I use a king size duvet just folded in half in the winter for extra warmth. I have also used it with a some spring clamps on the bottom half.

Canvas tent, paraffin light, petrol stove. Heaven
I'd rather be kayaking.
Spent up, not pent up, just had my new tent up.

I hate the restriction of a sleeping bag, I just use mine as a cover and a fitted sheet takes less than a minute to cover the bottom. A lot less bulky than the duvalays, which you only really need if your bunk is very hard or uneven.
On the subject of these, if you're handy with a sewing machine, all you need is a king size duvet cover, a single duvet and a single foam matress topper. Sew a channel down where the matress topper will insert into, then insert the duvet into the other half. They are very expensive I think for what they are. I know loads of people who have made their own for a fraction of the price.

I have a Duvalay (standard winter one) and I absolutely LOVE it!!
Never use a sleeping bag now - always take my duvalay. Slightly more bulky than a sleeping bag but worth it!
I hate the "pinned down" feeling I get when using a sleeping bag and the memory foam is really comfortable.
The covers come off for easy washing.
Yes, they are quite expensive but money well spent and I have never had a bad night's sleep since I started using it!

Duvalays are on sale at 20% off.
I think the offer only lasts for one week.

We've got them and love them. The only problem is they're so comfortable it makes it much harder to get up in the morning! The memory foam is a very good quality. We've got the winter weight duvets and have always felt really cosy. We have made up some inner bags with sheets (just folded along the side which is at the back of the duvalay and sewn up the foot end) to save having to wash the covers too much and if it gets too hot in the night (not very often) it means you can throw back the duvet bit and still have a bit of sheet on top of you.
