I went for one of these: http://www.klymit.com/insulated-static-v.html
But there are some insane superlight ones available: http://www.klymit.com/inertia-x-frame.html which is only 258gms and yet full length inflatable.

Are you planning a trip or something?

Aye, I was buying on budget and convenience (I was already on the alpkit website buying a bivvy!) but to my mind they knock yoga mats/self-inflating options out of the park on comfort and convenience...

Where'd you get your Klymit from? Used anything else to compare it with?

On a very different level of extremity, I've been touring with one of these and they're so comfortable, light and pack down so small I can't see why I'd choose anything else. It takes 2 mins to inflate, which surely isn't that much of a penalty? Never feel the floor through them (even when basically lying on logs/bricks) and get a great night's sleep. Yoga mats/self-inflating mats never give me that level of comfort, which I value over the two mins of inflation... I guess potential problem is they could puncture, but if you have a repair kit there's no massive risk and they seem pretty sturdy...
