I'm currently stocking up for a 3 week hike and have been putting a few nights in on a Sea to Summit ultralight insulated. It's excellent - and I'm a side sleeper. A little heavier than other options I looked at but a good price on Wiggle and the comfort factor is great.
Think about the R value of the sleeping mat if you've not already, it makes a big difference to temperature I gather.
Bezzin-
Cripes if that was in stock still it'd be cheaper than the non-insulated one at Decathalon (https://www.decathlon.co.uk/mattress-trek-ultralight-si-id_8382713.html)

Looking for a mat, bivvi, bag combo for through hikes/running (fastpacking). Currently use:
*Decathlon blow up mini-airbed which wins hands down on the comfort front and not too big if a little heavy. Probably will stick with this for now
*Eurohike 4 season down bag - plenty warm but bulky as you'd expect
*Army surplus style goretex bivvi bag is ok but bulky and heavy
*Decathlon tarp. Again not the lightest but ok for £20, I can use walking poles instead of the super heavy steel poles it comes with or trees/fence posts etc.
I'd love a hammock but bivvi/tarp wins for versatility when there are no trees. Are there forum approved "best buys" for sleeping bags/bivvis? Been looking at the PHD site ... must resist temptation!
