Try this...

I have just purchased a tent, after a bedsheet and clothes horse debacle on my last camping trip (luckily it was the last night) and have read that to make them a more secure shelter I need to tether it with guylines and tent pegs.
I don't have guylines or tent pegs but do have dental floss and a couple of spare toothbrushes. Would these work if I tied the dental floss really really tight, and hammered the toothbrushes into the ground right down to the bristles?

I know toothbrushes aren't as robust as tent pegs and cant find any info on using toothbrushes and dental floss, everywhere just seems to mention guylines and tent pegs. Maybe there is a reason for this.





*Did you see what I did there?

You could try using a Duvalay roll out mattress instead. However, they're not cheap but they do reckon that they are worth every penny for a good nights sleep.
Below is a short YouTube video which which may be useful.

You could use a foam mat, the roll up kind. Much cheaper than a SIM.
