Why it matters for your bed or cot
Knitted sleeping bags with buttons down the side turned up on eBay, Etsy, AliExpress and Vicedeal in grey, cream and blue that spring, and OPSS reported each listing separately. If you have a knitted button-sided sleeping bag with no arm holes, it doesn’t matter which site it came from. Stop using it.
