Sleeping bag
About
A rolled sleeping bag is a compact cylinder of insulated bedding designed to fit neatly inside a backpack.
Packed size varies widely depending on temperature ratings and whether the insulation is down or synthetic. Ultralight summer models can compress down to the size of a large water bottle, while cold-weather winter bags take up more than twice that space. Once unrolled for sleep, an adult bag typically stretches to about 6 to 6.5 feet (1.8 to 2 m) long.
From Wikipedia
A sleeping bag is an insulated covering for a person, essentially a lightweight quilt that can be closed with a zipper or similar means to form a tube, which functions as lightweight, portable bedding in situations where a person is sleeping outdoors. It is also commonly used indoors for people who do not have beds or at sleepovers.
