I have a Big Agnes.they make them tall 6’6” which I like being 6’3”. I think they have some rectangle and wider bags too. I never feel cramped in mine.
Rated to 20d and I’ve had it in a very cold wall tent with no issues. If you can, spring for the real down bag. I was warm in 2 seconds while my brother and friend waited in the synthetic to start to work. BA doesn’t insulate the bottom of the bag where the pad goes for 2 reasons. They expect you to get an insulated pad and real down doesn’t provide much warmth when compressed. I’ve had is for 9 years and still love it.

I have Big Agnes (Buffalo Park?) and have come to really like it. I use it year round inside a cabin, so i don't need it to be super warm. For many years I used a very cold rated Sierra Designs mummy bag, but almost got in it. Just stuck my feet in it and used it as a blanket, and was usually still to warm. I saw a review of the warm BA bag and tried it. What I didn't get from the review was that there was no padding at the bottom. lol I also didn't know you needed to buy a pad to go inside it. So in one respect the BA bag I got is kind of expensive for what you're getting. Factor in you need to drop another $80-140 on a pad and it's very expensive for a 40 degree bag. (since I'm sleeping on cots and beds indoors I wouldn't have bought a pad otherwise) While I'm very happy with it and glad I bought it, had it been presented to me that way., if I'd done my research, I probably wouldn't have bought it. But I'm happy I did.
Doesn't look like they sell it anymore, but do have a comparable bag, but I believe it's less than I paid for mine. Maybe they listened to customer feedback.
