For those who doubt even the simplicity of a self-inflating sleeping mat, here's the caveman solution countless crayon-eating marines have taken a rest on. Rugged, dependable, and something you do not want to go without when you're camping.
Your body does a great job at transferring heat away from you and into the ground when you're sleeping, which isn't such a great thing if you're trapped out in the cold. The closed-cell polyurethane foam mat has a simple job that it excels at: keep you off the object-littered ground, and keep you insulated. It's not intended to be a bulky cushy mattress, but it will help you stay significantly warmer than sleeping on the ground, even when in a tent.
The mat is also very lightweight and water-resistant, so even if you're short on space you don't have to worry about strapping it onto your pack as an afterthought.

Chunk of foam, pretty lightweight, keeps you off the ground, can't really ask for more. Would recommend buying/salvaging some tiedown straps for securing to your bag and only use the "ribbons" for ensuring it stays shut.

I am a little baby who is scared of the various creatures that could bite me to death innawoods. But I am a pro-league competitor in being able to fall asleep on uncomfortable floors inside my house (bathroom tile, hardwood, inside a closet, on the kitchen counter, etc) and this mat proved its use there. The "good" condition I chose was pretty accurate, with some nicks and a small hole in the foam but both straps being functional and no icky crotch smells or interesting stains. Ever since I got this, I've slept on the floor as many times as I've slept in my bed. This is the most basic most primitive utility mat ever, and I don't know how I came this far without it. It works as a kneeling mat, a weapon taking apart mat, a sleeping mat, yoga, ikea shark autopsy mat, pretty much anything you would need a green rectangle of solid foam for. I highly recommend it.

This is a foam mat you can sleep on. It's somewhat firm. Looks like a hungry boot took a little bite out of it but I'm not mad at him, it's ok.
