Off to find me a snuggly new bag right now!

I have a 5 season Wychwood one and my other half has a HiGear Slumber 4 season sleeping bag. I have also purchased a Vango Nitestar XL for summer camping because they are 110cm wide and therefore give you room to turn around unrestrictedly. Its the draughts when you move and turn that turn me off from a duvet and space is premium in our car, we even have to shrink our clothes down in vacuum bags to go otherwise we would have no room for other essentials. If cost isnt a problem here is my artic suitable sleeping bag:
5 season sleeping bag

High Gear Slumber 4 season is £28.99 from Gwent Camping Newport

Vango Nitestar XL(new version of Astral 350 XL) is £30 plus postage on Ebay

last year we bought a couple of the Astral 350 XL sleeping bags, i cant remember how much they were but i remember them being a bargain. its the best sleeping bag ever, no clothes on a cold night and still lovely and warm in it. but the best thing is that it has the same effect on me as rocking a pram has on a baby, as soon as i am zipped in i am sound asleep, i even sometimes sleep in it at home if i am having trouble sleeping. we also made sure we bought a right hand zip and a left hand zip so that we can zip them together and have loads of room - BRILLIANT!!

I thought they looked perfect for us (we need a big bag so that when the little dog lies in the middle there's still plenty of bag left!), but on a the sites I looked at they didn't say you had a choice of L/H or R/H zips, so I thought they wouldn't zip together.

 

Does it have a cotton lining?

having gone through loads of bags our kids have these, not to expensive and nice and warm, as they are large they have plenty of room to move about, we picked some up in a sale a year or so ago for £15 each. If its to warm they open them out and use them like a duvet and sleep in a cotton hostel liner.

Me and Oh use a duvet with an old sleeping bag unfolded under a fitted sheet on the airbed or if really cold add double sleeping bag as well, not that keen on sleeping bags as i like to sleep with my foot stuck out. Our 13 tog duvet fits into an old stuff sack and is actually a smaller pack size than the double sleeping bag.

Have seem they for about £19- £25
