Sleeping Bags & Bedding Camping Blankets & Pillows Air Mattresses, Sleeping Pads, & Pumps Trail-Ready Comfort: Sleeping Bags & Bedding Buying Guide Rest up for the night with ultra-comfortable sleeping bags, crafted for the campground. Before you venture out into the great outdoors, bring along a few comforts from home-like air mattresses, plush pillows, sleeping pads, cots and much more. Whether you're backpacking or just spending a few days at the cabin, sleeping bags are an essential. Select from mummy-style sleeping bags, rectangular sleeping bags and sleeping bags for kids, all available in a variety of colors and styles. And don't forget to pick up the extras, like air pumps for your mattress, linen bags and straps for carrying. Turn to top brands for quality sleeping bags and camp bedding, like The North Face®, Marmot® and Field & Stream®. Before you head outdoors, think about the temperature, climate and nature of your camping trip. These factors will impact which sleeping bag you should select:

Mummy Sleeping Bags are cut for a wider space in the shoulders and a narrow fit in the leg and foot areas. This snug design minimizes dead air for efficient warmth in cold temperatures. Rectangular Sleeping Bags provide added space in the leg and shoulder areas, making them ideal for wide-frame backpackers, or those who move around frequently during sleep. Semi-rectangular bags provide a blend of both styles. Lightweight Sleeping Bags are great for warmer weather and when you are trying to lighten your load on a backpacking trip. Kids' sleeping bags are perfectly sized for little campers. Consider the inner liner of your sleeping bag, and select a material that will feel comfortable as you rest. Browse everything from brushed flannel to innovative thermal reflective materials. For children, select space-saving youth sleeping gear with a smaller fit to keep little ones warm. In what type of environment are you camping? If you're camping in a damp area or for an extended period of time, a cot or air mattress is likely the right choice for you.

Select between sleeping bags built with down or synthetic insulation material. Down provides plush, exceptional warmth at a lighter carry weight, while synthetic materials better handle wet weather and moisture. You can get extra utility with a bag that features loops and pockets, which help stow away small items during your trip.

A higher thread count doesn't mean you're buying a better quality sheet. Yes, higher does NOT mean better. Believe us, we were as shocked as you. We wanted to get to the bottom of this misconception -- obviously -- so we spoke with Nancy Koltes, a luxury linens designer, and Shannon Maher, Assistant Professor at the Fashion Institute of Technology Home Product Development Program who also has a background in bedding, to try to figure out this bed linen lie.

How did the misconception come about? Thread count, which Maher defines as "the number of yarn per square inch" seems to have started as a pretty genius marketing idea. "[It's] an invention of the American market," said Koltes. More specifically, thread count isn't so much a "lie" as it is a falsified way to determine to the quality of sheets, especially when it's used as the only way to determine quality. Just as we attach labels like "low-fat" and "organic" to food, linen retailers extended this to luxury linens in the mid-1990s, Koltes explains. By the early 2000s, the "thread count lie" had reached new levels when the first 1,000-plus thread count linens were introduced. "It's just all promotional. Thread count doesn't represent quality," Koltes says. Nevertheless, it seems to have stuck with customers. Well, what should we do instead? Instead of relying on thread count alone when trying to purchase an excellent sheet, consider these other factors as well: Fiber: According to Maher, the majority of fibers that make up sheets are cotton and you should look for a longer fiber.

"Longer fiber is ideal, because when you spin the yarn, it gives it strength, which means less pilling." Egyptian cotton, which Koltes says is basically the standard of excellence, has a long fiber. Other good high-quality fiber options to look for are pima and supima, organic cotton, cotton-poplin, cotton-polyester and even bamboo. Weave: According to Real Simple, the weave of your sheet "affects the way a sheet feels, the way it looks, its longevity, and its price." There are many different kinds of weaves, but "a percale weave is the most prominent," says Maher. "It's a balanced weave, sort of like a basket weave, and it is a crisper or cooler feel." Maher said another common choice is a sateen weave, which "has a bit of a softer feel to it, and a little warmer than percale." Numbers aren't everything: Even if a sheet has a high thread count, that can be inflated by manipulating the sheet-making process with a low-quality construction or thread. As a general rule, buy above a 200-thread count sheet, and know that anything over an 800-thread count really doesn't matter.

To help protect consumers from inflated thread counts, the Federal Trade Commission does its best to crack down on deceptive techniques and technology designed to increase thread count, as well as deceptive advertising and marketing. Location, location, location: Not all thread is created equal. In an interview with New York Magazine, Amanda Mettler, a textile buyer for Gracious Home, said "I can guarantee a 200 thread count from Italy is better quality than a 1,000 thread count from Pakistan." France and Italy are regarded as some of the best sheet-makers in the business, even though the fiber they use isn't always from those particular countries (such as Egyptian cotton). Price matters: Maher is quick to remind people that "price and quality definitely go together. Bed Bath & Beyond or a Target 700-thread-count sheet is not really going to be the best quality." Finish is everything: Most sheets are "finished" with chemical processes to keep them from wrinkling or shrinking (look for words like "shrinkage control").

Though it's nice not to have wrinkly sheets, try looking for organic cotton which should be chemical-free. Buying the right sheets is a balancing act.

The bright colors of these sheets remind us of the vibrant hues found in Fiesta dinnerware. With a 200 thread count, these sheets are good standard go-tos. Available from Garnet Hill. Made of a cotton-polyester blend, these wrinkle-free sheets are an affordable investment. Available from Bed Bath & Beyond. At 280 thread count, this is an excellent option for everyday standard sheets. And over time, they'll get softer after several washes. If you want something wrinkle-free that's softer than a cotton-polyester-blend, opt for these sateen sheets. The fibers used in weaving these sheets are from the wood pulp of Eucalyptus trees, which keeps your body feeling cool during your sleep.
