Plus size sleeping sac

[SusanH]

Hi guys, I’m looking for a plus size sleeping sac. I’m not looking for a sleeping bag!!
Plus size as in 240 pounds average height.

Thanks in advance!

So you are looking for what is also called a sleeping bag liner?

I sleep cold so this was my compromise between a silk liner and a sleeping bag. It is also very soft and stretchy so comfortable for me as a fat person.

Here's an extra wide one on Amazon.

I"m a bit bigger that what you described and I used this and was very comfortable.

Sorry! I've made a note to myself to do a write up today.

It's basically just a rectangle with a zipper partly down one side, but I also created an elastic strap system that keeps it securely on the mattress instead of twisted around my body as I sleep.

I made a Google Doc with the instructions:

Sleep sack instructions

Sleep sack instructions I use 45 inch wide 8mm silk habotai fabric that I buy from Dharma Trading. I buy the natural white silk and dye it. I prewash the fabric before dying or cutting. I want the finished size to be the same size as a twin sized bed, which is 39” x 75” (96.5cm X 190.5cm), so I...

Hi! I'd really like to know how you made a silk sleep sack from scratch and where you bought your fabric. Thank you!
