https://www.bigagnes.com/collections/doublewide-sleeping-bags/products/dream-island-doublewide-20?_pos=1&_fid=91e37c163&_ss=c This is what I bought. Big Agnes double sleeping bag. 20° f rating, and says it’ll fit up to 6’6”.
If you can afford it, the big agnes dream island is better. Girlfriend and I have started with the kelty, and then upgraded. If kelty is what you can afford you will like it. It's great. But the BA is better, packs down smaller, and is warmer and more comfy imo.
Exped megamat. We have the dream island 20. Take the blanket off of it when night temps are above 60. Down to 20 degrees we are happy with it. 10 ish degrees we will add a sleeping bag liner (just like a fleece blanket) 0 to -15 (that's the worst we've ever been in) we had the bag, sleeping bag liner, and stuffed a 20° quilt inside of the dream island. It was -15 and we were snuggling and comfy and warm. (Having to pee sucked though. Dream island is great. Absolutely love it. However spend your money on the megamat. It is literally the best thing I've ever spent money on lol. She is happy and sleeps well, and wants to go out all the time because of it. Also good to negative something colder than I would go out in.
Gf and I currently use a Big Agnes Sleepy Bear 35 which is a double wide sleeping bag and for our pad we use the Big Agnes Divide Insulated double wide pad. We love this combo for how comfortable it is and how it kept us warm down to an exact 35 degree night. Definitely recommend the sleeping pad. The bag is also great but discontinued. I see the current equivalent is the Dream Island which seems to be an improved version.
Big Agnes has a double bag just like you describe. I have a down one and it’s great
Have a Big Agnes 20 and a Magma 20. Both down both compress well. A few years ago, I switched to those liners in the summer and love them. Warm enough in July. Pack extremely small.
If your biggest concern about a sleeping bag is room for your legs to move without feeling constricted, I would try out Nemo or Big Agnes sleeping bags. Both tend to have wider profiles. Definitely go for a bag that is rated at least 10 degrees lower - preferably lower - than the temps you expect to sleep in. Theres multiple problems with layering with clothing like this, one of which is not the warmth specific factor but the breathability. One or two layers is one thing, but with all the listed clothing and then something like the picture on top, you’re going to build up humidity near your body you can’t get rid of, and you’ll become even colder. Next, a sleeping bag basically creates a warm pocket of air around you. The insulation in the bag helps create and maintain this pocket. The more compressed this insulation, the worse it performs. With layering clothing, you compress the insulation, making it less effective. On top of that, insulation is minimal if not nonexistent at the seams. Some puffy jackets and “extreme temp” clothing gets around this by minimizing seams but there’s almost always a few somewhere, which means no air pockets and no warmth. If I could recommend the best case scenario for you, it would be this: find a sleeping bag you can tolerate rated to a temp appropriate for your conditions, 15F at a minimum, best scenario a 0F. Dress in only your smartwool layers, and make sure you have a good pad/sleep set up underneath you.

A Big Agnes sleeping bag with down that fit me correctly. I was iffy on the price at first, but it turns out I had basically used ill fitting, non insulated sleeping bags for years of wilderness camping. Getting a good nights sleep anywhere, especially away from home, makes a huge difference.
I got a big Agnes bag that has an extra zipper kind of like carry-on luggage. Makes it somewhat adjustable - roomy most of the time but when I really need the warmth it’s more snug.
Just wanna say I respect the lack of overpriced fancy gear and I respect making it work for as long as you did! As much as I am “anti gear, pro getting out there”, a lightweight Big Agnes sleeping bag will roll up to about 1/8th the size of a rolled up Coleman. Mine has lasted me for 7 seasons so far no problems
I have a Big Agnes bag. It allows me more movement as the back is where the sleeping pad goes and it’s more “bed like”.
