Interesting points all round . Whatever type bag you have you may  find the care
tips at the following link useful :

http://www.stikage.com/guide_sleepcare.htm

The only care tip I am aware of not mentioned on the above web page is that when
drying - in a clothes dryer  , especially a down bag , toss in some tennis balls
to help break up clumps of down filler . I don't usually have any tennis balls
around but I suppose a pair of sneakers in need of a wash and dry would do the
same . With a seven year old son it is usually  no problem to find a pair or two
or three in need of a wash up and spin dry .



Anyone have other useful tips to extend the life or utility of a sleeping bag ?
