About Bivvy Groundsheets & Mats
Fitted versions are cut to one bivvy, while universal sizes suit shelters and brollies with a similar footprint.
A heavy duty groundsheet keeps damp and mud out of the bivvy and protects the floor from stones and roots.
A soft mat laid on top adds comfort underfoot and a little extra warmth on cold nights.
How to Choose a Bivvy Groundsheet
Size and fit are the key checks, as a fitted groundsheet attaches to the base of one bivvy and a loose one should cover the floor without running out past the walls. A sheet that sticks out beyond the bivvy can collect rain and run it underneath.
Heavy duty coated sheets cope best with gravel and rough ground. Lighter sheets save weight on short sessions and on soft, grassy swims.
Fitted groundsheets usually clip, zip or peg in at the base of the bivvy and stay in place as you move around. Universal sheets are pegged out before the bivvy goes up.
A mat sits on top of the groundsheet and gives a softer, warmer surface to stand and kneel on. It also keeps grit off the bed and sleeping bag.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a separate groundsheet for my bivvy?
Many bivvies come with a basic groundsheet, but a heavy duty one lasts longer on stony ground. Some anglers also add one to keep the original clean.
Will a universal groundsheet fit my bivvy?
A universal sheet fits if its size is close to the floor area of your bivvy. Check the listed measurements against the footprint before you order.
What is a bivvy mat for?
A bivvy mat goes on top of the groundsheet to give a softer, warmer floor. It also helps keep mud and grit off the bed.
How do I clean a bivvy groundsheet?
Hose or wipe it down after the session and let it dry fully before packing it away. Storing it damp can leave mould and a lasting smell.
