Does this thermal camping pad stay in place well? Reviews of other brands/types have complaints about not staying in place.

I never slept directly skin on pad. I always covered it with a sheet. I am very heat sensitive (hate it) and never had a problem. When camping, I know you can't be carrying around a sheet with you, but I would assume that if you are wearing lightweight clothing when sleeping that there would be no problem. I cannot say enough good about this product. It got me through nine years of sleeping on the floor while I was caring for my mom and is as new now as it was when I first started using it.

It stays pretty much in place, there is a slight amount of slide, not like the one i had before,it was all over the place. I am quite pleased with this mat.

I have not had a problem with any of the 4 heated mattress pads I bought. I've washed them each several times & left mine on my bed even all summer. Send it back. You'll love it when u get one that works

I was having the same problem with my old one. This one does not slip. The sides are very deep so as to accommodate a thick, pillow-top mattress. The sides tuck way under the mattress, which is good. My pillow-top mattress isn't terribly plush anymore, so the pad doesn't "squeeze" the mattress or anything -- in fact, it's very easy to put on and off -- but it doesn't slip like my old one. After a week, I might have to readjust it slightly, but very, very little. My old one had to be readjusted every single day when I made the bed.

The wool mattress pad is tacked as shown in the picture. I have not had shifting or bunching. I found it immediately comfortable and still do, I have had mine for several months. I have mine in a flannel comforter cover to keep it nice and clean.

Mine sticks if I don't get it on just right, too. When that happens, I use a gripper pad (also available on Amazon in a 4-pack for about $6)

Like the others have mentioned, the external straps for securing just about any camping gear is possible. I personally like keeping my sleeping bag inside my pack to keep it dryer, cleaner, and secure from bugs. I have a fairly bulky 15-degree down sleeping bag that compresses down and fits easily within the top-lid pull over. Also agree its a great pack.

You don't need a thermarest pad with this because it's a hammock thereby eliminating ground pads altogether. If you really want to keep warm just wrap up in a good wool blanket and climb into it.They do sell a system similar to that on their website though so check that out if you are really concerned about it.

Yes it stays in place. I have a full size bed with a queen size 2" foam topper. The mattress pad stays in place while the foam pad slowly works its way to the size of the bed that I get in and out of. Even the fitted sheets will move. (They are not deep fitted sheets.). But this mattress pad stays in place. The sides stretch to go under the mattress and it hasn't moved at all.

This heating pad is fairly heavy, so it might not "loosely" wrap around. I actually sleep on mine, because you can adjust the temperatures to the exact temperature that you prefer. Another "plus" is that it is longer than most heating pads.

Only thing I've had trouble with is that the cord can kink up if you flip the pad over too often -- it needs to be "unwound" periodically. I've had the pad and/or control fail because of that, and with my new one am watching those "kinks" carefully. LOVE this heating pad!

No I have not used it for camping, I use it for a spare bed at home. Yes the pad is removable

If you mean as a heating pad on a car seat, then yes it's flexible enough. It will move a little as you get out of your car, but it won't fall off the seat. It's a great hearing pad and a little amount of movement wouldn't make me downgrade my five star rating.

I placed the pad on top of my mattress pad and under the top sheet. The pad has not shifted - the backing has a textured finish and the mattress pad is not smooth so there is an element of traction in play. I'm very pleased with the size and effectiveness of the pad.

It stays in place just fine for me. I don't use it on off road terrain very often. I'm more of a bike path type rider. It's very adjustable and doesn't seem to be wobbly or loose at all.

No it doesn't but if you have fitted sheets it shouldn't matter; it seems to stay put very nicely and, personally, is the best/most comfortable (thick and soft) mattress pad out there.
