I reckon that if someone could invent a self levelling SIM they would be a millionaire in no time

A self levelling SIM? Not sure mine is that thick that I would notice but then I use it on top of a camp bed. Find it's more comfortable than my bed (although maybe that's cos I don't have to share it!)

Or a self-levelling tent for sites that have given all the level pitches to caravans.

Some camp beds can be levelled, pop a sim on top.

I remember someone on here once talking about a wedge to.

Remember the thicker the Sim the more adjustment you have on its hardness. I let so much air out of my 10cm that when I kneel on it I'm just about touching the floor but when I sleep on it it's soooo comfy.
