I was out this weekend and noticed that I was slipping around while on top of my Exped Synmat UL 9 mattress. Granted, I am one who thrashes about throughout the night. Even with that in mind, it just felt slippery on top of the mattress.

Is there anything I can do to keep me and my sleeping bag (WM Caribou) from sliding around atop the mattress?

Putting dots or lines of silicone Seam Sealer on the pad will make it more grippy.

I find the Exped mats very noisy, does this make them quieter?

cheers,

I've read about putting the seam sealer on the tent floor to help reduce the sliding of the mattress on the tent floor. Never thought to put it on top of the mattress.

My only suggestion w/r/t seam sealer is to use Seam Grip instead of a silicone-based product such as SilNet which will peel off a lot more quickly. Seam Grip is generally better for most non-silicone type materials, including Cuben fiber.
