Yes! Those sleeping bags are the best...the ones that you do not roll. However, since she has stated that she has never been camping before I was assuming that her sleeping bag would be the type that most people roll.
I suggested a Thermarest because they are much easier to pack and this way you don't have to bring a pump or spend all your energy blowing it up.
