Ted, this isn't one of the bags where you're meant to put a sleeping mat into a sleeve in the bottom and it only has down in the top half is it?
If it is, no wonder it's thin in parts.
I've had a number of down bags going back to the 70's and never had one wear out, but they do seem to be less effective after a few years of use. Washing them using the proper down wash stuff doesn't seem to "refluff" them but they do smell less!
You might be able to buy some down from someone like Rab or you could buy a down pillow on ebay for a tenner and take it to bits but you're going to have to cut the bag to stuff it in and them sew it back up again. The one time I tried it didn't go well - the down went everywhere and hand sewing the cuts in the bag took forever and feathers leaked out through the stitching constantly afterwards.
