A good night’s rest while camping matters — it’s one of the main reasons to run a rooftop tent in the first place. Jeep rentals are paused at the moment, but people still ask what we slept in and what we’d buy today.
The Sierra Designs Frontcountry Bed bags we used have been discontinued. The closest thing on the market now is Kelty’s zipperless line — the same idea, an oversized integrated comforter instead of a mummy bag and a zipper digging into your side. Below is what we’d put in the tent today, along with the liner and blanket we always ran alongside it.

Kelty Tru.Comfort Doublewide 20
The two-person option. A doublewide bag with patented built-in blankets and a foot vent on each side, so you can share the bed without having to share a temperature. This is what we would put in the tent for a couple.

Kelty Eclipse 35
The single-bag option, and the closest match to the Frontcountry Bed we used to run. Zipperless, with an oversized comforter that behaves like the duvet on your bed at home — you can roll over without dragging a zipper underneath you.

- Oversized integrated comforter with attachment points and insulated hand pockets

- Patented self-sealing footvent for temperature control
- Spacious footbox with room to stretch out

Sea to Summit Premium Silk Sleeping Bag Liner
The luxurious feel of premium AA Grade silk, made even more comfortable by stretch panels running along the main seams, all in a lightweight, easy-care package. We ran a liner in every bag — they wash easily between trips and add a few degrees of warmth.
Roofnest Down Blanket
The Roofnest Down Blanket is a cozy, warm, down-filled blanket perfect for use in addition to your sleeping bag (a full 7′ long x 6′ wide)! Made with high-quality materials – 20 denier fabric and 750 fill-power down – so it’s like a puffy, technical sleeping bag without the zippers and velcro.
