We use Seal Line tapered drybags for our sleeping bags. They have a cap near the apex that allows you to purge air by crushing the bag after it's closed, for a great fit into the nose or tail of the boat. I admit that it takes some work to get the sleeping bag in there, particularly stuffing the point -- but it's worth it for the way it fits into the kayak. The Seal Line tapered bag I use is coated nylon, so I might not trust a sleeping bag in it in a boat with no watertight hatch (although the bag was fine on one occasion when I failed to close my hatch cover completely). In a flolder or SOF or another boat without a bulkhead, it would be prudent to wrap the drybag tightly (for space) in a large garbage bag.
