I like the Nunatak quilts, and the Montbell UL Super Stretch 800's.  I  
have the 30 degree version of the latter.  Very comfy, but still  
deciding how I feel about it temperature wise.

I'm a wiggler.  I like to sleep on my side with my limbs going in all  
directions.  Quilts tend to work better for me, but I have to tuck  
edges in when I move.  Which is fine with me.  I'd rather do that than  
crush the down in a bag by pushing against the edges.

The Cadillacs tend to weigh less than the Chevys, anyway.  That's  
worth a lot to me.  :)

I have yet to buy a women's bag.   The makers I've bought from  
recently haven't offered them.  Sleeping bags are kind of like shoes  
for me - I have to get in and wiggle around to decide if it 'll work  
for me.   I'd try the women's bags  if you're at a store, but don't  
ignore the men's side, something there may suit you better.
