I'm hoping to upgrade to a ZenBivy set up because I think I will be even more comfortable, and they pack down smaller/lighter than my current Nemo bag, for the sake of backpacking. ... the quilt and sheet systems are highly reviewed.
I absolutely LOVE my zenbivy!! I highly highly recommend them if you, like me, can’t sleep in a sleeping bag. I use an exped sleeping pad with it. I sleep better camping than I do at home some nights now.
Zenbivy is also pretty roomy though I've let drafts in when kicking up a knee in the large size quilt
But really came here to say that the ZB is really nice to sleep in from my experience. I also like the fast sheet as it makes drafts much less likely to happen, and you get a pillow barn which does feel so much better for me.
I have a 20F synthetic and a 20F down. I have used both down to 30F and was warm with both. I have also used them up to 60F with the foot box open, using them like a blanket.

I have a checked in luggage which would contain exped megamat duo (sleeping mat), mineral king 3 tent, a gas stove and other camping supplies.
Our dog liked our camping mat so much, she pretty much adopted it as her permanent bed for a few months (probably 4 months of regularl dog use and occasional human use) until we finally decided to do away with it for real furniture in that room. The mat never needed to be reinflated even once during that time.
The Megamat is huge but it is also the most comfortable. Whatever you will win in packing volume and weight by exchanging it for something else, you will loose in comfort.
Exped Megamat Duo (recent upgrade that’s made a world of a difference)
I have decided to get the exped megamat duo in LW+ size for car camping.
