One piece hammock / top quilt ????

Now a top zippered bag, THAT'S a good idea! I think. There must be a reason they are all side zipped. Losing too much warmth as heat rises?

If your top quilt keeps migrating down off your body, i'm guessing you're pushing it off you while you sleep?

Try adding a channel along the top (neck portion) with shock cord you can cinch up, and two gabs with snaps on them, so you can cinch the quilt closed around your neck, and fasten it behind you.

Well, there might not be sleeping bags that are advertised with a "top zipper"... BUT when you buy a hoodless semi-rec sleeping bag, you can simply turn it so that the zipper is on top. That is what I do all the time. I own a Western Mountaineering Alder and a customized ZPacks sleeping bag (instead of having the footbox sewn shut I had them add a short zipper, and I also had them add draft tubes along the zipper) - and if I don't use the bags in top quilt mode, I use them with the zippers on top. Makes entering and exiting very easy.
