Answer
Hi Maria,

It's hard for anyone to answer your question at the moment because we don't know what you plan on using the sleeping bag for,,, Like if you plan on using it so you can sleep in somebody else's home, while you are visiting, then you can get by with any reasonable-quality cheap bag. But if you are planning on going camping -- like outdoors in a camping tent -- then it is likely to be a whole lot colder, so you will need a better-quality bag. Something thicker with more insulation, and maybe even a hood for your head.

You also asked that the bag be light. Well, the lightest sleeping bags are down bags. These are filled with goose down, the fluffy chest feathers that keep these birds warm even in freezing Arctic climates. But down bags are more expensive, from maybe $150 to $400 and more, like if you're planning to sleep on Mt. Everest.

A cheap sleeping bag can be bought for $40 or so. But it will have synthetic filling, not down. And it will be heavier and bulkier than a down bag suited to the same temperature range.

Rather than limiting yourself to Greenwich Village, you could go to any Kmart or WalMart for a cheap sleeping bag. And it will be fine for a sleepover at some friend's place.

I hope this helps you some. :-)
