Coleman Tandem Double Sleeping Bag Review – For Big and Tall

Camping – one of the world’s favorite pastimes. No matter whether you prefer to camp in the backwoods of a deep forest park or the not-so-remote area of your own backyard, you will likely find yourself in need of two things (besides the tent, of course). You will need a good, warm sleeping bag like the Coleman Tandem Double Sleeping Bag.

If you’re camping, there is no better way to share the experience than to cuddle up with your partner in a cozy double sleeping bag. A double-wide sleeping bag is not only more practical, as it helps you to conserve body heat, but it’s a lot more cozy, too. If you’re in the market for the best double sleeping bag, consider our review of the Tandem by Coleman.

Coleman Double Sleeping Bag – Features and Benefits

This double sleeping bag has a unique 3-in-1 design that allows it to be zipped apart into two separate sleeping bags if the need arises. It is stuffed with Coletherm hollow polyester insulation, a unique Coleman feature, that allows you to stay warm in temperatures down to 45 degrees Fahrenheit (and this isn’t factoring in body heat from your sleeping buddy, either).

The bag also has a “ComfortCuff,” which encases the back of your head in soft, warm fabric so that there is no need to tote a pillow. It even has an additional built-in detachable sheet to provide additional layering options. A blue removable liner makes it comfortable to use in warmer weather, and also easy to wash in a standard washing machine. You won’t need to hand-wash it.

The sleeping bag also comes equipped with a unique ZipPlow system, which pulls away fabric to prevent snagging during zipping. If you’ve ever found yourself struggling to zip up your sleeping bag in the middle of the night, growing more frustrated by the minute as the material bunches and rips, then this sleeping bag is a good choice for you. No frustration here!

Finally, this double sleeping bag has a Roll Control design and Quick Cord system. While this terminology sounds fancy, it essentially just means that the bag comes with a convenient way to store your gear.  It comes with an additional stuff sack to make it easy to roll it up, fasten it, and carry it with you wherever you go – the bag even has a carry handle. When rolled up, the bag is about fifteen inches tall, fifteen inches long, and twenty-two inches wide, and weighs less than ten pounds.

What We Think About the Coleman Double Sleeping Bag

We’ve found that it works well for our tall friends. If you are over six feet tall and have a hard time finding a suitable double sleeping bag (or if you simply prefer more leg room), then this sleeping bag is for you. We found that it can accommodate most people up to 6’4” in height, with one size fitting most couples easily.

While the size of this sleeping bag is its major attraction, we also like that it’s on the fluffy side of sleeping bags. It’s an insulated bag with warmth and comfort.

When we purchased it, it received pretty good reviews for its durability and ease of use.

We did appreciate how quick and easy it is to zip apart from a single bag into two separate bags. As well as to unzip the additional sides.

If you want to use a queen bed or air mattress, this sleeping bag is the right size for it.

And even better for using for tent camping since it is easy to tote, store, and carry.

Verdict on this Double Sleeping Bag

This is easily one of the best double sleeping bags on the market.

While not designed for extreme cold conditions, it fits most other applications and gives the opportunity for additional layering.

This double sleeping bag is a good budget-friendly option that can be carried while hiking, backpacking, and other types of exploring. It’s practical without you realizing it is there.

With plenty of options for how you use this sleeping bag – double, single, or switching it up as you go – Tandem by Coleman is a good option for finicky campers.

If you are ready to make the leap from a single-person sleeping bag to a double, then this double sleeping bag could be the right pick for you.
