Do not get a self inflating mat – they are too short for most people. They are heavier and much more bulky. I have used a Hikenture Inflatable Sleeping Mat for 2 years. 8 breaths to inflate. £32
Try the Alpkit Cloudbase mat. Only £45 and very effective. We used ours for a 6 week tour in New Zealand and a week in the Outer Hebrides. Worked well and takes up very little space.
