As a child I sometimes slept at my grandma's house where she raised 13 kids. The bedrooms were not heated unless you left the door open. She didn't. We slid in between freezing sheets with enough quilts to pin us down until morning.
Of course a sleeping bag would work. Just make sure it's rated for the temperature you have to sleep in.
I'd like to add, if your mattress doesn't warm up, if it stays cold at night, that would be miserable. I think putting a sleeping bag, opened up, on your mattress, under your sheet would do a lot. Then a warm blanket/ comforter/ stack of quilts on top would enable your body heat to warm you up.
Oh I just went back and read your hours of electrical. You could still warm your bed up with an electric mattress pad before climbing in (before 11PM). Just make sure you have good blankets to keep the body heat in after 11.

Electric options can’t we have only electricity from 6 in the morning till 11 in the evening by a central generator in our community
Actually that might work - a lot of people just turn their electric blankets on high for the first hour or two and then shut them off the rest of the night and they keep them warm all night from the residual heat.
Then you could go back to olden times and use the modern version of a bed warmer. Hot water in plastic jugs, or a stone or a brick warmed up by the fireplace/woodstove and wrapped in a towel. Put it in your bed 20 minutes or so before you plan to sleep. It can take the chill off the mattress and bedding. Once the internally-heated humans are in a bed that has good insulating covers (down or polyfiber filled duvets/comforters) their body heat can keep things warm the rest of the night. Might be enough to get you through the hours you don't have electricity. I actually bought an antique copper bed warmer off ebay. Filled with HOT water in the evening and put under the covers, even 8 hours later it was still noticeably warm.
We have a very could bedroom in wintertime.
Both are wee looking for other solutions to sleep ( now we use blankets)
Generates sleeping bags more warmth in such condition?
We’ve seen a very giant double sleepbag, https://www.thecampingfamily.com/dou...eping-bag.html
Are here maybe some who have experience?
Read your link. It contains warnings about trying to use it in cold weather.
You could get a battery heated throw/blanket. I would get two full or twin so that one person doesn't pull the blanket off. There's a warning about that in your sleeping bag link too.

A lot of people don't live in a cabin
(mountain hut) located in a remote location of Austrian Alps (from her previous threads)
If you have electricity in the bedroom, an electric blanket can be very nice to have.
If you have really cold legs at night, try looking up the large (17"x33") heating pads available on Amazon. I have two on my bed. Sheer heaven.

So hit the sack at 10 and crank up the electric blanket or those heating pads for the last hour or so.
