I want sticky camping...not slippy camping!

Note, the design of the exped synmat 7UL has the two outer tubes larger than the inner ones, so that you have a lower chance of falling off the side.

Therm-A-Rest make both covers for their mats ...

Lightweight camp beds ...

I've yet to use one of the beds, but I rate the covers highly. I use one for cycle touring in conjunction with one of their down blankets.

We have used in the past a roll of gripping lace pattern cupboard matting. This is the same that you would use in your dish cupboard, light and gripping stows well.

I have the mesh cot, and its very comfortable indeed, even on non-level ground.

Yes I feel the same, a combination of exped mat and a slippy bag mean sliding ahoy. Like the idea of the seam sealant, as it does have a tacky feel. Will have to apply some to my roll mat underside and top. Thanks for the thread.

How heavy is the cot bed you have, I've been trying to find a lightweight one but they seem to start around 5kg

Pricy but super light, and very comfy

I have the very same problem of slipping off my mat. I recently bought a 3cm self inflating mat from home bargains for £9.99, added some thin lines of clear silicone sealant to both sides and hey presto, no more sliding around. I used screwfixes cheapest clear silicone, about £3 a tube I think(had it a while), didn't cut the end of the nozzle and used a zig zag accross the width about 6 inches apart. Work great and doesn't add appreciable weight to the mat.

I tend to use a bivi bag to ensure everything stays dry. So I put both the sleeping mat & bag inside.
