I don't think I've ever had a cold spot when sleeping on a cot, and seldom in the last 30 years on snow; not since I came to the late realisation that my mattress and base insulation was more important than my quilt insulation.
I insulate the underside of my cots with a combination of a cot skirt to keep out the breeze and a polyester blanket underneath the cots base with a 50mm airgap between the poly blanket and the cot canvas. I was thinking [ did think ] that underquilts worked in the same way. In summer I don't use the skirt and under blanket, just an uninsulated airmat
Please enlighten me as I just don't get this at all.
