I'm also a big toss and turner while sleeping and find that sleeping under a quilt to be a big advantage over using a mummy bag .... a lot more freedom of movement.
If a quilt allows drafts then sew on a 4" draft stopper. All this needs to be is a strip of single layer nylon along the sides of the quilt. That makes the quilt 8" wider with very little additional weight.
I use my homemade quilt and also a 30* Marmot Plazma as a bag or as a  quilt.
It might be helpful to watch my YouTube videos on my sleep system.

Recently I have been thinking of adding a patch of hook and loop tape to the hood and bag of the Plazma. This would be used to hold the hood out of the way while using it as a quilt and keep my face from being buried in the hood during the night.

'til later

I am a big toss and turner and tend to get all twisted up in my bag with my face in the back of the hood . Considering a quilt with separate hood or something but I sleep cold and worry about drafts. Any experience from other cold, restless sleepers? Currently use  marmot helium.
