Sleeping bags come in two styles: mummy and rectangular. Mummy sleeping bags usually cost a little more and weigh a little less than rectagular sleeping bags. The mummy bag fits close to your body, whereas the rectangular bag gives you some extra leg and elbow room.

When backpacking, I use a compact lightweight mummy sleeping bag, but when tent camping, I like the roominess of my oversize (and bulky) rectangular sleeping bag.
