Anyone tried these Decathlon all in one bags/mats?

Certainly does look interesting but I'd want to check one out in person, from the picture on the front of the compression sack it looks like the mattress doesn't cover your feet.

I may be looking at it wrong but it's certainly worth looking at if you're going to decathlon.
 
I hadn't noticed that. I had a quick look at one hanging up, and got the impression it was a full mat. I'll check it out tomorrow, if I'm passing.
 
I looked at these a couple of years ago in France, I don't think the temp ratings were that good when I looked but they might have added to the range now.

They used to have a vid on the website if you can find it
 
I had a look today, and to me it looked like the mat goes down to about lower calf, perhaps just about to the heel. I'm 6ft, and figure it would be okay, as I tend to sleep on my side with my knees up.
Temp rating says minus 1 extreme, from memory.
 
That doesn't sound too bad, I have pretty bad circulation so I'd probably need thick socks to keep my feet warm but it's an interesting concept :)
 
They did look really comfortable. And not too big (not compared to my ageing sleeping bag). It'd need some kind of tick liner, I think, though, to make it warmer, or an overquilt. I know it all adds to the weight and bulk. But I could see it forming some form of multi layer sleeping system. I imagine in a Bivi it would be toasty (ish). I also think the thickness of the mat (which was maybe two inches thick - though I'm guessing it was either inflatable or self inflating) would save a lot of heat from being sapped by the ground in colder conditions.
