My ex-husband is in the market for sleeping bags for himself and my youngest son.  Camping trips are in the offing and I said I'd go on the prowl for some sleeping bag deals; this morning I've discovered these rather fabulous Gelert Sleeping Pods complete with discount; marvellous.

I used to go camping when I was with the Girl Guides and whilst I loved my thick sub-zero friendly sleeping bag, there was just ONE problem with it - it tapered down from top to bottom and I couldn't stretch out and sleep in the position I normally did.

I found this SO frustrating and often felt confined and hemmed in, if I had a Gelert Sleeping Pod I wouldn't have felt that way as they're extra wide to allow you to sleep in whichever spread out position you want to - genius!

There are...

• Standard adult Sleeping Pods available (105cm x 210cm <-----see, you can properly stretch out in that!) in different colours for £24.99 instead £44.99
• Extra large adult Sleeping Pods (110cm x 220cm) for £29.99 and
• Junior Sleeping Pods (82cm x 165cm) for £24.99 instead of £29.99

They all come with a compression sack that stays attached to the bottom of your Sleeping Pod (no more lost sleeping bag bags!) and standard two-day UK delivery is freeeee!

Happy camping!

I know a lot of people don't like the Grobag style baby sleeping bag, but it has been a life-saver for us. My daughter has always hated being covered, even wriggling her way out of swaddling as a new born – a trait that has never changed, meaning she's now regularly covered in mosquito bites.

The sleeping bags have been such a help, keeping her covered in winter for the cold, and covered in summer for the mozzies. When she slept in a cot, it also meant she couldn't climb out and hurt herself.

John Lewis' description also says “Baby sleeping bags prevent the potential danger of overheating by using too much bedding - and of the risk of loose bedding going over baby’s head. They also mean babies can't get their feet stuck between cot bars or climb out of their cots - providing a safer sleeping environment all round.

Other benefits include preventing the scratching of itchy eczema and generally helping to make the move from a Moses basket to a big cot easier to cope with.”

The Baby Floral Sleeping Bag is 1 tog (ideal for summer) and is now£14 - £16, dependant on size. The Baby Bright Green Stripe is 2.5 tog, so, better for winter, and is now £12.00, while the Organic Teddies Sleeping Bag, 2.5 Tog is now £23.00.
