I have two quilts.  Both are very wide, and neither have wings.  I've only
slept on my back once with these quilts.  I mostly sleep on my side or
stomach, and I flop around a lot.  I do get drafts, but my quilts are so
warm for the temperatures I use them in that it doesn't become a problem
until the temperature approaches 20°F.  It does help that I normally use a
ultralight bivy even when I cowboy camp.
