I have the Insulmat Max-Thermo (with a layer of synthetic insulation). Even with the built-in insulation, I need more insulation on <20 F nights. Although it's not ultralight, I find it very, very comfortable and nice to get up off the ground a few inches on a wet night. It's a good compromise between the heavier Thermorest and the bulkier Ridgerest. My biggest complaint is that it doesn't work well with my GG Mariposa pack, which needs pad for support.
Thomas,
I use a BA insulated air core mattress with mummy cut in my GG Mariposa. It works well with a half breath of air and clever folding.
How do you fold it?
Fold the long (72″) dimension three times so you have an 18″ x 20″ pad. Next rotate the pad and fold it twice. It works really well.
