DesignSalt.com -- Lightweight sleep gear for travelers & backpackers

Press Reviews

By Jeremy Schmidt Universal Press Syndicate Speaking of bedding, Design Salt specializes in sleep systems for travelers, including lightweight bags and liners. The MummyLiner™ Coupler is 100 % silk. Luxurious to the touch, it can be zipped to another one to make a double. In warm climates, the liner could be all the bedding you need, and it nearly fits in a pocket.	Design Salt’s liner dried in less than 30 minutes on the same line, even though it was thoroughly soaked from being left in a downpour. It was, well, silky and smooth, and literally a dream to sleep in. At a mere 4.7 ounces, the silk liner is also the lightest of the bunch.

It may be all the bag you’ll need. The top-of-the-line silk model - our favorite - weighs just over four ounces and stuffs into a five-by-seven-inch pouch.	Slide into Design Salt’s TravelSheet™, a one-person fabric “envelope” that puts distance between you and the blanket.

Cocoon® has developed sleep gear aimed at travelers who like to pack light. The company offers a variety of sleeping bags that are lightweight and easy to store. The extremely portable bags come in various styles and materials, from cotton to silk, to suit the needs of most any kind of traveler. From backpackers to business jet setters, Cocoon® has warm weather and cold weather bags, which can be stored in a sack no bigger than a coconut. The bag can be used for camping or in hotel rooms and double-size bags are also available which sleep two. Cocoon® also offers sleep gear for children and a variety of accessories, such as storage sacks	Sleeping bag liners that serve to keep you warmer and more comfortable and your sleeping bag cleaner are an important part of your family’s camping gear.

Here’s a children’s outdoor sleeping ensemble that’s really worth its salt. Design Salt’s new Outdoor Blanket™/Sleeping Bag Kidbag™ Fleece for kids (up to 5 feet tall) are perfect for making sure your kids get a good night’s sleep under the stars. The OutdoorBlanket™/sleeping bag portion of this system unzips to an 86 x 64-inch blanket, has a ripstop nylon shell and two pillow pocket inserts. Comfortable is the operative word here; this bag’s good night’s sleep quotient is so high, it will get your kids up and going long before the rooster crows. (So, parents, forget sleeping in.) And, because we all know that being a wet blanket is no picnic, the OutdoorBlanket™’s ripstop nylon shell guarantees that one side of the blanket is dry enough for a diminutive (or not) derriere to alight upon during a family clambake. Great for campfire lounging, or as an emergency sleeping bag/blanket, the outdoor blanket/sleeping bag comes complete with a fleece-lined stuffsack that can be turned inside out for a cozy pillowcase.

Design Salt’s TravelSheet™ Couplers™, which are made from either pure cotton, an Egyptian cotton-silk blend or pure silk, are meant for sensuous outdoor experiences.	Design Salt can turn the staunchest camping minimalist into a hedonist with their sensuous SleepSystems.
