travel sleep sacks

[qtwns]

Does anyone have any recommendations for a travel sleep sack? I typically take my own pillow with me when I travel. I slept in a nice hotel last night but did not have my pillow. I laid in bed thinking about my head being on a strange pillow and then started thinking about the rest of the bed. This normally doesn't bother me--I guess because I usually at least have my head on my own pillow. Now all I can think about is my 7-night trip to WDW in Sept. and sleeping in a strange bed. This has never been an issue for me, but I guess I just gave myself the creeps last night.

So, now I am in the market for a reasonably priced (less than $40) and comfortable sleep sack. Any suggestions? Or can anyone at least convince me that I am not losing my mind by suddenly being creeped out over this?

Personally I don't think you should worry about a sleep sack. You should definately take your pillow if that makes you feel more comfortable, but I think anything more than that would be kind of going overboard. Enjoy your vacation

Have you tried Bed, Bath and Beyond??

Hey I actually know someone who uses one! We have a friend who has to travel worldwide for work fixing automated machines. I guess some of the overseas businesses who put him up in local hotels don't always choose the nicest places for him to stay (to say the least ). He bought this travel sack at JC Penney and always takes it with him in case:

He is really sold on them, and tried to talk me into getting some for DH & I for when we travel, but I guess we're lucky and have never felt creeped out anyplace we've ever stayed (yet). Especially not WDW! Of course we have never been to some of the forsaken places he's been to either

I use 2 kinds of travel sheets. if i'm backpacking i use a silk one, mines a cocoon but there are many makes. Because you mention hotels the one i use is made by allersac, very different animal than silk. cotton and zippered , kind like your own sheets. i have not slept on hotel bedding in 22 years no matter how much or how nice the hotel is. my paranoia is scabies based and i don't trust hotels to provide clean bedding, i've had too much experience with bad bedding hygiene.

ricksteves.com has a travel store, and he sells sleep sacks on there.

I take my own pillows and a top sheet as well as a cover for the bed when it's made so I can sit on the bed without worry. First thing I do when I check in is throw a towel down and put the hotel pillows on it in a corner somewhere. I'm trying to avoid the dreaded dust mite. Our pillows have allergen cases.

I made my own sleep sack for international travel. Just get a sheet twice the size you want your sleep sack. I used a queen sized sheet. Fold it in half and sew it up the side. I chose to only sew it up about 1/3 of the way because I'd want to feel like I was in a sleeping bag. The sheet is super light weight and I now use it for international travel and for camping.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I know --for me-- this is an irrational fear especially since we are picky about where we stay and have no allergy issues. But as some of you mentioned, there are some concerns out there. I've never worried about it before, but suddenly I'm all weirded out over it! Maybe I just want to start shopping for my WDW trip and this seems like a valid excuse...
Thanks again!
