"Wings" would simplify the "cold elbow" problem, but I don't like the commercial designs nor prices on offer. Beside, I already have other mats, maybe clothing and whatnot for this purpose. I only need about 5" for my elbows on either side of my 20" mat and don't need extra padding under my pad. But in the meantime, I might tie a smaller mat perpendicularly under my main mat, like a Christian cross or lower case "t". The mats can be slashed together making a tight 20x20" square of rope. Together they are attached to the hammock head edge (shoulder) at a single corner of the rope square. The mats won't move an inch.
