    Underfoot Pad Slippage

    I have a 5/8" x 12" x 16" ccf pad I cut for under my feet in a WBBB. It seems to pop out and all around at night. Any ideas to fix it down? Or should I cut a shaped pad segment for the foot pocket?

    Stick it in your TQ or sleeping bag.

    Could you put a loop or two on the corners (tape or small hole). I used to have a few holes in my ccf sit pad and could loop sting around one end of my hammock to control some of the motion. Not sure if a knotty pocket mod would help here.

    I don't use a pad, but I agree with those who say to put it in the foot box. I put the next day's clothes that I don't wear while sleeping in the foot box so they are nice and warm when I wake up and insulate me if I need that.

    Nothing works for me so I have to stick with full length UQ's.

    I guess I toss 'n turn too much, even with the pad inside my quilt.

    The OP may be putting it in the foot box and just didn't mention it. I know I have the same issues at times with mine in the foot box. When I notice that it's a bit off I just fix it. My TQ is a DIY and the foot box could be too wide....that could be the reason for my slippage.

    This is the very reason I stopped using pads. It they aren't big enough they move all night long keeping me awake trying to keep them in place. I tried a much larger size and it too moved all around. So I jettisoned my pad and short under quilt for a full length quilt that actually came in lighter than the shorten under quilt and larger foot pad. If I were to stick with the pad I was going to sew Velcro in my hammock to hold it in place.

    How about a set of small noedymium magnets glued to the pad ? Sandwich whatever you need to keep in place with them?

    put a couple dots of window caulking on the bottom side if the pad, It will help it stick to the hammock or the inside of your quilt
