Just got 2 of these Lazy Quilts from Dunelm Mill

£14.99 for a single, £19.99 for a double.  Available in black, dark red, dark blue, brown

Complete with zip around bag and 10.5 tog.  Thought they would be ideal for camping as practical colours, don't need a cover, hate sleeping bags and pack up size back into it's bag is ok (have give up with vacuum bags)

Can also snuggle outside on chair at night in it...

Where's the zip? On the containing bag?

It looks very interesting - the only issue I guess would be if you got it dirty while away - washing and drying it would be a big pain.

yep, it's a zip round bag

they're very light and can't see an issue with washing & drying them at all.  Would fit in a normal washer.  Colours are practical, so sure it would be fine for a weeks camping

(the red is more cherry coloured, not that bright!)

It says not suitable for tumble drying that would be a problem for me

They look great! Do they have matching pillows? I guess they'd need washing more than usual duvets as they are touching you directly. Would that affect their lifespan?

I might get some for my motorhome...

Val - are they shiny on the outside like a sleeping bag?

---

noo they're not shiny, they're a dull matt colour. more cottony feeling

not nasty shiny nylon sleeping bag stuff

no pillows sorry!

 

suppose you could use normal ones as they're all pretty matchable colours
