Re: Sleeping Bags or Duvets
we used to use a double sleep bag, there a bit cramped plus cant kick a leg out if to warm! We now use a tesco value duvet (if gets damaged cheap enought to bin!) we then roll it up and it fits in the old double sleep bag's bag!

We bough the Tesco value extra large single sleeping bags and then zipped them together to provide an ultra King size. It's great loads of room for two star fish.

Weve always used double sleeping bag in our vans, you might not be able to get a leg out but atleast the wife cant pull it all off and cocoon herself like a giant cabbage white!

Re: Sleeping Bags or Duvets
Good down duvet or sleeping bag unzipped and lay flat used as a duvet. By good down I mean all down, no feather. Not cheap, but take up very little space when packed away and have a wide comfort range so you won't overheat on warm nights or wake up cold on those cold nights.
