It's amazing what outdoor manufacturers will do to save weight. In the case of the Therm-a-Rest Haven Top Bag, Therm-a-Rest has essentially removed the entire bottom of the sleeping bag as well as the zippers. Instead of insulation on the bottom, the Haven works in conjunction with a sleeping pad, eliminating redundant material underneath and cutting weight to just 1 lb. 6 oz. The Haven secures to any sleeping pad using built-in straps on back (pictured below) and can also be used without sleeping pad in warmer weather or with an internal tapered Prolite mat (pictured above). The 700-fill down bag is rated at 20 degrees Fahrenheit. The bag will go on sale in January for a retail of $239.95 (regular) and $249.95 (large).

Interesting question. I suppose you couldn't really roll unless you wanted to lose the cushioning of the air mat below you. I'm with you--I tend to sleep on my side, stomach, back and everything in between. This mat certainly isn't for everyone.
I'm a side sleeper. In a regular hooded bag, I would simply lie in the bag on my back, snug down the hood, and roll the bag with me as I rolled onto my side. Since the Haven can't roll, how does a side sleeper keep from burying his face in the side of the hood?
