I see in this Week's Radio Times a picture of the kit James Cracknell and Ben Fogle used for their Antarctic trip. For sleeping on they used a Ridgerest, plus another foam mat.
I use a Ridgerest and prefer it to the inflatable mats I have. The only problem I've found with it is that in cold conditions, water vapour condenses in the hollows and is wicked up into the bag. Cracknell and Fogle seem to have avoided this problem by using an additionl mat, presumably between the Ridgerest and ground.
