I got two of these bags recently and tested them on a trip to VT with my girlfriend. When we set up camp it was 7 deg F, and that was around midnight, so I imagine it got a bit colder than that. She got a little cold and grabbed one of our 25+ deg bags and layered them while sleeping in a base layer and sweater (and then was fine aside from cold feet). I just had on boxers and boot liners and just this one bag, and aside from my feet being a little cooler than I would like in the AM (not uncomfortable though), I was nice and toasty except for my nose (go figure).
I read another person's review that said they couldn't sleep on their side. I am a side sleeper and had no problems at all at 6' tall and around 175 lbs so I don't know what the case was there.
I was a little thrown off by the lack of down on the bottom until I realized that down needs air to work anyway so having none underneath is fine (and it didn't just work in theory).
They are a little on the expensive side, but if you catch them on sale they are well worth the $.
