Yup, that`s what I was going to suggest. At £2.99 or so per mat, it`s not expensive and you don`t mind cutting them to fit. Plus it`s far warmer than an airbed, and makes a nice play surface for a child if they have to stay indoors on a rainy day.

Stick velcro on the back of his pj's and on the airbed...sorted

Both ours always fall off airbeds a few times a night at least.  Our little wriggly rosie is the the worst for it, but we just went the route of padding and insulating the floor and let her get on with it.  She seems to be getting better and falling off each time we go away.

The other tactic use to use a mummy sleeping bag and tie top tight so bag rolls off with them!!!!

We line the sleeping pod with foam carpet underlay, one piece cut to fit and use a ready bed. My son also wears a zip up fleece pj (all in one) and although he wriggles pretty much everywhere he has never woken up because he is cold.

My 4 year old fell off the readybed each of the 3 nights this weekend.  I had a tarpaulin under the pod groudsheet and he wasn;t too bad but i pushed our airbed upto him so he stayed propped up (sloping site so only went one way).

I don't suppose the portable toddler bed rails would work either side?  If you've got them it might be worth a try, they are about £20 each, so an expensive experiment if it doesn't work and you go out and buy them!

Might be able to get them at a boot sale?
