We have lots of sleeping bags most are vango though, like the marko polo's the ultra lite 450's and the kids had nitestars, but the warmest we use are Alpkit pipedream 600 down bags. you can't beat down!
quote from the site http://www.alpkit.com/
You are the Radiator
The wisest word on sleeping bags and their ratings is that it is you who warms the bag, not the other way round. If you do not generate enough warmth to keep you warm then you will feel cold.
Summer: 15ºC to 8ºC / 3 to 5 TOG
Spring/Autumn: 10ºC to 0ºC / 5 to 8 TOG
Winter: 3ºC to -10ºC / 7 to 10 TOG
Mountain: -5ºC to -20ºC / 9 to 12 TOG
Polar/High mountain: -15ºC to -40ºC / 11 to 16+ TOG
Heavier people sleep warmer than thinner people
Women sleep colder than men
Younger people sleep warmer than older people
Unfit people will sleep colder than fitter people
If you have the heating on in your house during the summer months then buy a warmer bag
Experienced users can get away with less, as they know the tricks of the trade
Eat well, keep hydrated and warm up before you go to bed. Star jumps are good
Don't forget that the mat you are sleeping on is a very important part of your sleep system. If you sleeping on snow or frozen ground then you need to be thinking of both a closed cell foam mat for insulation and a self inflating mat for comfort
