Single summer duvet, single bottom sheet on bunk and a nice warm night heater. Don`t like sleeping bags, make for sweat and make me feel claustrophobic.
Double duvet (to curl up in), single flat sheet (for the bunk) and 2 standard pillows.
If its good enough for me at home, then it’s good enough for me out on the road
Double, feather and down filled duvet, with a memory foam topper on mattress zzzzzzzzz
What’s a gsm? Giant Sized MacDonalds? Good ■■■■ Man?

What’s a gsm?
It’s probably the fill rating of a duvet / sleeping bag

I S’pose that’s where a king size duvet comes in handy
But with you & ang being petite, having a king size duvet would leave a lot of room for manoeuvring
I like sheets and blankets because they fold up nice and small and are easier to carry to the car.
double duvet, sheet and 2 pillows for the week wash on weekends but also spare covers incase weekend out for the next week and spare sleeping bag on top bunk incase gets cold and night heater packs in (lesson learnt 2 yrs ago in the bad snow we had)
GSM is the material density, in grams per square metre. Bigger the number, the warmer it is, but it’s far easier just to look at the temperature range of the bag. Most quality bags will have it printed on the stuff sack. They will have temps for comfort, and for extreme conditions. I.e. you won’t die. Hopefully this sort of thing shouldn’t be necessary inside a truck
I prefer sleeping bags to duvets and pillows, far more cosy when it gets cold. I don’t like my limbs touching the parts of the lorry. I know the inside of the sleeping bag is clean, and only me has been in there.
If you get a good one, with a good quality stuff sack, then it will pack up smaller than any duvet ever will, and more quickly. Which is also a great way to stop any other cheeky sod from using it.
Though I can’t usually get away with one all year round. A winter one gets very cosy in the summer months.
cheers guys some great replys, nice to know yous are all living out on the roads with your home comforts 
out of curiosity, how good are the night heaters? Are they central heating standard or a light blow of warm air?
I don’t use it, use a duvet but, tend to take a good quality sleeping bag during the winter months in case get stranded etc.
I used to use one of those lightweight cheapo sleeping bags(15quid from Argos),and just adjust the night heater accordingly.
They pack up real small,and can then be stored in the overhead lockers when you’re on weekly rest.

The one in my volvo you could do a cook a roast on. I find it best to set it to come on 15 minutes before you wake up or wake up a bit earlier turn it on then have a snooze until its safe to come out of bed. If you leave it on all night you wake up with a headache.
Leave the window open half an inch!

Never used a night heater
Rectangular sleeping bag with cotton lining at least 3 season, that lets you move your feet around but stops cold air getting around you if you wriggle in the night. To combat the keeping clean problem a good cotton or fleece liner is brilliant, not only can you wash it every week, but if its really hot you can use it without the sleeping bag. 
If you use a sleeping bag then its best to use a sleeping bag liner inside it. You can then just take that home to be washed and saves washing the sleeping bag every week. If your handy with a sewing machine or know somebody that is, then make one out of an old double sheet.
Myself, I use a fitted sheet with a single duvet and 3 pillows. The bed is always made up, I take a fresh set in with me every week to change it over before I come home so its fresh for the next week.

hi there can anyone tell me what kind of sleeping bag is best for in a lorry as im going to buy 1 soon and i dont know wether to get a double or a single and could someone tell me whats the best gsm for in the lorry as i dont want to be too hot but if it goes below zero in the winter it will keep me warm im roughly looking to spend £30 thanks in advance
Just tell the boss that you will be staying where he & his management stay when away from home, it’s a reasonable demand and this will save you the cost of kitting yourself out with some camping equipment.
