try it and hold it down with a fitted sheet. i use a fleece blanket held down with a fitted sheet and two fleece blankets inside the sleeping bag when it does get cold, just stitched the round the bottom so my feet dont poke out

might be slippery???

have you considered one of those sheepskin style mattress covers under the sheet you have now? or maybe a sleeping bag liner? it may be that the sleeping bag you have now needs updating for a higher rating. I get cold at night when camping too, fleece pyjamas even in august! plus socks and sometimes a jacket ontop too!

oops sheep meant sheet!!

will look out for the sheepskin mattress covers in the winter sales after jan, i already sleep in fleecy pj's, fleece jacket socks, have a 4 season sleeping bag and still nesh, but i am a cold person anyway at home.

You would be better with the underlay under the airbed to prevent the airbed cooling down to ground temperature.  I have used a camping mat under my airbed for years and have never had condensation problems.

I used to use a fleecy matress protector when we used airbeds (given them up and use campbeds now) as I felt the cold and it was wonderful.  Dunelm do them for about £10.  Also the quilted matress protectors do a good job too - no need for an extra fitted sheet that way.
