The best sleeping bag available in the market at the moment is mummy shaped. These sleeping bags come in extremely snuggly and body hugging fits. In fact, they have even developed sleeping bags based on the figures of both slim and curvy women. It hugs your body tight, and keeps you from the chilly weather at night. However, it is crucial to bear certain things in mind. Like perhaps, it is unwise to buy a sleeping bag which would make your burst into sweat when the weather is a little warmer than what you had initially predicted.

Also, not to sound sexist, but science has proven that women are colder sleepers. Therefore, a woman should always try to buy a sleeping bag which has a higher comfort rating.

The other form of sleeping bag available in the market is rectangular shaped. The advantage of the rectangular bag over the mummy style bag is that it allows you much more space to roll about.

The third style is the hybrid style. It begins like the rectangular sleeping bag, and then simply tapers down at the feet. Personally, it seems the rectangular style sleeping bag seems like the best bet, in case you're planning to camp out. But to each his owns, so if you think you're a little bit on the heavier side, this might just suit both your needs and your budget.

These sleeping bags also come with zippers and drawstrings which can be opened and closed at will, in order to ensure both warmer conditions for the body as well as breezier ones. One more thing which you should keep in mind while looking for the sleeping bag is, that there are chances you might be hiking. If you're carrying all your gear on your shoulders buying a sleeping bag which is heavy, is probably not a good idea. You would get really tired from carrying such a huge load. It would be better, of course, to find a light sleeping bag which serves your purpose and doesn't gift you with killer shoulder aches later on.

The materials with which these sleeping bags are made of vary from nylon to polyester to canvas to cotton. While nylon and polyester are the traditional materials with which one makes the sleeping bags, canvas is the heaviest material.
