A fleece blanket will do the trick
You could even sew a little elastic on the corners to go over the corners of the matress to keep it in place
Nice and snug too :)

I use cheap fleece blankets about £3 from primark for this. I just tuck them under and they dont move much.
Another idea could be an old single duvet cover, cut to size and stitched or just folded under .You could probably make 2 out of one cover.------------- Debbie

Fitted fleece underblankets are available in Dunelm at a reasonable price, which would do the job, and help keep you warm.

place that non slip matting Delta recommended under the airbeds to prevent creep , i do and it works , and a fleece blanket on top does help with slippage ,
I also have that aluminiumised insulation stuff a bit like the covers for camperwan windows under neath the beds to stop condensation and cold seep.

Or you could use this kind of breathable groundsheet, which is basically the same thing but often cheaper. We had some left over from a piece we bought for a tent, so use it on tabletops etc to stop things from slipping.

I bought a large fleece blanket that covers our double Coleman Comfort and tucks underneath, we have never had a problem with `slipping` using this.
