How does this actually work? One problem my wife and I always have is that our pads slide apart during the night. Does this just stick on to the pads and then snap together? How does that affect storage?

Yes, you can use this snap kit for that purpose. They were initially intended to be used with the Thermarest Tech Blanket and Down Ventra Comforter to save weight over the Thermarest Fitted Sheet. My recommendation would be to try out the fitted sheet option (http://www.backcountry.com/store/CAS0298/Therm-a-Rest-Fitted-Sheet.html). This allows you to lie on the mattress very comfortably and still snap the two pads together. I would do this rather than sticking on something adhesive to my pad. If you are trying to save pack weight, this is an excellent option. Otherwise I would go with the fitted sheet. If you do go with the fitted sheet, make sure you get the right size...
