I am an avid camper and have never seen a sleeping bag like that, .....

I will give you an example of the given shape of the sleeping big with points on the x-y plane

let AB, with points A(0,12) and B(0,-12) be the zipper side
let CD with C(6,-8) and D(6,8) be the side opposite the zipper side.
Notice AB and CD are parallel and AD = BC

I would call the shape a trapezoid.
