You'll still have to suspend the bag somehow or attach it to either hammock, otherwise it will just all bunch up in the bottom.
I've done something similar - insulation sewed in though.
I used a combo of cheap quilt batting from Joann's and later added a couple pieces of some leftover Climashield.
I sewed the insulation to the inside of the 'underhammock' asymmetrically under a piece of 1.1 ripstop.
It worked fairly well.
Later on I removed the gathered ends that made it a hammock, and created channels with shock cord and suspended it from the corners in a more 'underquilt' fashion.
This meant that wind could more easily get in, and so now I've added a draft-tube to each end.
It's a true Franken-quilt. Everything is different colors including the thread, it's got a couple kinds of insulation added at different times, and it's been torn apart and reassembled.
I might go back to a hammock/underquilt hybrid though on my next one. I like the idea of keeping the wind out of the ends completely and without doubt.
My idea is to sew the insulation onto the outside of the underhammock. Then the underhammock can be pulled up very tight to seal the edges and the insulation will remain uncompressed.
