DIY UQ with interchangable insulation.

Just wanted to share with you guys my latest DIY project:

In this one the insulation is kept in place by 8 pieces of velcro along the inside edges of the UQ,
Mainly because I want the option to insert more / better insulation later without having to shred the entire thing or make a totaly new one later on if i want to upgrade.

(Nevermind the bright orange plastic clips. Its a substitut until I get the real cord locks. :)

Comments are welcome :D

What type of insulation are you using?

interesting idea, thanks for the pics!

I did a similar thing with my first quilt. I need a quilt fast for a trip so I whipped up something similar using PE foam as my insulation. Worked great, little bulky, but I stayed warm.

Merganser:
The insulation is a lightweight comforter cut in half.

Looks good. What outside dimensions did you go with?

I've thought about doing the same since most of the year I really only need slight variation between a light to moderate weight UQ for comfort here in Florida. I haven't really been satisfied with my experiments thus far, with the exception of a functional (ie, cheap & very bulky) sleeping bag UQ that I successfully worked up for near/below freezing weather.

I really like that idea. It allows for a summer and winter uq without having two laying around. I think its brilliant!
