I'm after a warm sleeping mat that I could use with a down quilt. But it also needs to be light, pack down small and not be ridiculously expensive. Any ideas? Or is this an impossible combination?

Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
Foam roll mats will do the job and they are light and not expensive £10 to £40 will get you one
A good light blow up mat is going to be £80 to £110+ they are light and warm and pack down very small , what is for, light weight back packing ,or just camping ?

Camping/hiking. Thinking of switching to top quilt instead of sleeping bag, so want some good insulation beneath me. Want something that'll pack small though.
I got an Exped downmat lite 5 (s) for about £65, a little more expensive now but its a very warm and comfortable mat. Might want the longer version for use with a top quilt but its a quality bit of gear.

GM Tools on Ebay, looking in my order history it was £63 and free postage.

why don't you get a light weight sleeping bag and just use a foam mat under you, it works and will be lighter that a quilt and a blow up mat
Looking for something a bit more substantial than a foam roll mat. I've got a British Army 3/4 length inflatable mat, but looking for something a bit more comfy.
The Synmat 7 (not the lite version) is on par (ever-so-slightly) warmer (according to the ratings) than the Downmat 5.
Prices are the same i.e high. Both look good though.

Swedish army full length 22mm thick foam mat, is matress comfy, full width, not the lightest thing at 1100 grammes,or the smallest but.....its a 5 season and mine worked well down to minus 9 straight on the deck under a basha in an Arctic army sleeping bag.
OK. Ideally looking for something small enough to fit inside my pack. So probably looking at one of the inflatable mattress types.
Just got one from an eBay shop £45 free delivery👍 size medium
Sent from somewhere?
