No... I understand it completely. All that's weird (for me) is that I'm used to going by the way EE describes it.
I make/sell quilts.
A 78" flat quilt with a drawstring footbox will be 78" with the footbox wide open laying on a table.
If you cinch the drawcord all the way down it shrinks up 4-6" to form the closed footbox in use. So that's why it's good up to 6'... it measures 78" but the effective length is 72".
Since the Enigma already has a sewn footbox, it is sewn up at a length of 72" because it won't suffer any loss of length in the real world.
UGQ is doing something the same thing, but the wording is just funky that's all.
Since EE lists them as totally separate products... it's easier for them to call it out clearer.
Basically- UGQ is selling
A Bandit with drawcord footbox at 78" (REVELATION)
A Bandit with Sewn Footbox at 4-6" shorter (ENIGMA)
They are both the same effective length in real life- that's why the recommended size doesn't change.
Think of a sweatshirt in size large.
Lay one on the table and it will be 24" tall.
Lay a hooded version on the table and it will be 32" tall.
It's still a size large.
That's really all that's going on with the footbox here... EE just has them as totally separate models, UGQ has the same model with an option.
Again for you...
Ground sleeper
Side/belly sleeper
tosser and turner.
All reasons any decent vendor would suggest you size up in length if you're right on the line.
As an UL guy... I might tell you to cut it tight on your summer quilt (35* and up) if you wanted. But not to chance it on a cold weather quilt.
