Hybrid warmth: separate heat, airflow and the bunk envelope
Underlay, heated bedding and a DIY radiant barrier solve different problems. Measure the bunk, keep required ventilation open and choose only the layer your setup can use.

The 3/4-in open underlay creates an airflow gap beneath a mattress on a cold platform.

Check fit: Measure the platform; account for the 39-in roll width, 3/4-in added height and length sold by the foot.
