I use a silk bag liner along with whatever sleeping bag I take. the bag liner is good by itself when it's hot, adds a bit of extra warmth when used with the sleeping bag, and is a lot easier to clean than a sleeping bag.

BTW, a tip for when it's too warm for the bag you have with you is to zip it open completely and spread it out like a quilt over top of you. You can easily adjust the warmth by how far you pull it over yourself.
