I do not know if this is age related, but I am having problems finding something that works for me.
I am old enough to remember when Karrimats were introduced and happily used them for years, then was seduced by the increased comfort of Therm-a-Rest self inflating mats (although my notes record that a Karrimat was warmer in winter).
More recently I moved to inflatable insulated mats and was quite happy, but from this winter I have started to constantly fall off them, waking up cold far too early.
Initially, I suspected that this was due to using mummy shaped mats, so tried a Nemo Tensor Extreme regular shaped mat. No improvement!
I have tried using a mat inside a bivvy, but the result is that I still end up with the mat on its side - and that's using a Katabatic bivvy with cords to keep the mat in place.
Currently I am trying a Nemo Long Wide, but I am yet to be convinced that I will stay on it (I briefly had an Exped LW Downmat, but no time to test it properly, as it was shredded by the the furry lump to the left - entirely my fault as I had not shut a door properly).
I think that the problem is that I roll around a lot when asleep, so end up on one side of the mat, which is then compressed and squeezed away from my body.
The search for a good nights sleep is becoming expensive - anyone with any good ideas?
Possibly a self inflating mat on top of thin CCF may be the way to go - not so high and slightly more difficult to compress.
