Sleeping pad sliding around

[MuleyFever]

When I seam seal my tent I always put some down in the floor of the tent to help with my pad sliding around. It really doesn't help that much. Anyone try anything else that has worked?

Finding level ground always works best for me but is often hard to do. I slide more off the pad than the pad traveling along the floor. Of course going floor. less/ tarp has helped tremendously with ground slide. Also started playing with a hammock. Good luck.

Put it in your bivy bag.

Not enough on those times when you cannot get really level. I am going to add more tonight. I am thinking of applying a bit to my pad as well.

I do this too, I'm a rodeo sleeper and this keeps it all together. A lightweight bivy adds warmth, protects your bag, keeps critters out, worth the 6 ozs for me.

Only problem for me with going the bicycle route is the amount of condensation that forms between my quilt and the bivy.

Strips running one way on the floor and perpendicular on the pad.

Get a sea to summit fleece liner and put your pad inside the liner. This greatly reduces condensation and improves comfort. Then put the fleece lined pad inside your sleeping bag. Now you can sleep in a hammock without loosing your pad or waking up to a pool of sweat.

I tried non-slip shelf liner this year and it worked well.

I used a three foot piece under my pad from about my hips to towards the top of the pad.

Yep silicone strips on the bottom of your pad. But it doesn't much matter for me, as my feet are usually pushing the end of the tent anyway because of size.

TJ, do you have a link to what you used?

Silicone strips on some pads help. Sliding is one of the reasons I favor a CCF pad with a torso self inflating most of the time. I find that while a true inflatable is a bit more comfortable that comfort is negated by the pad sliding or me sliding off the pad if the ground isn't perfectly level. At least with the CCF combo I stay in one spot pretty well and find the comfort to be adequate unless it is a real crappy spot.

Before I switched to a quilt and bivy, I used a BA Zirkel, it has a sleeve for the pad that keeps it in place. This worked well for me.

Similar to a non slip shelf liner an strip of non slip rug thingy type material, 10-12 inches wide, long enough to go completely around your pad widthwise. Wrap around your pad and secure with velcro. When you roll up the pad it can stay with it.

I used something like this.

I bought it at a local dollar store.

I have also used a thin lite pad from Gossamer Gear. It worked pretty well too.
