mainly because those of us that have tried a double know that they are cold! double sleeping bags always will be due to if 2 are in it then there is going to be a big air gap between you and if you sleep back to back then everything down to your waist will be frozen!
also those that do want a double bag, tend to buy 2 singles and make sure that one had a righthand zip and the other a left zip

are you newly married Nokesy? cant help wonder because any of us that have been married beyond the first couple of years would put comfort ahead of this! lol ok so your son wants a cuddle fine, but get 2 single sleeping bags for yourselves and when he wants to join you tell him to get his own sleeping bag in the middle of you both, much warmer for all, and freedom to move without being pinned up by the zip with a freezing cold back

I quite often read posts and then, being aware that I have nothing useful to share, move on to the next.

We have 2 zip-together down bags that are lovely and warm. Never, ever had a draft down the middle. Trouble is, we can't get replacements & they're getting a bit old. As are we, we've been camping together for 40 years. And yes we do still want a double sleeping bag so we can snuggle up.

We have a vango lunar double that can be used as a double or 2 singles. If I suspect I might get a draught down my back when sharing I wrap a fleece blanket around my head and upper body, currently sharing a double duvet with my youngest and do this.

We used to have 2 Coleman Hampton sleeping bags and zipped them together, as they are XL singles it gives a big more room than the double and fits the king sized aero bed.. This set up lasted for over 12 years. We've now upgraded to 2 Coleman Big Game bags which are again XL but heavier and don't squish down very small when packed and weren't cheap but should last at least as long.
