Big Agnes sleeping bags come with a slot / pocket to insert your entire pad under the bag. Have never had a pad slip out.

Apply some ribbons of seam sealant diluted in iso onto your tent floor. In my case it's usually the mat slipping

I've had the same question - you inspired me to do a little reading. I found a post with 6 ideas The Ultralight Hiker: Cure for Slippery Mattress :
1 Roll something like a t-shirt up and put it under your mat beneath your knees
2 Or put it on the mat (just like a garment at the top to create friction)
3 Add strategic dots or lines of seam sealer to the mat
4 Add a Gossamer gear Thin light pad
5 Add a piece of anti slip grid matting just below your bum
6 Thermarest non slip fabric spray
I might have to try some of these ideas!

Splurge and buy an oversized exped. Best money I’ve spent. Dont need to worry about all that slip anymore

How do you all prevent sliding off of your mat or cot with a slippery sleeping bag? Obviously a flat tent pad helps, but even just rolling over at night at times can be annoying. Has anyone added lines of grip tape or anything similar?
I tried searching the site to no avail, so apologies if this is a repeat! Grip tape?

I like Jim's solution.
I switched to a quilt. Problem solved. Mine works well, too well, in warm weather. I've yet to try it in the cold.

After a couple of trips with the same issue you described I asked my wife if she could sew some straps to the back of my sleeping bag. She did that in a way that essentially acts as a sleeve for my air mattress. That was probably 10 years or so ago and it still works well.

I did the same thing and worked excellent and cold weather, as well.

I attach the correct number and size of bungy cords and wrap them around the bottom end of my cot and around my thermal-rest. This controls the end or my therma-rest and I have no issues as a result.

Yep, quilt with straps around the pad works like a charm.
