  • Patent number: 7568245
    Abstract: The present invention provides a sleeping bag with additional material at the bottom of the head end, forming a “T”-shaped sleeping bag. The additional material forms the cross of the “T” and provides a greater surface area on which to sleep. This modification allows for more comfort in a wider variety of positions than has been available with standard prior art sleeping bags. The cross of the “T”-shape can accommodate a pillow, if desired, and gives added protection and coverage to the head and shoulders of the user. The cross of the “T” can be removably attached to the main body of the sleeping bag, or can be an integral part of the sleeping bag.
