It is probably a bit of overkill for a lot of conditions, but I's much rather too much insulation under me than too little. Having the foam mat is also a bit of insurance in case I get an unpatchable hole in the thermarest. I wouldn't mind having a setup that took up less pack space, but I'd need to have a lot of confidence in a blow-up mat to have it as my only pad.

allicat,
When I used the "blue mat" I had it opened up in my pack like a second skin and stuffed everything inside it ,still took up the volume but more user friendly.
