Your Entry To Paradise

We all love a nice holiday where we know that we can relax and be pampered.  But more and more of us are now also going on less traditional holidays.  The desire to see the world is an increasing feeling amongst students taking a year out from their studies, as well as workers on career breaks.  On these extended trips, unless we are wealthy and can afford to stay at the best hotels, we are likely to find ourselves roughing it a bit – which is all part of the experience.  This is why bed linen, although not the most glamorous item to pack, is certainly one of the more essential.

Standard of hotel

Trying to make you money last is key to prolonging your trip as long as possible and as a result you are going to end up staying in some low standard hotels and huts.  In such cases it could be that the cleanliness of the bed linen is not up to the standards that you are used to.  This is where a thin cotton sleeping bag can come in useful.  You can easily slide into the sleeping bag and lie on top of the provided bedding, or under it of you need its warmth, without ever coming into contact with the dirty sheets.

Some like it hot

When travelling in countries that are hot you may find that the locals use and provide you with a bedding that is thicker than what you need.  Again a cotton sleeping bag can come in, offering you some warmth, but not too much.

The travel itch

If you find yourself exploring areas of a high altitude you will find that the temperature drops dramatically during the night.  Usually you will find that the hotel give you nice thick blankets to protect you from the cold, however they are often made of coarse materials.  Sleeping under the blankets, but inside your own bed linen, will avoid contact with the rough fabric affording you a comfortable night’s sleep.
