Sharing a tent with a partner or little one? A good double sleeping bag makes a big difference to how well you sleep on a campsite. The Vango Stellar Double is one of our most popular choices for UK couples and families. Here's what it's like, who it suits, and which colour to go for.
What is the Vango Stellar Double?
The Stellar Double is a 3-season, 9 tog square double sleeping bag from Vango. It's made for spring, summer and autumn camping, with synthetic insulation that keeps you warm even in the damp, changeable weather British campsites are known for. The square shape gives two people room to move, and twin zips mean it unzips fully to use as a quilt.
How warm is it?
- Comfort: 4°C
- Limit: -1°C
- Extreme: -16°C (a survival rating, not a comfortable sleeping temperature)
- Suggested usage: 9°C to 20°C
- Tog: 9.0
For most UK camping from Easter to October, that's plenty. On chillier spring or autumn nights, add a fleece liner or blanket and put a good insulated mat underneath. A lot of the cold you feel at night comes up from the ground. For winter camping, choose a 4-season bag.
How big is it?
- Internal length: 213cm
- Internal width: 148cm at both the chest and the foot
- External chest width: 150cm
- Max user height: 190cm
- Weight: 3.85kg
Because it's the same width from top to bottom, there's no squeezed-in feeling at your feet like you get with tapered bags. At 3.85kg it's best suited to car camping, campervans and festivals rather than backpacking.
Key features
- 60% single-hole siliconised hollow fibre / 40% polyester fill

Who is it for?
The Stellar Double suits couples on camping weekends, parents sharing with a child, families on summer holidays, festival-goers, and campervan or motorhome owners who want a duvet-style bag they can leave made up. It also works well as a spare quilt for guests at home.
Choose your colour
The Stellar Double comes in three colours:
- Vango Stellar Double Sleeping Bag – Oasis
- Vango Stellar Double Sleeping Bag – Black
- Vango Stellar Double Sleeping Bag – Harrisa
Black is the practical choice if you want something that hides campsite grubbiness. Oasis and Harrisa add a bit more colour to the tent.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Vango Stellar Double warm enough for camping in the UK?
Yes, for spring, summer and autumn. It has a 4°C comfort rating and a suggested usage range of 9°C to 20°C. Add a liner on colder nights.
Will two adults fit in it?
Yes. It measures 213 x 148cm inside and fits sleepers up to 190cm tall.
Can I use it as a duvet?
Yes. The twin zips open it out fully into a quilt.
Is synthetic better than down for UK camping?
For most UK campers, yes. Synthetic fill keeps its warmth better when it's damp, which suits condensation and wet weather.
