My husband and I have Big Agnes sleeping bags that we zip together. In the past we have used thermarest pads. We bought the Insulated Air Core pads to use for an upcoming backpacking trip and tested them out this last weekend. Problem: when the bags are zipped together, the pads slip apart and leave about a 6in. hard ground space in between them. The pads are nearly 3in. thick (unlike the thin thermarest pads) so the "fall" between us was a bummer since one other of us ended up between the pads during the night. Are there any suggestions as to how we can connect the bags or pads so we don't have the big gap??

You can use pretty much any number of pad couplers, but I am pretty sure you would NOT be able to use two pads coupled together with the Big Agnes pad sleeves. You'd have to lay your zipped-together bags on top of the coupled-together pads. Another thought is Big Agnes sells a 50" wide x 78" long x 2.5" thick Hinman pad which is self-inflating and rated down to -30 F. Trouble is the list price of $160, but it is self inflating, 10" wider than 2 zipped 20" wide bags and so you are probably not going to roll off it. And at 2.5" thick it is supposed to be pretty comfortable. Forget about backpacking with a 50" wide Hinman pad, though. It's for a base camp or car camping.

try checking out the big agnes pad coupler strap. i don't think bc.com carries it, so check big agnes website. I dunno if that pad strap is designed for two seperate bags, or for the big agnes doublewide series.
