Wabi, High thread count Egyptian cotton sheets on a memory foam mattress with a down comforter suits me. But I drink my bourbon with ginger ale so you should probably ask Mathman.
Back before sleeping bags were invented my Dad and Uncles thought a saddle blanket for a ground sheet covered w/ a wool army blanket and a WW2 poncho was great for elk hunting.
It wasn't but I faked that it was OK. I can still smell that horse blanket today.

Lots of my family and friends have them. The basic canvas cover, foam, and blankets. the canvas cover wraps around the mattress and blankets like a tortilla around the contents of a burrito. One blanket usually works until winter, then two or more.
Advantages are being comfy, warm, and dry.
Disadvantages are the bedroll is bulky and very heavy.
I had a regular heavy canvas bedroll that was twice as long as a bed.You laid it out, put a few quilts in it pulled it up over you.I thought I was pretty fancy when I actually got a sleeping bag to put in it
If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles
Canvas and leather. This blonde little buckle bunny I was dating in college relieved me of it, along with my team jacket and a couple other items.
Ended up just using a tarp, a bag and a pad.
I recall the evening I laid out my little summer weight bag on my pad and pulled the tarp over me one late June, up in the mountains of the Lost River Range. Woke up to 2" of snow on my tarp the next morning. It ended up being 80 degrees in the afternoon. Gotta love the mountains. Fair bit of elk and bear sign in the meadow.
