Cant see why you cant use a eco mat ontop of you sig,it will give you a cushioned floor as well as being a bit warmed.

Now thats given me a idea

I used a couple of old thick curtains and a picnic rug in ours plus a piece of tarp under little nannies camp bed. Lovely terracotta carpet, they worked a treat and stopped the wind from lifting the sig.

Fantastic Nicola 1972. I have just about stop laughing about the underlay. I can just see the campsite owners faces when all these campers turn up with rolls of underlay. I think they might get alittle worried!!

Why don't you take slippers? They keep your feet a lot warmer and don't take up nearly as much room.

We use a couple of old throws my daughter had when she was at uni. They protect the sig from chair legs etc and keep the old feet warm. Just put them in the washing machine when we get home, all ready for the next time.

twyn i think for living room you really mean"the great hall and banqueting room"

on a serious not if youhave a diablo 900 have you thought of getting a fitted diablo 900 "footprint"  groundsheet this is useful as placed ontop of the sig inside you will be keeping the main floor clean and on harder ground if you pitchfootprint first then the sig it protects against sharp edges of stones.we have just got one for the aspen fr outdoor megastore (ours £25.00 + p+p)go have a look
