Froli Poll: Fasten It Down or Let It Float?

Those of you who've upgraded to the Froli System under your mattresses; did you attach your system to the floor (screws, nails, &c.) or did you just set the thing in place and leave it be, relying on the weight of the mattress to keep it there? I'm of two minds on how to install it.

Pros? Cons? Discuss.

    I screwed a couple of the pieces by the outer storage door so I could open the storage without having the system move, otherwise I could not find a reason to fasten.  With the mattress on top and typical weight, it didn't move for me.

    I screwed them in. The way I thrash around, I highly doubt the Xs would stay in place.

    Okay, for the moment I'm leaving my system floating; it doesn't seem to want to move very easily, especially on top of the carpeting I put in the T@G this afternoon.
    (The carpeting, on the other hand, is sliding all over the bloody place... I couldn't find the rubber backed stuff that @JamesDow spoke of. Looks like I gotta score some double-stick carpet tape.)

    We let our float.  We’ve had ours 4+ years.

    Epilogue:  I stuck my carpeting down with some double-stick, and for a while the Froli stayed put. But by the end of the season last year it was sliding all over the camper, so I screwed it down with a few 3/4" wood screws.
    For the record, I camp alone so I only need half the camper Froli'ed (can "Froli" be a verb?).
    I have separate sections for the storage compartment lid and the fixed floor closest to the cabinets, so the subfloor storage is still accessible. I Froli'ed half the camper, on the street side of the T@G, then stack both mattresses on top of it with a fitted sheet to keep 'em together. It's a major improvement in sleep comfort; I don't even need the memory foam topper any more.
