I have Vango Nitestars and they are certainly a very warm bag. I think I have the XL bags which are very wide. The only issue I would raise is that I use Self inflating mats rather than airbeds. The mats have very little sag in them and the shiny nylon of the sleeping bag means I often wake in the night having slid off the mat. Should not be such a problem if using airbeds.

We have the sprayway comfort xl bags which are really warm and spacious, and feel really nice (polycotton I think). They zip together to make one massive double bag.

We paid £40 each for them earlier this year.

We have the same sleeping bag.  Paid the same price - fabulous bag and highly recommended.

Wendy, if you're on the small size make sure you buy a bag that's a suitable size for you. I'm only 5ft 3 and found that normal generic bags were huge on me so there was lots of dead space which I couldn't heat up. A fleece liner helps but having a smaller bag (I have a Coleman Elle) designed for girlies has been a real bonus.

Snap on the Hudson bouble top bag and top make when it comes to accessories you want go far wrong with Coleman.
