Properly storing your sleeping bag after a camping trip is essential to maintain its function and extend its lifespan.
Only a few simple steps are required:
Remove your bag from its pack as soon as you get home
Let it air dry for at the very least 24 hours before putting it away, so that it regains its initial shape
After that, shake your bag thoroughly and store it in a cool and dry place
You can either spread it out underneath your bed, hang in a closet, or keep it in a large breathable cotton/mesh sack
