Rock Chuck,
I've never tried a quilt, so your experiences sound interesting. I also am a side-sleeper, and have tried a variety of different shaped sleeping bags(narrow mummy, wide mummy, semi-rectangular) before settling on the "wide-mummy" bag style. I may have to try a quilt at some point, though I am satisfied with my current choices, especially in extreme cold.
I am hoping that SheriffJoe will chime in on this soon,as I would like to find out what his choice(s) are?
For side sleepers, a wider quilt is a big help. Most makers have them up to 55" wide, a few as wide as 60". UGQ has them as wide as 65" which is what mine is. There's lots of quilt to tuck around you.
