About this tool
Enter the coldest night temperature you expect, whether you sleep warm or cold, and whether weight matters. The planner tells you what comfort rating to look for in a sleeping bag, how much insulation (R-value) the mat needs, how to split a weight limit between items and what extras help. Ratings are guidance based on common standards (EN/ISO 23537), so check the label and add a margin if you tend to feel the cold.

Frequently asked questions
Which rating should I use: comfort, limit or extreme?
Use the comfort rating for the temperature you expect. Limit is the lowest temperature a cold-tolerant person can sleep without shivering, and extreme is a survival rating, not for a good night's sleep.
What is R-value?
A measure of how well a sleeping mat resists heat loss to the ground. Higher is warmer. Roughly 2 for summer, 3 to 4 for three seasons and 5 or more for winter.
