Thread: Sleeping mat recommendations

I use a themarest X-therm regular wide, its insulated & has been brilliant.
I tend to roll around a bit and sleep on my side hence choosing the wide option.
Was at the time the warmest mat available at the time (2 or 3 years ago) weight isn't bad at around 500-550ish grams.

One thing it does have which is really effective is a heat reflective layer which reflects your heat back to you & I assume the cold ground temperature away from you.

I have always wondered if an emergency blanket underneath a regualar non-insulated mat would be just as effective?
