    You can adjust an under quilt for warmer weather by loosening it to vent some heat in warmer weather. So I would get a quilt that matches your typical cold hangs. As others have said, that can be pushed a bit lower with the addition of a pad for your more rare, colder trips. The only downside to this approach is that you have to carry a heavy quilt when it's warmer. (of course with only one quilt, your wallet will be heavier too)

    Just repeating everyone else here, but yes the 20° UQ is pretty amazing. I added 1oz extra and took it down to 3° last winter no problem. No extra insulation needed...quite surprised actually!

    Get the lowest temp UQ you can get. I wish I had...

    I personally never find myself too warm, even in hot weather, and you'll wish you had more insulation if you're out and the temps dip below what you expected. I've experienced that and wished I had a 20 degree quilt instead of my 40....

    Get the winter version as you can always vent if you need to assuming you do not mind carrying the extra weight.

    Ya, I'm going to add my opinion that if the 3 season UQ was the cats *** like everyone is saying then why does every post in this thread recommending them also point out how it will need a pad, or a bail plan, or a pulk of extra insulation. To me this just reinforces that it isn't going to do the job on it's own.

    I started with a 3 season wooki and one season later picked up the winter wooki and sold the 3 season to a friend who simply won't go out in cold weather. It will be fine for him but I intend to extend my season on both ends by being adaptable to the conditions.

    The winter UQ is adaptable. You can vent as required and it will do the job to the low temps WITHOUT have to bring extra gear to help it do it's job.

    Everyone adds sheets to the bed in winter and takes some away in the summer but NOBODY has summer and winter mattresses.

    Get the warmest one you can and you will be happy you did.

    I would totally have a summer mattress if practical...and if that's even a thing? I had to retreat to the basement twice in the past week because I woke up sweaty. Even with the a/c on, it's not very comfortable.

    But usually, central air and heat make one mattress work year round. My a/c just doesn't get upstairs. So I'm considering putting a hammock right next to the bed

    I'd also recommend starting with a 20 degree underquilt full length. It's a very versatile piece of gear. When you're ready for #2, check out Wilderness Logics Summer Series underquilts. I have the 3/4 length 40 degree summer series underquilt that's only 10 oz! It comes with me on every trip. I use it in addition to my winter underquilt as extra insulation in cause I get a cold spot (usually my feet).
