The Guide to Silk Sleeping Bags

Why Use a Sleeping Bag Liner?

A sleeping bag liner is generally used inside a sleeping bag to improve comfort and keep the sleeping bag clean. It can also be used on its own at home or while traveling when the temperature allows you to sleep without a sleeping bag.

Why Choose a Silk Sleeping Bag Liner?

The vast majority of sleeping bag liners are made of synthetic fibers or cotton, mainly for cost reasons. However, silk is the most comfortable material because it doesn’t irritate the skin. Plus, it’s naturally breathable and regulates temperature. This makes it the ideal material for sleeping bag liners.

How good are budget-friendly silk sleeping bag liners?

A victim of their own success, silk sleeping bag liners have been produced by all the major sports retailers, who have competed to offer ever more affordable products—though the quality has inevitably suffered as a result. The fabric is generally thinner, and the liners are smaller in size. The finishes are basic, and the seams aren’t necessarily as durable as those on branded silk sleeping bag liners.

On our website, you’ll find only sleeping bag liners from the Cocoon brand, which is the industry leader in this field. This ensures superior quality and technical performance.

Which size should you choose?

Silk sleeping bag liners are generally available in rectangular and mummy shapes. If you plan to use your sleeping bag liner with a sleeping bag, we recommend choosing the same size as the sleeping bag. If you plan to use the liner on its own, the rectangular version is better suited because it allows more room to move your legs.

There’s also a double size for couples and a children’s size.

Which line should you choose?

There are several lines of silk sleeping bag liners, with the main difference being the fabric’s durability. For occasional use, we recommend the “Eco” model. The “Standard” model is slightly larger and more comfortable. For more intensive use, we recommend the “Ripstop” models, which feature reinforced fabric.
