double thermarests?? Do they exist?

[brumstar123]

Hey guys, went camping this weekend in the bell tent, full experience we bought 6 sheep skin mats and cheated a bit and used a couple of roll mats underneath, just to ,ake sure...

Does anyone know whether you can buy dounble thermarests or something similar. I hate air beds, it's like sleeping ontop of a fridged matress. A

Any ideas? My wife would for once endorse this site if you gave me a solution!!

I don't know of any double TaR's, but I do know of 'connectors'. I'll have a looksy if I can find a piccie.

EDIT:
It's called a 'Couple Kit':

Years ago I've seen something like a tight 'sheath' out of parachute like fabric. Just put both TaR's in the 'sheath' - job done. I think you can make one yourself very easy. Just take a piece of fabric. Twice the width of 1 TaR and as long as 1 TaR (though not really necessary). Sow the ends (width - from top to bottom) together and again in the middle.
Hope this was clear enough - as I can't find an example and don't know what it's called ...

I haven't seen any double mats but swmbo and I use 2 normal mats (alpkit fat airics) which we hold together with some elastic straps we made.

Simply sew a length of flat elastic ~1" in width and about 75% the width of the 2 mats side by side then sew a line of stitching half way to make a figure of 8 strap. make 2 and then you insert one end of each mat into each side of the loop.

This holds the mats together nicely and stops 'continental drift' where I end up sleeping in the gap on the cold ground!

We met someone on our Honeymoon who used two bed sheets to make fitted sheets for two thermarests. Clever idea that I must get around to copying.

Some of the more expensive ones are twice as thick as the standard thermarests, up to 2" thick I think. I was in a London store looking at the whole range they had inflated, so it was easy to see the differnt di,emsions & thicknesses.
