We use a lightwight single size duvet to lie on and a double medium tog on top. But we have made up our own duvet covers (well, 'er indoors has). One side of the duvet covers are cotton sheets, and the other sides are flannelette sheets. So we have a cool side, and if it's a little chillier we can use the snuggly flannelette side!! Us pensioners feel the cold you know.

We used to use a duvet when camping - never used a sleeping bag - so it's a double duvet all the way for us in our Westy. In fact, we use the one from home, no seperate one for us, and the kids use their singles up in the pop top.

A cheap Woolies single sleeping bag - unzipped all round on the bottom, then a double duvet on top - cosy...............

Same as, but i always have a couple of large blankets just in case it gets a bit chilly. The kids use them to wrap up in when theyre sitting outside and it's not quite so warm.

huh.i sleep in the nuddie.with no blankets/sleeping bags.with all the windows wide open.all year round..

oh rob!! you will get frost bite on yer walnut whip !!

Thanks for the replies. The main message seems to be to buy a standard double sized bed duvet and forget the sleeping bags. Will follow this advise and invest in a snap together 4.5 tog and a 9.5 tog double duvet.

Comfy nights here we come!

Double duvet. Get a feather filled one and it squashes down small for storage. TK Maxx sell cheap(ish) ones.

same here king size duvet for those summer nights and sleeping bags in cupboard for those cold nights. plus a king size fleece sheet for that little extra warmth.

sleeping bag and duvet.. i'm a big softie , and a sleeping bag on the bottom of the bed, like a mattress topper

We use a single duvet on the bottom which is just the right size and a double on top. However as I'm always too hot and he's always too cold think we may resort to two singles for our next trip!

Duvets are the future.

We got a 13.5 tog from Asda, and kept us warm, it was that cold we woke up there was frost inside the windows.

We've tried both but a brushed cotton sheet on the bottom and a double quilt on top,nice and warm.
