I would say no. Because we have different weight duvets depending on season. You could end up too warm in Summer.

XVI yes?
As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.

I've just purchased a used pair this week actually which are in absolute excellent condition for £160 for the two Duvalay sleeping bags which were advertised online. We wanted the brown and cream stripe pattern which don't come up very often but as they were advertised at a location just over 30 miles away we went and bought them. We have been searching for a pair for quite while now because I have only ever heard good reports about them which have been mentioned on this forum several times. However, it will be helpful if you watch this YouTube video as it should help you to decide if the Duvalay is worth the money or not.

EDIT: there are a pair of Duvalay sleeping bags for sale on the 'Free Adverts' section for a good price but the seller lives too far away from where you live.

A friend made both of theirs herself.
Wish I was as gifted as that, sewing-wise.
Apart from the sewing of the material, I bet the zips had to be custom made as I doubt you would be able to get those off the shelf.

We've been using duvalays in the caravan for a long time.
To make sure we had all seasons covered, we bought a couple of the cheapest double duvets (of different weights) we could find, cut then in half lengthways, hemmed the cut ends, and use those in the duvalay.

Am I missing something? We use ordinary sheets and duvets.
Yes, you are probably missing a good night's sleep. That's what other folks say after having slept in a Duvalay sleeping bag. However, you can just buy the roll out mattress to go under the sheet which is a cheaper option and probably just as good. The benefit of the Duvalay sleeping bag is that it rolls up without having to store an extra duvet cover and sheet.
