You need to make tiny pockets, not just a giant air bubble that allows the air to circulate freely. Like a thermarest ground sheet - it has lots of pores that are filled with air.

Dead air isolates. Allow the air to move and the density differences between warm and cold air will set up a circulation which carries heat away from you.
