Alternative to a down comforter?
 

I am having a tough time locating a nice twin sized down comforter in a heavy (for colder weather) heat range.

I was looking at one on Amazon, and it is out of stock.
Local stores do not have anything I like.

Plus most down comforters only come in white.
White would get dirty while out camping, a darker color would fare much better.

Is there like a Qualofill or warmer synthetic comforter that is suitable for camping when the nights get cold?

I have a nice REI Fat Cat down mummy sleeping bag, but my new tent is setup so you can use full size sheets, as the mattress included is a full.
I have flannel sheets on it now, and just need a good warm comforter.

These guy's at Feathered Friends are local

but very expensive, but their comforters are top notch for down.

The cheapest twin is $219 in an Arctic weight.

How about one of those 12volt electric ones :bigok:. Nothing says camping like powered blankets.

He he, I will already have the ARB fridge/freezer hooked up to the rig, plus the 12v light for the roof of the tent.

Although Wayne does use one in his roof top tent for winter time.
I am looking for something from late April-May through September.

Hmmmm, Google turned up some colored ones.

I will have to check these out.
Any dark color other than white will hold up better.

What about a really hairy girlfriend? :hillbill:

No gorillas please :D

Look how they clean up though once you shave 'em

I ended up buying the one above in dark Navy blue, and Ultra Warmth weight.
Sometimes nights during the summer where I camp can get pretty low, even if it is 80 degrees during the day.

I just hope it is not going to be to warm.
If so, I will try the next stage down.

This is going to be very weird camping with sheets and a comforter.
I am use to down mummy bags most of my life for camping.

Jeez, I don't think I could imagine how warm an arctic weight down comforter would get! If it is too warm though you could always use it as a mattress pad...

It came today!
Slow shipping (shipped on the first from Wisconsin) if you go regular, and it was with the Post Office, so it is impossible to track online since they do not update like Fed Ex and UPS does.

Wow, is all I can say about this thing.
The cotton cover has a nylon type feel to it.
I can not wait to try this out.

It says to stick in a dryer on low heat to fluff it up since it was packed, or open it up and lay it flat for a day to "foof" back up.

It has 35 oz of 500-550 Fill Power Goose Down, so it is going to be toasty :D

I think I will order another one for my bed at home, as that comforter is old, and the down has shifted.

This new one has the sewn through box construction to keep the down from shifting.

Buying through Online Mattress Store Pittsburgh is something I didn't regret though,because not only did I get what I desired the most also have the most decent sleep ever in my life.
