Before you do, get a large sheet of cardboard on top of the lilo, then put a cotton sheet under her sleeping bag. Then see if it happens as cardboard like brown paper is an insulator and can  help to keep you warm. If the cardboard & sheet is damp then your daughter could be just one of those people like us that just cannot take the rubber under us as we sweat too much at night. Hence the cotton sheet NOT polycotton.

We had a double lilo once the type that was about 24 inches high when pumped up into a double bed. Covered in what looke like felt or velvet. That was a  lot better than the standard rubber, but still needed to separate that rubber & our body heat (heaters more like) Yuk! it was horrible.

We also used the sleeping bag opened to a double duvet and covered just ourselves with a cotton sheet as we were cooler at night then.

Hope you can get it sorted soon, hope this helps somewhat.

I reflect what everyone says.  As soon as I read your post, automatically thought of was condensation. 

I use sheets and blankets, or duvets, old sleeping bags to sleep  on, as it will help keep the moisture away. Modern sleeping bags are designed to wicker a way condensation.

It is always advised to air bedding.

Old newspapers make very good insulation if you can't get any cardboard big enough.

I've upgraded to foil-backed, foam-backed picnic rugs that were 3 for £5 in Aldi a couple of years ago. No expense spared for us! 

Thanks for all suggestions. Will pack extra insulation on next trip, picnic blankets, cardboard, newspaper, the works! Thanks for all advice - much appreciated.
