Going by specs yes. I’m a warm sleeper usually but went for this as I’m starting to get soft and feel the cold more as I age.

Go wide for comfort and decent r value for warmth.
As you get older you need warmer too.
The weight penalty isn't much for what you get in return.

Had the Thermarest Neoair since 2017. Had to glue around the valve, but other than that rock solid. I do cart around an exped foam mat below it. Adds to the comfort and protects the pad. Really hard to fault for weight/warmth. Next pad will definitely be a wide, rectangular version, over the mummy shape.

My thermarest X-therm is reg wide but still a mummy shape

I got the Klymit Static V insulated last year. I have found it to be really versatile and good value for weight and money. Importantly, the baffles are designed so you don't roll off of it and stay centered. This helps with a comfortable sleep. It is also very quiet, which if you share a tent with mates is something worth its weight in gold. I find it to be a bit more durable than a lot of the uber light ones.
