Are sleep systems restrictive when both sides/zips are done up?

Tried a Nash MF60, albeit quickly today, but felt like there wouldn't have been much wiggle room.

Are sleep systems restrictive or can you move around freely and adjust yourself easily as I have never used one?

Is it best to get a queen quilt and half and half it on a comfortable bedchair for late spring, summer and early autumn?

👍

Yes the are if you buy a standard Sleep System , the Wideboy versions have plenty room .

Agreed.......then found a wideboy was too drafty and harder to keep warm in......

Fleece lined bags or systems are a pain to move around in. I've just got a avid benchmark lite which is fleece and I'm finding it much ‘granny' on your clothes as you get comfy as opposed to my previous bag that didn't have fleece inside. Also depends on the material type of your clothes of course.

For me it's a trade off.

I would never use a system that had bag on the bottom as always thought you wouldn't sleep on a quilt at home, so for me systems that have only ‘top' have a lot more wiggle but are still restrictive by nature. I have the standard Nash mf60 and couldn't go any bigger as currently use a fork lift just on this...

Currently have Nash indulgence ss3 wide boy which I bought for this very reason. I am 6ft and 15 stone and find that I can move freely and comfortably and stay warm. I have the winter shroud so I sleep on the heavy bag with the lighter section and shroud on top. Just using an open brolly in January it keeps me warm. Mind you I sleep warmly dressed in winter.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
