A mummy-shaped sleeping bag.

The method used to hold fill inside affects the warmth of a sleeping bag. Down fill has to be held in chambers, which give the familiar ringed or ribbed look, to keep it evenly distributed throughout the bag. To create these chambers, the inner and outer fabrics are attached in sections. The simplest and lightest way of doing this is with straight-through or sewn-through stitching (also known as quilting). This method is adequate only for bags designed for above-freezing temperatures because heat escapes through the stitch lines and cold air can blow in through them. Most of the lightest bags use sewn-through stitching.
