Past sleeping bags are just letting down the tent and going inside. If you want to drink something or go out you had to open the long long zipper. This comes out of that problems. You can easily move around and also do works inside the sleeping bag.

My side Your side Pillow

This products is way different with the upper product. You'll have a experience to fight with your classmate spouse seating next to you that make each districts and have a contract not to invade. Choosing first will make her(him but I think mostly women will take 'my side') comfortable.
