And even better is to put an extra layer of insulation around the 
bag, to keep out the dampness and prevent conductive losses where you 
smush down the bag insulation with your weight.  A polarfleece 
blanket over the bag and especially a sheepskin (skin side to the 
ground or matress) will work wonders to improve the comfort level.
