Nemo Tempo
Best spacious sleeping bag for side sleepers seeking maximum comfort.
Finally, a sleeping bag that understands side sleepers don't want to be mummified. The unique spoon shape offers crucial room for your knees and elbows, though you sacrifice the weight savings of a traditional, tighter cut. It’s a cozy, sustainable compromise that prioritizes actual comfort over shaving every possible gram.
