Folding a sleeping bag correctly is essential for maintaining its shape and prolonging its lifespan. When a sleeping bag is folded haphazardly, the insulation can become compressed and lose its effectiveness. This can lead to cold spots and a less comfortable night’s sleep.
There are a few different ways to fold a sleeping bag, but the most common and effective method is the “envelope fold.” To do this, first lay the sleeping bag out on a flat surface. Then, fold one side of the sleeping bag over the other, making sure that the edges line up. Next, fold the bottom of the sleeping bag up to meet the top, and then fold the sides in towards the center. Finally, roll the sleeping bag up from the bottom, starting with the end that has the hood.
