What bag do you currently use.
What's your budget.
Do you want all year round use.
Fleece lined ? Etc.

I had similar criteria to you and settled on the Gardner carp duvet compact. Only opened it in the house due to lockdown, but looks ideal.

To those that have recommended the Gardener Carp Duvet.
I'm thinking of getting this bag.
Should I I get the plus or the compact for a standard Nash indulgence? It's the old one with removable mattress. Oh, and I am a portly 18st.
Cheers

I'm 6'3 and 14 stone and the compact is fine for me on a standard bedchair (about 90 cm wide). I did a bit of research into the difference between the 2 before I bought it last year. If I remember correctly the big difference is in the width, so if you're a long way round the middle maybe the standard would be better. I'm sure the Gardner website will give you the measurements. It's a good bag.

Looking on the Gardner site it states it has a strap in the middle of the bag to stop it slipping,does the strap go underneath the bed chair and fix via the buckle ?

I only got the plus because i have a solar sp wide bed and the plus is the same widtg as the bed so fits perfectly. Its like sleeping on my kingsize bed at home, theres stacks of room. Just get the compact if you have a standard size bed.
Are you sure?
