From self-inflating sleeping mats and cozy sleeping bags to compact pillows and repair kits, our collection has everything you need to create a comfortable and restful sleep setup, no matter where your adventures take you.
Self-Inflating Sleeping Mats: Comfort on the Go
Our self-inflating sleeping mats are a game-changer for campers who value both comfort and convenience. These mats are designed to inflate automatically when the valve is opened, providing a cushioned surface that insulates you from the cold ground and uneven terrain.
Made from durable materials and available in various sizes and thicknesses, our self-inflating mats strike the perfect balance between portability and comfort, ensuring a restful night's sleep no matter where you pitch your tent.
Sleeping Bags: Cozy Warmth for All Seasons
A quality sleeping bag is an essential piece of gear for any camping trip, and Decathlon offers a wide range of options to suit different climates and personal preferences. Our sleeping bags are designed with advanced insulation technologies, such as synthetic or down fill, to keep you warm and toasty even in the chilliest conditions.
Whether you're embarking on a summer camping trip or braving the winter elements, our sleeping bags come in various temperature ratings, shapes, and sizes, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal warmth for your adventures.
Compact Pillows: Portable Comfort for Your Head
While sleeping bags and mats provide comfort for your body, a good pillow is equally important for supporting your head and neck during those restful nights in the great outdoors. At Decathlon, we offer a range of compact pillows that are lightweight, packable, and easy to carry, yet provide the necessary support for a comfortable sleep.
From inflatable pillows to compressible foam options, our pillows are designed to minimize bulk while maximizing comfort, ensuring you can enjoy a restful slumber no matter how far your adventures take you.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q1. What is the difference between synthetic and down insulation in sleeping bags?
Down insulation, made from the soft underfeathers of ducks or geese, is highly compressible, lightweight, and provides excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for colder temperatures. Synthetic insulation, on the other hand, is made from polyester or other synthetic fibers and is more affordable, moisture-resistant, and retains insulating properties when wet, making it a good choice for damp conditions.
Q2. How do I choose the right sleeping mat thickness?
The thickness of your sleeping mat should be based on the level of cushioning and insulation you require. Thicker mats (3 inches or more) provide better cushioning and insulation from the ground but are heavier and less packable. Thinner mats (1-2 inches) are more lightweight and compact but offer less cushioning and insulation. Consider your camping conditions and personal preferences when selecting the right thickness.
Q3. What is the R-value of a sleeping mat, and why is it important?
The R-value is a measure of a sleeping mat's insulation value or its ability to resist heat flow. A higher R-value indicates better insulation from the cold ground. For most camping conditions, an R-value between 2 and 5 is recommended. Colder temperatures or winter camping may require an R-value of 5 or higher for optimal insulation.
Q4. How do I care for and maintain my sleeping bag?
Proper care and maintenance can significantly extend the lifespan of your sleeping bag. Always store your sleeping bag in a cool, dry place when not in use, and avoid compressing it for extended periods to maintain its loft and insulation properties. Regularly air out your sleeping bag to prevent moisture buildup and odors, and spot clean or machine wash it according to the manufacturer's instructions when necessary.
Q5. Can I use a sleeping bag liner, and what are the benefits?
Yes, using a sleeping bag liner can provide several benefits. Liners help keep your sleeping bag clean by creating a barrier between you and the bag's insulation, extending the time between washes. They can also add extra warmth on colder nights or be used as a lightweight sleeping option in warmer weather. Liners are easy to pack and can be washed more frequently than the sleeping bag itself.
Q6. How do I choose the right sleeping bag temperature rating?
Sleeping bag temperature ratings indicate the lowest temperature at which the bag is designed to keep you warm. When choosing a temperature rating, consider the expected conditions and your personal preferences. For summer camping, a bag rated for 15°C to 5°C (59°F to 41°F) may be sufficient. For colder conditions or winter camping, look for a bag rated for 0°C (32°F) or lower. It's generally better to choose a slightly lower temperature rating than you think you'll need for added warmth and versatility.
Q7. Can I use a sleeping pad or mat with my sleeping bag?
Yes, using a sleeping pad or mat in conjunction with your sleeping bag is highly recommended. Sleeping pads provide insulation from the cold ground and cushioning for added comfort. They also help prevent compression of the sleeping bag's insulation, allowing it to loft properly and retain its warmth. Combining a sleeping bag with a suitable sleeping pad or mat can significantly enhance your overall sleeping experience while camping.
Q8. How do I store my sleeping gear when not in use?
Proper storage is crucial for maintaining the performance and longevity of your sleeping gear. Always store your sleeping bag and mat in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid compressing your sleeping bag for extended periods, as this can cause the insulation to lose its loft. Instead, store it loosely in a breathable storage sack or hang it up. For sleeping mats, store them unrolled or loosely rolled to prevent creasing or damage.
Q9. Can I repair a hole or tear in my sleeping mat or bag?
Yes, minor holes or tears in your sleeping mat or bag can often be repaired using the appropriate repair kit. Decathlon offers repair kits specifically designed for sleeping spares, including adhesives, patches, and instructions. Addressing any damage promptly can help extend the lifespan of your gear and prevent further deterioration.
