Real world temp for Costco quilts?

[Dhagan]

I know it subjective, but what are some real world temps for the costco tq and uq? Ive made both, but I was just curious how low people have actually gone...comfortably.

As a single layer I wouldn't want to take them below 50. I slept with my Costco TQ down to 55 and was on the border of feeling a chill. I think seam ripping the vertical stitches to make more loft would help.

I have 2 more down throws I ordered that I'm going to play around with and see what I can do for a more substantial TQ.

I've taken it down to 45 and an overstuffed one with UQP down to 37. And I've used it in multiple higher temps and I think it's a 50 degree as well.

I've been down to the 40s with 3 quilts - two on bottom and one on top. I just stuff the second one between the hammock and the bottom quilt (tabs sewn on 4 corners to keep it from moving too much).

The "stuffed" quilt seams don't line up which helps with the cold.

I've been down to 28* with the quilts with a PLUQ added to the bottom and a fleece blanket on top....I was not toasty warm, but stayed warm enough to sleep. I don't recommend going that low if you can help it. Real world with just the quilts and nothing extra I've been comfortable to low 40's.

Comfortable in the low 40s. TQ is 2 quilt 3 layer, UQ is 2 quilt 3 layer. Both have baffles unsewn in opposite directions between layers. BTW I get cold easily.

I have a really warm setup for cold weather. I was just trying to get an idea on the single layer, seam ripped quilts.

In Florida where the humidity is a bit higher. 55 seems to be what you can expect. Two layers stitched together would get you into the 30's.

I have taken my UQ and TQ set down to mid 40s. Low 40s and into the 30s is too cold to sleep for me.

I would "rate" mine at 50*, which is to say, I would be confident that at 50* I would be warm enough to get a decent night's sleep.

My UQ is 45" wide, 60" long. My TQ is 70" long with 3D footbox, cut at a half taper from 50" down to 40".

I have also used my TQ as a liner inside a Synthetic quilt for colder temps. worked great.

A TQ made from one is probably good to 50F.
The UQ really depends on if the maker knows what he/she is doing and understands how important differential cut/baffles are in an UQ.
For example no UQ vendor who knows what they are doing offers a sewn thru down UQ.
