Hi Skatty- you must know what you're talkiing about since you are obviously a regular poster.... but what you're saying there seems quite surprising. Yes there is some logic in putting someting underneath the mattress, but now you're suggesting also putting somthing on top of it! I hope you don't mind me saying it but this all seems like overkill and not really necessary except perhaps in extreme conditions. We've now used our Therm-a-rest Prolite 4 mattresses on several occasions. We used them on their own- no layer underneath, no layer on top (apart from the actual sleeping bag we were using) and we've been as snug as a bug in a rug...

Hi sorry I wasnt really clear I was talking about 'Air beds' and yes it is overkill to have both becasue putting soemthing under the airbed has little or no effect the insulating layer need to be on top of the airbed

Fair enough then.

Interesting to read the explanations from  paullynn and wlee.
