Sleeping bag liner?

Does anybody use a Sleeping Bag Liner at all?

I've seen these advertised in a few places and the benefits include ........

keeping a sleeping bag clean
prolonging s/bag life
more hygienic than bag on its own
can be used on their own on summer
extra layer add warmth

Any thoughts on these? I'm a cold arse so anything that helps keep the heat in a bonus to me

I use a silk one quiet nice and soft over nylon lining of most sleeping bags

If you want to keep your sleeping bag clean and make it last longer then a liner is a must.
You will however have endless nightmares where you have your legs tied together (kidnapped, bungee jumping, attacked by pythons, BDSM etc)

They're not just for sleeping bags. I went travelling with some friends a few years ago and one of them (the one who'd brought a suitcase the size of a Morris Minor whilst the rest of us just had backpacks) had a sleeping bag liner in preparation for some of the less than 5* establishments we planned to sleep in. I laughed at first... until I saw the sheets. The last laugh most definitely belonged to her.

Looks like it might be a worthwhile investment then. Given their relatively low price i'll pick up when I can.

Not gonna worry about that. Have done all those things except being Kidnapped.

Wow, nice experience. Love to hear it.

Got one on order. Found a polycotton one from Trespass for £5.99 so that'll do me nicely.

I'm going to Germany for a week very shortly so i'll take this along to doss in instead of the hotel sheets. If the story recounted earlier is anything to go by, I don't want to sleeping in sheets with stains from many untold bodily fluids

I'd recommend a silk liner if poss; better at regulating temp especially in high heat as it doesn't soak up sweat. Packs smaller and dries within minutes. Always easier to wash a liner as opposed to a bag and good for travel as it helps keep unkempt mattresses at a distance; albeit a small one!
I wouldn't be without mine from snugpak having replaced my rab one I had for many years.

I've found kicking your boots off and getting into a liner inside a g-tex bivvi is ample warmth for a short rest during our 'warmer' months
