    Underquilt question

    Would a 30(L)x 40(W) underquilt do the job? I'm 5'5 tall and don't plan on doing any winter hanging. I'm not sure if that's enough info so let me know what you think. Thanks.

    Should be good and if you get a little cold on your legs you can throw a pad under them. If your making it I personally would measure from the base of my skull to the back of my knees if your looking for a partial length.

    Seems kinda thin. I think most UQ's are 42-48" but if your slim shouldered it some work but your a cornfed feller might wanna add some width for comfort.
    Directionally challenged...comicly so.

    Not all who wonder are lost...But I'm probably just lost.

    And if you use a pillow that acts as insulation for your head.

    A Jardrige 3/4 UQ (52 L x 42 w) is almost a full length UQ for my wife who is 5ft 3
    I am still 18 but with 52 years of experience !

    I did a 3/4 UQ that was 60x42. I am 5'4" and worked well.
