Six steps to store a sleeping bag without long-term compression

Dry your sleeping bag thoroughly and store it loosely in a breathable cotton or mesh sack.

REI notes that prolonged compression can reduce insulation loft. Washing rules still depend on the bag's fill and care label.

0 / 6 done

After your trip, remove the sleeping bag from its travel sack, unzip and spread it open.
Shake out loose grit and spot-clean any dirt in accordance with the care label.
Air it until both the shell and insulation are completely dry; do not seal damp gear.
Do not use a small compressed travel stuff sack for months of storage.
Place the bag loosely in an oversized cotton or mesh storage sack, or store it spread out if space allows.
Choose a cool, dry indoor place and periodically check for dampness, odors or compression.
