Works p well as insulation from the ground. Lightweight, durable, have slept on it in freezing weather and survived.

They're about $20, but you can find them cheaper. Don't get ripped off.

I have used a Therm-a-rest Z-lite for about a year and have loved it so far. Though if yiu have the budget I would opt for a inflatable Therm-a-rest, the one I had was as comfortable as a shitty matress but it started leaking after a couple of years.

Check your local walmart, mine is clearing out all their Z Rest mats for 15 bucks.

Go for foam pads, they do a good job and are indestructible, just a bit bulky. If the weather is fair, every cheapo will do, for cold weather get an EVA pad.

I use one of these Bundeswehr mats and it sucks. The sleeping pad doubling as backpack back pad thing is a meme and you end up with a shitty sleeping pad and a shitty backpack. Still, for the $60-70 you spend, it's kinda cool stuff and I appreciate the autistic German thinking behind it.

None. Don't be a wuss.

If budget - go thermarest trail scout (self inflating, 1lbs ish, comes in a very large version, has an r rating of 3.2)
if not a poor - thermarest neo air xtherm (r rating 5.7, 15oz for regular, "the last pad you will need to buy" kinda deal)

It's awful as a sleep pad but it makes a great sit pad. Also you can use one as a groundsheet with an inflatable pad, so you never need to worry about sticks or stones damaging it.
