Which Sleeping bag?

[GONA66]

We need to update the children's Sleeping bags to adult size plus we could do with purchasing some for ourselves.
So the question is, any recommendations for 4 Sleeping bags to use camping in a tent. Obviously they need to be warm enough to use alone with no additional blanket. What are people's opinions please .

We’ve got these for our van and they are super toasty:

We’ve got two of these for our children but they are adult size:

Serenity Superwarm Single

The stylish Vango Serenity Superwarm Single sleeping bag provides outstanding performance along with incredible comfort. This is a 3-season bag with a tog rating of 10, making it the perfect sleeping bag for camping from Spring through to Autumn. This square-shaped bag offers double-layer...

Where to start?? I have 4 Snugpak sleeping bags in the loft (all man made insulation) Two Softie 6's (Kestrel) that zip together for warmer weather (comfort level 0C) , one Softie 12 (Osprey) which is for autumn temperatures (comfort -10C), and a Softie 18 (Eagle) which is for winter temperatures (comfort -20C).
Snugpak sleeping bags are British Army staples though they are quite bulky when packed but work when subjected to moisture.
I also have a Cumulus Mysterious Traveller 700, Down sleeping bag, comfort -10C but packs a lot smaller than the synthetic fill bags.
Finally a Western Mountaineering Ultralite down bag, (comfort -2C) but the lightest bag I have. This is my Go-To for lightweight, small pack size motorbike camping, really big bag so no getting wrapped up in it during the night. Disadvantage is - it's not cheap.
Buy the best you can afford, think about pack size and weight where you have space and carrying concerns, use a liner whenever possible to avoid the need to clean them too often, and store them unrolled as much as possible (I use IKEA Frakta blue zipper trunk bags and write the contents on the ends)
The next subject is sleeping mats...
