Are you looking for a sleeping bag but not sure what's on the market today?
Take an air mattress and a warm sleeping bag and attach them along the sides. The result will essentially be an Inflatable Sleeping Bag. These bags are made mostly for children, though you can find similar products for adults. The concept is original and the result is a very functional product that takes the hassle out of setting up a temporary bed while camping, traveling, or simply making room for overnight guests.
Inflatable sleeping bags are actually small air beds with a sleeping bag attached to the top. The air mattress forms a natural pillow at the top as well. You simply blow them up and crawl in! It doesn't get any simpler than that. You don't have to waste time putting on sheets or worry about a blanket slipping off of a child during the night.
Children love inflatable sleeping bags because they have their own cozy pocket to crawl into. This is especially nice for families with younger children who love to camp out in weather that may not always be ideal for sleeping outdoors. An inflatable sleeping bag will allow children to stay warm and comfortable without having to sleep on the ground or keep a blanket wrapped around their body.
Since virtually all of the inflatable bags currently on the market are for children, many of them have children's characters on the sleeping bag that make them even more appealing. For instance, right now at Amazon you can find inflatable sleeping bags with the following designs:
* High School Musical
* Cars
* Disney Princesses
* Dora
* Thomas the Train
* Spiderman
The characters and designs are on the top inflatable sleeping bag portion of the bed, with the inflatable mattress beneath coming in a solid coordinating color. Searching around with other sites online will deliver an even wider variety of character options, though there aren't very many solid color inflatable sleeping bags currently on the market.
For families looking for a way to accommodate a child who often travels around or spends the night with friends and relatives, an inflatable sleeping bag will be a valuable purchase. For a child who often has friends spend the night or possibly an in-home babysitter who routinely has small children spend the night this product is also a great buy.
For those with less routine use for a sleeping bag you may be able to get away with just having regular sleeping bags on hand, but an inflatable bag really doesn't take up any extra room in storage and will make sleeping on the floor or harder surfaces a lot more comfortable for any child.
The obvious hole in the market right now would be inflatable sleeping bags designed for adults. There are some similar products such as inflatable mats and small inflatable beds that are strong enough for outdoor use, but they do not have the attached sleeping bag on top. Smaller sized adults may still be able to sleep on an inflatable bag designed for children but the childish characters may be a turn off.
Right now, this is an ideal market for parents looking to ensure their children stay comfortable and warm while camping or during family vacations. Many parents are even keeping these on hand for when their children have sleepovers or when family members come to visit for the holidays.
