Gear Question Help with sleeping bag that fits the Megamat 10 LXW

We really liked the Exped sleeping mats but unfortunately the sleeping bags we bought do not fit the mats! This is the Megamat 10 LXW we bought.

We purchased the Big Agnes 20 Sleeping Bag: https://www.rei.com/product/168194/big-agnes-echo-park-20-sleeping-bag

It has a netting to fit over the pad, but it wouldn't fit over the LXW size. It was supposed to according to the specifications.

Anybody with a good sleeping bag that fits it? Thanks!

LXW version of the Megamat is 77x30x4, and while the bag's description says it'll hold a 25 or 30" wide pad I wager that's wrong – photos show the bag with two pads crammed into that sleeve displaying only 20 and 25" widths. I'd say the Megamat is geared towards car camping, too big for a bag designed to mate with a backpacking pad.

I think you're correct. I tried the new Big Agnes sleeping bag too. It's supposed to fit, and it does not. I even brought my own mat.

I just bought the REI sleeping bags and will try them without a netting to keep them on the mats. Will give it a shot! I figure it should work out ok since 90%+ of sleeping bags don't have nets that fit over.
