British slang for a sleeping bag — the kind you'd unroll at a festival, a camping trip, or a mate's floor when you've missed the last train home. 'Doss' is a long-standing British word for a rough or makeshift sleep, and dossbag combines that perfectly with the practicality of the item itself. It has a distinctly no-frills, down-to-earth feel — nobody who calls it a dossbag is sleeping in a luxury glamping setup. It's for those who sleep wherever and however they can.
He grabbed his dossbag from the car boot and found a spot in the corner of the tent.
