Will this pad work ok if I have a mummy bag that doesn't have a sleeve? I bought the bag at dicks sporting goods a while back and have decided I need a pad. It measures 7ft long by about 30in at the widest part. I am around 6ft 1in.

You don't need to waste money to buy a BA sleeping bag with a sleeve. This pad works great with any mummy bag. As for sliding off, I've never had that happen, despite sleeping on inclines and not having a special sleeping bag... If you're that worried about it, just stick a few velcro dots onto your bag and the pad or stick your pack on the downhill side.

This pad would probably work for you (but, given your height, you would probably want to get a long one). It is made to be slipped into the sleeve of a Big Agnes sleeping bag, so when using another bag there is a chance that you'll slip off of the pad (particularly if sleeping on any sort of incline). Since you are not slipping the pad into a sleeve, you can also consider getting a non-mummy pad (either regular or long size) and this would decrease the chances of you falling off. But if you are sleeping on level ground, for comfort and price this pad is hard to beat.
