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”.
Minnesota had its first snow last night it was 30-25 and very wet and crazy windy / gusty. My Crua maxx did just fine, I have a 28m rubberized canvas boat tarp under it and a hybrid tarp above, a have a moving blanket on the floor then the Big Agnes double pad and dream double sleeper. With just me and a dog it was (and is) roasty wearing hoodie and shorts. I am still there now.
Yep we have a Big Agnes double as well as two colder weather bags that zip together. Different tools for different applications. When it is super cold a single will be much warmer-especially if one of you sleeps hot and the other is always freezing. My hubby gets claustrophobic if he’s too warm at night so on more temperate trips the BA double allows him to unzip his side so he can ventilate without freezing me
We have a Big Agnes one from 15 years ago and we like it! Just make sure your pads will work with the bag. Ours has sleeves for the pads to fit into, but we upgraded our pads and they no longer fit. Might move to a hiking quilt or something in the future.
BF and I sleep in a Big Agnes double bag with a double pad and with a fleece liner tucked inside the bag. We're medium sized people, and it's quite comfortable. Packs down to a somewhat reasonable size and is pretty lightweight. I solo camp a lot and often use the double bag set-up for those trips too just to have more room and to be more comfortable. If size and weight aren't a concern at all, I agree with looking into two regular rectangular bags that can be zipped together. I have big heavy ones that were sold as a set. I get a lot of use out of that setup too, including using them with another bag tucked inside for cold weather camping and for using on top of the plastic mattresses cabins tend to have - makes for nice and comfy sleeping. The bag is very big and heavy though - takes up quite a bit of vehicle space and not a feasible option for backpacking. Biggest recommendation I have is to get one rated for colder than you think you'll need. The extra body heat is nice, but my experience is that it doesn't provide quite as much extra warmth camping as you might think.
OMG, my wife and I have a Big Agnes bag. Love it. Zipper on each side, and has an attachment system for the sleeping pad(s) to stay under you.
I would go with a quilt, they are great for moving around. Zenbivy is most peoples favorite, I really enjoy my Big Agnes.
What you are describing to me just sounds like a poor quality fabric. Not all sleeping bags created the same. I love my big agnes also because of that inner fabric. Maybe try another brand? Otherwise a liner could help as well
