Sleeping bag - Comparison
Which Origobag suits you?
Find the sleeping bag that matches the way you sleep
A sleeping bag is not just a sleeping bag. Maybe you are looking for something for camping and travelling. Maybe you want a cosy blanket at home that can also be used as a sleeping bag. Or maybe you want to stay warmly wrapped up on the go without feeling restricted.
That is exactly why there are different Origobag models. They differ not only in material, but also in how much freedom of movement, warmth and flexibility you want.
So you do not have to compare for long, we will show you in a simple way which Origobag suits you best.
The quick decision guide
You want something uncomplicated, versatile and cosy?
Then the Origobag Essential is a very good fit for you. It is simple, flexible and can be opened completely with two side zips. This means you can use it as a sleeping bag or as a generous blanket.
Ideal for you if you:
- are looking for a sleeping bag for camping, the sofa, guests or travelling
- like to stay flexible
- also want to use your Origobag as a blanket
- are looking for good value for money
Less ideal if you:
- want a hood
- need arm and foot openings
- want especially high freedom of movement inside the sleeping bag
Our recommendation:
If you are looking for a natural, high-quality all-rounder, the Essential is the right choice.
You want maximum freedom of movement and comfort?
Then the Origobag Premium is your model. It has a hood as well as openings for arms and feet. This means you stay warmly wrapped up while still being able to move — for example when reading, relaxing or enjoying your first coffee in the morning.
Ideal for you if you:
- do not want to feel restricted inside your sleeping bag
- want to stay warmly wrapped up while sitting
- find a hood, arm openings and foot openings practical
- want to use your Origobag in a particularly versatile way
Less ideal if you:
- are looking for the simplest possible sleeping bag and blanket combination
- do not need additional features
- prefer a more price-conscious option
Our recommendation:
If you want more than just a classic sleeping bag, the Premium is the more comfortable choice.

Camel hair, cotton, hemp or silk?
Besides the model, the filling is also important. It affects how warm, light, breathable and easy-care your Origobag feels.
Camel hair
Camel hair is particularly temperature-regulating, breathable and elastic. It provides pleasant warmth without quickly overheating and can contribute to a dry sleeping climate. It is especially well suited for fillings that should be light and warming at the same time.
Recommended for you if you:
- get cold quickly
- want a naturally warm sleeping feel
- sleep outdoors, in a camper or in cooler rooms
- value temperature regulation

- value easy-care materials
- want to use your sleeping bag frequently

Which warmth level do you need?
Every sleeping feel is individual. Some people quickly get warm when sleeping, while others already feel cold with the window slightly open. That is why the Origobags are available in different warmth levels.
Light
The light warmth level suits you well if you mainly want to use your Origobag in warmer nights, in summer, indoors, in a camper or as a cosy extra blanket.
Well suited for:
- summer
- indoor use
- travelling
- people who quickly get warm while sleeping
- mild camping nights
Medium
The medium warmth level is the better choice if you want more warmth or want to use your Origobag in cooler nights as well.
Well suited for:
- cooler nights
- camping in spring or autumn
- people who get cold quickly
- use in a van, camper or holiday home
- a warmer sleeping feel
Our rule of thumb:
If you are unsure and tend to get cold quickly, choose medium. If you sweat easily or mainly use the Origobag in summer, light is probably the better fit.
Which size is right?
The Essential models are available in M with 75 × 200 cm and L with 90 × 220 cm. When used as a blanket, the Essential measures approx. 150 × 200 cm in size M and approx. 180 × 220 cm in size L.
The Premium models are longer due to the hood and cut: M with 75 × 215 cm and L with 90 × 245 cm.
Size M suits you well if:
- you want a more compact version
- you are of average height
- you prefer to use your Origobag closer to the body
Size L suits you well if:
- you are taller
- you want more freedom of movement
- you like to snuggle up generously
- you want to use the Essential as a particularly large blanket
Which Origobag suits which use?
For camping and travelling
If you are looking for a sleeping bag that is cosy, natural and flexible on the go, the Essential Camel Hair is a very good fit. It is versatile, pleasantly warm and can also be used as a blanket.
Recommendation: Essential Camel Hair, light or medium depending on how warm you like to sleep.

Recommendation: Premium Camel Hair, especially if you get cold quickly or want a lot of comfort.
For home, sofa and guests

If you quickly feel restricted in classic sleeping bags, the Premium is the better choice. Thanks to the arm and foot openings, you stay flexible and do not have to get out of the sleeping bag every time you want to move.
