How to stop my sleep mat slipping?

[Bucephalas]

Having bought a Laser competition (compliments of Tim_C) and a Therm-a-rest Neoair Xlite, I've dicovered that the base material of the Laser is very slippy with the Xlite.

What's the best way to reduce the slipping problem I have?

I have a small tube for repairs. Didn't think it had more than one use.
Thanks

Use regular silicone mixed with white spirit, paint on some stripes or blobs and leave it to dry.

I've done both my NeoAir and my MLD bivvy as they were a nightmare combined, funnily enough I've not had a problem with the Neo and my Laser, the new one must be slightly different.

Almost 30 years ago I briefly used a thermarest pad. To stop the slipping I bought two lenghts (about 60 cm each, IIRC) of velcro loop of the self adhesive type. Rounded the corners and attached them. No more slipping. Lasted for a couple of years, before I gave up on the durn thing, might have lasted longer if I had kept using it.

What he said, I have a Laser Photon 2, an original Neoair and a pretty new Neoair Xtherm. The Xlite must be slightly different, in fact looking here http://www.ultralightoutdoorgear.co.uk/thermarest_neoair_xtherm.html they do comment that the Xlite may slide around a bit.

That was going to be my 2nd suggestion, The 1st was to nail it in place

Please dont put the mat in the bag. Your bag wont last long and its bloody restrictive inside no way as comfortable. A lot of people do and like it but its better on the outside. Shewie's idea is the best so far.
Or in an emergency scrap around the mat and try and build up a smallish barrier. I have the same problem rolling all the time asleep just dont let it bother you. You will just wake up with the cold and roll yourself back on

Stupid idea I know but how about slipping a piece of cloth, ( bit of sheet, towel or even a shirt) between them.
