Sleeping mats, does everyone use them?

Normally I take only a sleeping bag, no tent or mat. I sleep in the dirt like a wild dog.

Is it just more weight to carry or is it an essential for you lot?

I used an Exped Synmat UL at the weekend there and it was great. Takes about a minute to inflate, really comfortable and really keeps the cold out of your bones. Packs down pretty small - and there are plenty of smaller/less luxurious options too.
