The 6 Best Cheap Sleeping Bags for Spring, Summer, and Fall
The best you can buy for under $20
Sleep well in the wilderness without breaking the bank - these budget bags are perfect for backpacking and family hikes in mild weather
Get ready for spring and summer with these light, budget sleeping bags. A word of caution – pay attention to the temperature rating! These bags are great for mild weather and to keep you comfy in summer, but they’re not designed for harsh climates or cold. Also consider a sleeping bag liner to help your bag last longer and sleep more comfortably.
Weight: 2.1 lbs
Temperature Rating: Above 50-60 Degrees
Material: 170T Polyester shell and 200GSM Hollow Fiber Filling
Why It’s Our Pick:
This sleeping bag is lightweight, compact, and comes with a water-resistant carry bag. For an inexpensive choice it is perfectly suited to most light backpacking and warm-weather camping, and it comes with a 100% money back guarantee if it doesn’t meet your needs. It’s made of sturdy material and should last all season long with moderate care.
Pros:
The material is soft and comfortable, and it provides some padding as well as warmth. Its storage bag can be squished down to save extra space, and it’s machine-washable for easy post-camping clean up.
Cons:
It’s temperature rated to 25 degrees, but this is very much a lower, keep alive, rather than comfortable camping limit. Don’t expect to sleep well under around 50 degrees or so unless you have additional padding, very warm clothes, or an insulated tent. It’s also narrow when zipped, so if you have broader shoulders, consider using it as a blanket instead of a bag.
Weight: 1.6 lbs
Temperature Rating: 60 Degrees
Material: 380T nylon outer and 190T polyester pongee inner lining
Pros:
The type of material is well thought out, with a waterproof outer cover and soft inner lining. It’s also designed for travel; along with being light, it comes with a compression bag that drops the size to 11″x 5″ for easy packing and storage. There are 5 colors available, making it easy to sort for family trips.
Cons:
They’re narrow and need to be aired out for about 48 hours prior to the first use, or there’s a noticeable smell.
Weight: 3 lbs
Temperature Rating: 60 Degrees
Material: 190T polyester
Pros:
There’s a range of color options, each with its own temperature rating (check the price; the colder bags are around $5 more), so if you need something cooler, there’s still a cheap pick. They can be zipped together for a larger single-size or joint sleeping, and the material is water/weather resistant for less ideal conditions. It comes with a compression storage bag for easy packing and travel.
Cons:
It’s also a narrow bag, and can be a challenge to repack into the compression bag. Some of these are also listed as 4 season bags – be very skeptical and cautious of any winter bag at this price; stick to the 50s and up, or test in the cold at home before relying on it in serious cold weather.
Weight: 3.4 lbs
Temperature Rating: 40 Degrees
Material: 190T polyester
Pros:
This sleeping bag has 2.5 lbs of Insul-therm insulation and S-shaped stitching for a warmer, softer feel. The dual-zipper construction allows for venting at the foot of the bag when used for summer, and it can be zipped together with another bag for a cozy winter sleep.
Cons:
The material is less water resistant and weatherproof, with a tendency to tear easily. If you need something that will see harder wear, this is not the best pick.
Weight: 2.7 lbs
Temperature Rating: Not specified
Material: 290T polyester shell, T/C lining, 250GSM 3D cotton filling
Pros:
It’s a light, soft sleeping bag that can be zipped with another one for a larger sleeping area. There are a range of colors and two styles available, all of which have a 30-day, 100% satisfaction guarantee. The material is water-resistant and machine washable for easy care.
Cons:
The filling is on the thin size, but overall, not a bad bag for the price.
Weight: 2.9 lbs
Temperature Rating: 60 degrees comfort (30 degrees extreme)
Material: 210T polyester exterior, 75D polyester pongee interior
Pros:
Designed to be portable, it can be compressed down to 15”x8” for storage. It’s water resistant with top and bottom zippers for venting and quilt-conversion. It’s filled with high-quality cotton, and stitched to hold the filling in place.
Cons:
It’s a challenge to get back into the compression bag.
