Abstract

The invention relates to a suspended sleeping bag comprising upper and lower parts and fixing elements which are arranged on the foot and head ends thereof, thereby making it is possible to fix at two points which are distant with respect to each other and embodied in the form of a rope, strap, ribbon, a cut fabric strip or a strip of another tensile strength material. The lower part, in contrast to the upper part, absorbs tensile forces in a longitudinal direction and leads them to the fixing points along the lines which radially converge in the area of an assembly point or fixing point, respectively. According to said invention, the lower part of the sleeping bag is tailored and/or along the length thereof or the form of the cuts of the fixing elements are dimensioned in such a way that a line which extends along the periphery of the lower part of said sleeping bag from one fixing point to the other is shorter than a line extending (roughly) to a center or crossing the lower part of the sleeping bag therebetween.
