We’ve tried airbeds and tried all sorts of roll mats and most of our team agrees self-inflating roll mats are the best thing to put underneath your sleeping bag at a festival. Download is big – you’ll have to walk much further from your coach or your car to your campsite than most other festivals, so the less weight you’ve got to carry the better. Download banned plastic bottles ahead of the 2019 festival, and while you can still buy water in aluminium cans, you’re much better off grabbing a few reusable bottles and refilling them from the hundreds of free refill points scattered around the site.
