The leader of a local church group grabbed me yesterday at the Victoria's Secret Roadshow. She was concerned about keeping the members of her group dry while the slept on the banks of Ganges during an upcoming pigrimage to India.
She was actually thinking of having each church member tote a single sleeper memory foam mattresses because she was so happy with her tempur pedic mattress topper at home. Hi-tech or not - the thing we all have remember about space aged bedding is that moisture retention is still a major factor. The key to sleeping on the banks of the Ganges is moisture elimination. I've slept on the Ganges, both on raft and on the banks and there's no easy answer here. But the single most important recommendation I could make was "wear a wool hat." Regardless of whether it's warm or cold out, the hat will retain your body so that even if you're sleeping wet, you're sleeping warm.
