Therm-a-Rest Z-Lite Sleeping Pad
Stays Put

You can pack this thing a few different ways without compromising your backpack load—because it is so light. Obviously it will not pop on you so again, another plus. What I have liked about it the most is it keeps me where I want to be in my tent and in my bag. The R value is good enough as a single pad in the summer and could go solo depending on your bag for winter trips. The only bad thing about it is the size, unless you are taking a chest of drawers, you will need to pack it on the outside of your pack and it can become cumbersome on narrow trails ducking under trees and such. It has a tendency to get snagged on branches but for $29.95 it will take a load of abuse before another one is needed. Buy it.
