Around 7 years ago I attended a Sierra Club leaders' meeting at the Clair Tappan Lodge in California, near Donner Pass.
The last night they held a raffle and I won a Thermarest Trail Pro mattress and a synthetic top blanket that snapped to a top sheet cover for the mattress.
Finally, after all these years, I realized I could use the topper on my overstuffed 20 F. Western Mountaineering Megalite down bag for 1. more warmth and 2. to collect my condensed body vapor instead of it collecting in the sleeping bag.
So now I'll use it if the forecast is for colder than usual hunting weather and not worry about losing insulate value in my down bag over several days. That synthetic topper will dry fast when removed and aired out.
