I wonder if a sleeping pad might help out a bit.

I actually tried that at 3am on the 3rd night.  It's a double layered hammock so I put the pad in between the layers and it was not good.  I found the pad kept migrating to the middle of the hammock so when I laid on the diagonal, half my body would be off the pad. 

I've used pad for many years in my single layer hammock but that was with my Big Agnes sleeping bags.  They have a sleeve in the bottom where you slide your pad so the pad stays put under you.  That system actually works really well in a hammock (at least I found it did).  I've since tried a pad on it's own in a single layer and really found it moved all over the place.  I've seen lots of videos so it is possible but I toss and turn a lot so it really didn't work well for me.  The double layer hammock works well though with the pad in between.  I also think it depends on what kind of pad you use.  I've used a wide Thermarest Mondoking and it worked very well and didn't move.  I used an older regular Thermarest and it was ok too (although the standard width pads don't give as much coverage.  But this time I used my Thermarest AllSeason Neo and it was moving around like crazy in the double layer.  That pad is a lot less rigid than the other two so I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it...

Thanks Doug!  Do you find you have any condensation issues with the space blanket?
