We've got that crapy chipboard under both the bedroom and loft mattresses. In bedroom I laid self-stick vinyl tile very specifically because it's really slippery, makes it so much easier to slide the mattress around when changing sheets & making bed (a real pia process with barely enough room on the bed sides to get in & out). In transit the mattress is firmly held in place head & toe. In the loft I cut to fit a couple of the cheapest sheets of wall panel I could find (and I do mean cheap: $2.97 each). The loft mattress is just a big, thin pad a couple inches smaller than the loft so it too doesn't move at all. For us it's as perfect a solution as we need.
