We had the same problem with both our kids always rolling off their SIMs onto the floor, so I decided to leave the SIMs at home and instead just line the floor of the tent pod with picnic blankets and fleece blankets and they were  happy with that - I think kids are happy sleeping on the floor as long as it is warm.

My 7 year old daughter only manages to stay on her SIM if the weather is cold. She is a wriggly nightmare if it is warm.  I have resorted to a thinner sleeping bag, with blankets available to add if necessary and this seems to do the trick.  On a recent camping trip we were pitched on a slope and she still managed to roll up the hill!  I almost resorted to getting the emergency roll of gaffa tape out and securing her sleeping bag to the SIM but thought it might be a bit cruel.

Glad to hear others have the same problem and it seems there is no solution apart from Velcro an ratchet straps.

We did have a look at the beds with raised sides but she's getting a bit too big for those.

I think we might just get a large sim and leave it at that..
