Check out the Big Agnes Sidewinder SL 0 - it's rectangular, synthetic, rated for 0°, and has a "relaxed fit" design specifcally for side sleepers and restless tossers.

Seconding the Big Agnes down sleeping bag! I’m a side sleeper and finally invested in a BA Sidewinder after years of getting tangled up in my standard bag. More than worth the money.

This summer is my first time sleeping in a new bag shape too. I bought the Big Agnes Sidewinder because I’m a side sleeper, and it was so much better than my last bag! Stayed SO warm and cozy.

Did this person have any basis for their statement? They make very good bags. They're not the lightest or the cheapest but they are also not the heaviest or most expensive. They're very good quality bags made by a trustworthy company that backs up their products with a good warranty.

I would go with a quilt, they are great for moving around. Zenbivy is most peoples favorite, I really enjoy my Big Agnes.

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.
