10 Reviews: Best Sleeping Bag for Fat Guys (Jun 2023)

Except for the size, which allows for a tighter leg area, this Coleman Mummy sleeping bag is practically perfect for big and tall adults. It keeps you warm in 0°F temperatures, and the plush inner lining ensures optimal comfort while sleeping. Only the Coleman Big Basin and the H&B Katahdin come close to matching the quality of this bag among mummy-shaped sleeping bags for big and tall adults. With such remarkable characteristics, you’ll be able to withstand temperatures as low as 10 degrees Fahrenheit. The bag is also lightweight, at only 5.8 pounds, making it ideal for camping.

"Purchased this for elk hunting in the winter. Lowest the temps have gotten is in the 20's and one night it was snowing, but I stayed perfectly warm in a tent with this sleeping bag. I'm 5'9, 200, and there is plenty of room inside it for me. I don't feel cramped and my feet do not touch the end. The bag fits snug around my shoulders (but not uncomfortable tight) which helps keep in warm air throughout the night. .."

It has a half-circle mummy-style hood and a soft poly-flannel lining. This pattern will keep you warm while also keeping your pillow clean if you choose to use one. Teton’s Celsius sleeping bag for big and tall males is also rather outstanding in terms of how well it fits. Even if you’re over 300 pounds, you’ll be able to sleep and fit comfortably within this bag. It also includes a compression pack that allows you to simply put the sleeping bag inside and transport it.

"..The Teton XXL sleeping bag is super comfortable. I love that the foot area does not unzip since its usually the zipper on the foot area of bags that comes undone just when you dont want it to. This bag is simple to zip up and down, i dont have to wrestle with fabric, or baffles because it all stays in place as it should. Its wide and long enough for even a large, tall man.."

The Coleman Big Basin 15 is people’s favorite due to the more than 10.000 reviews available because of its size and mummy-shaped design. It’s the perfect bag for someone taller than 6′ 3″ and with enough weight to fill it. You won’t appreciate the comfort of this sleeping bag unless you’re a truly huge guy. If you are, though, you will appreciate how relaxing it is to sleep in one. Before purchasing this bag, bear in mind that it is quite large, therefore it may not be the best sleeping bag for tall men going backpacking.

"I got this bag to go over the outside of my camping hammock. It is massive, and has openings at both ends. I did end up modifying it eventually to work even better but it worked well without changes as well. It has kept me very warm while camping. ..."

The Kelty Cosmic mummy sleeping bag for big guys is the ideal backpacking companion. It features a temperature rating of 20 degrees Fahrenheit, which is accurate and allows you to sleep peacefully. This sleeping bag weighs just under 3 pounds, so it’ll be easy to transport while traveling or camping. And it will comfortably suit someone up to 6′ 6″. It’s also water-resistant and insulated with a 600-fill drawdown for the best warmth-to-weight ratio of any bag.

"I just returned from 5 nights of camping in Utah where the overnight temps were in the high 20s/low 30s and this bag kept me comfortably warm. It's slightly roomier than a traditional mummy bag so it's more comfortable for side sleepers. I'm very happy with it. ..."

The Hyke & Byke Katahdin might be the ideal option if you want a lightweight mummy-shaped sleeping bag for camping. It also has hydrophobic insulation and waterproof fabrics, so you won’t have any problems sleeping in it throughout the winter or when there’s a lot of snow. As previously stated, the Hyke & Byke Katahdin is extremely light, weighing only 3.91 pounds. It’s also available in three sizes, so even if you’re merely fat and short, you’ll be able to find the proper fit. The one we linked, on the other hand, is for big and tall guys up to 6′ 6″.

"Recently used the Hyke and Byke bag on a week-long backpack trip in the Southern Utah canyons . Temperatures ranged from 30-42 degrees. It was very warm, almost too warm. The bag performed well, was easy to pack, and maintained its form. I think it performed as well as the down bags this company makes. Another winner!"

If you prefer to sleep on your side, the Nemo Disco Sleeping Bag is for you. It is one of the more expensive alternatives, but it has all of the necessary functions to justify its cost. The best part is that it is extremely light and comfortably fits people ranging in height from 6′ to 6′ 6″. It’s also available in two temperature ranges: 15 F and 30 F. The characteristic spoon-shaped form of the Nemo Disco sleeping bag for huge guys provides maximum comfort. The Nemo Disco also boasts its characteristic Blanket Fold design, which provides additional comfort and improves the bag’s capacity to regulate warmth.

"Great bag, I have the large size, very comfortable with lots of room to toss and turn. I’m 6’ 3” 245 pounds and this is the only bag I have owned that doesn’t make me feel claustrophobic! Great weight and size for serious back packing."

These bags can function either as two separate sleeping bags or as a single sleeping bag large enough to accommodate a queen. You won’t have to be concerned about the availability of space. In addition, the size makes it possible to roll your bag without having to coil it up, which is an annoying step. It has been demonstrated that the Sleeping Double Sleeping Bag provides sufficient warmth, too, to ensure a cozy night spent outside. The exterior layer is constructed from a durable material that is watertight and is meant to survive the most extreme situations.

"The Sleepingo sleeping bag is really cool. It’s wide and long enough to fit two adults! There’s actually a zipper on each side so you can get out on either side and a Velcro bar on the top of each zipper to keep you zipped in. It’s a really good quality fabric...."

This sleeping bag is 33.5 inches wide and 86.7 inches long, making it ideal for your next camping trip. The SOULOUT is made of goose down, which makes it exceptionally light and comfy. The chest region has been enlarged, allowing you to move around without twisting the bag. The foot area is also quite large and welcoming to your feet. Warm feet are essential for a restful night’s sleep. The SOULOUT Down Sleeping Bag is waterproof and windproof, so you’ll be comfortable and warm all night.

"I recently purchased this sleeping bag, and I am very pleased with it's functionality. I am using the sleeping bag for backpacking, and its compressibility, light weight, warmth, and overall design are game changers when you have limited space like in a 65L backpack. .."

The Lost Dog is a sleeping bag that does not have a hood and may be used either as a primary sleeping bag when the weather is warm or as a backup sleeping bag when the weather is cold. It is insulated with recycled synthetic material and comes with a sleeping pad sleeve. The synthetic insulation in the bag functions better in wet conditions than the down insulation does since it maintains its heat-giving properties even when it is damp. The environmental friendliness of this synthetic insulation can be attributed to the fact that it is constructed from one hundred percent post-consumer recycled polyester that is durable for the fat guys. 

"I?m a hammock camper and this bag is awesome for summer nights...Very durable, my dogs have laid on it, I?ve gotten it dirty and it has held up to it all. Zipper is nice and big and doesn?t get snagged very easily. When it does it?s very easy to pull out without damage. Highly recommend"

Because you have a Kamp-Rite Kitmat Mummy sleeping bag, you won’t have to be concerned about your toes being cold anymore. Amazingly effective at warding off the chill of cold weather while also being handy for other outdoor activities such as scouting, camping, sleepovers, and tailgating! The weight is only approximately four pounds, but it has a heavy-duty construction, incorporating polyester material that is resistant to the elements, and it dries quite rapidly. There is no need for you to be concerned about it because this sleeping bag can endure temperatures as low as 25 degrees and it can be washed in a machine.
