleep can easily ruin any trip; trying to get to sleep when you are too cold isn’t a lot of fun, and waking up sweating you butt off is equally unpleasant. The Basalt Single is a sleeping bag from Coleman that promises the ultimate in camping comfort -  it is made from a 100% Polyester Mircofibre shell and 100% Polyester Pongee lining with, you guessed it, 100% Polyester insulation (seriously, keep away from the campfire), comprised of a double layer of Coletherm on top and a single layer Coletherm on the bottom. Coletherm is a synthetic insulation with hollow fibres that create air pockets to retain warmth. It features a high loft for comfort, is compressible and won’t be affected by machine washing. As a Comfort rated sleeping bag, it is suitable for mild weather and will keep you warm at temperatures as low as -3˚C. It has an oversized design, 225 x 80cm, with soft materials to create a sleeping experience that’s more like sleeping in your own bed - this means that the Basalt isn’t suitable for back packing, as even when it is packed down it is still 20 x 40 x 43cm, which is on the large side.

The Basalt has an anti-odour treatment that reduces odour-forming bacteria from growing up to 99%. The ZipPlow prevents the zip from snagging on the surrounding material by ploughing fabric away from the zip, and there is also a built-in inner pocket to keep valuables or small items safe whilst you sleep.

The Basalt is a comfortable sleeping bag and its low cost makes it best suited for summer camping trips or festivals. RRP £37.99
