Is this sleeping bad still ideal for temperatures in the upper 60s or inside a dorm room for overnight visits?

If you like being super warm when you sleep sure! I used it this past summer in 50degree at night temps and was comfortable. ..I'm also the type that can't sleep with socks on and like it to be just a bit nippy when I sleep.... That being said it's by no means a heavy sleeping bag - I purchased a different coleman for my husband with same temperature ratings and his is warmer/thicker. ..makes no sense but it it what it is! .....To thin it out a little maybe wash it a half dozen times before you use it?

Ive had no problems with it being too warm but I sleep with my a/c set pretty low. I have in the past had mattress pads that I thought were hot, I havent noticed that with this one

I live in the desert southwest and keep mine in the corner near a sliding glass door and a big window and mine stays at 54 all the time (I did not set the cooler compartment colder because I have all reds), but I keep my house at 76 degrees. Given the light mine gets during the day I would think you will keep the temperature you want in an 80 degree house

Should work fine provided you have some place to air it out for three days. Can't do it in your dorm room. Check size too

I slept in it in freezing temps in an unexpected early August snow shower during a northern Maine canoe trip - not sure exactly how low it got that night but there was ice and snow all over the ground and in our canoe in the morning. I am a very warm sleeper and made it through all right that night, but it is certainly not built for those conditions. You will survive in it, but you will not be happy in the morning. I would typically opt for a 0 degree down bag if I'm expecting 30 degree temps...gives you a margin of safety and comfort...plus a 700+ fill factor 0 degree down bag weighs about the same as this bag. This bag is well worth the money for a summer bag though.

It depends how cool you keep your house. We set our thermostat at 67 at night in the winter, and my daughter was comfortable most nights. She was cold the nights weather outside was down in the high teens and low 20's. We also have a coverlet over the top, and a fleece blanket and flannel sheets under the cover so you might be just right with sheets and duvet only. Haven't had it through a summer yet.

I purchased the fan for my granddaughter's dorm room and the girls said they had no electrical problems at all. And I'm pretty sure they kept that fan running practically all day when either one of them was in the room. They were on the top floor, and the heat was horrendous with no way to control it. They both had a small Vornado fan which is Excellent for circulating air in the room, but they wanted a fan to put in the window to bring in cool air and both girls said it worked perfectly for them!

I would assume if room was a proper temperature, shouldn't be a problem. Also, mattress buffers. Of course, if in a basement or cold room, could be an issue, I guess.

I keep the temp. in the house at 58* during winter nights.. [We all have down blankets on our beds.] It has to get really cold for the central heat to turn on. I ONLY turn it on when I go to bed and usually the second time I wake up [during the night] I turn it off. My heating bill is much less that my A/C bill in the summers!

Flashing lights mean that it is heating. 78 is preset at the factory. Use the up arrow or plus button to increase the temperature. 78 is too cold for most climates. I run mine at 80 in summer and about 82 in winter but I like a cooler bed. Also to minimize the amount of heating, put a thick blanket or comforter across the entire bed to avoid heat loss.

I would gauge it as medium to warm. I switch out to a quilt in the late spring to fall. Everyone is different, but I would put myself on the cold when going to sleep, then warm up while sleeping scale..=)

It is warmer at the foot end, and I find that a setting of 2 or 3 is great for sleeping, anything higher than that is too warm. I does get warm in the upper portions also and it seems to be pretty even from side to side.

We keep our home at 60 at night too. I bought the 5 inch plush (I think) and love it. I turn it over before going to bed (not sure why, just a habit).

They are just fine at room temperature. I would only use a heater if the temperature dropped below 68.

I've been using this model in LA for almost 10 years in my bedroom and can't live without it during the super hot days, like now. Just remember that it's not an AC. It will not chill the air and you cannot set the temperature. Also, keep a window open because it does put a little moisture in the air, but not a lot, and it will build up in a closed room. You put cold water and ice in the side chute and the air is cooled as it goes out into the room. It's best used in a small area or if used in a larger room aimed at the area where you're sitting/sleeping. My bedroom temperature drops 10-15 degrees cooler than the rest of my apt. when it's in use. It's been running now for more than a week straight with no problems. I hope this helps.

We use this mattress as a permanent bed and find it very comfortable. Still it is not a real mattress and you feel that you are laying on air - so when you get up it feels a little bit shaky like in a rubber boat, but that's just how it is. You are getting used to it and it's way more affordable than a real bed (imagine how easy it is, when you have to another dorm!).

No, not in my bedroom. We do use an airconditioner this time of year, but I guess a foam mattress topper might get a bit hot if you don't have air conditioning in your home.
