I have a Therm-a-rest sleep mat that I take hiking. I also have a older military foam roll up mat to. I like both and will be leaving a review soon.
Do you have a mat in your b.o.b? If so, what kind? If not....why?

Be ready now, you won't have that chance later.
I have a self-inflating Coleman model that's seemed to work out ok for me. There wasn't any real research or forethought put into it though. I just liked how much smaller it rolled up compared to the military foam I have as well.

Essayons!
I also have a thermarest light weight model. I would like to get one of the thicker models, but they take up a lot more space. Super comfy though.
I used an old ensolite (closed cell foam pad for years. There ok but not nearly as comfortable. Big advantage to them, you don't have to worry about punctures. I usually carry a large square of the foam to sit on in the winter. Keeps you dry and insulated.
I've got a Snigpak Midi. I like it quite a bit as it is very durable and relatively light weight. While I was active duty, I normally just rolled my fart sack out on the ground without a pad. Now a little older and wiser, I realize that I'm not Rambo and there's nothing cool about waking up with stone bruises on my back. I'll roll out with the pad.

I use the USGI foam pad. Works well for me. It is a little bulky but for 3 dollars I cannot complain.
I have an ensolite that I've had for some number of years. It's okay, but I wouldn't consider it comfortable. Nowadays I am usually camping out of my truck so I have a nice Coleman blow-up mattress. But the ensolite pad, a bivvy sack and a poncho and liner ( courtesy of my jarhead buddies at Pendleton and 29 stumps) comprise my BOB sleeping system-lightweight and adequate for SoCal.

I have 2 Therma-rest pads, and an for an alternative, off the ground system, an Eagle's Nest Outfitters hammock. I need the rainfly for the hammock though, haven't bought that yet.
I have many thermarest models
I have the z rest foam pad, which is light but bulky and not as comfortable as the self inflating type.
I have 2 of the 2 inch think luxury series for camping near my transportation
I have one of the new ultralight NeoAir pads, which I carry almost everywhere other than as EDC.
CW never heard of the NeoAir pads. Sounds like you like them pretty well, i"ll have to check them out.
I have the Thermarest Prolite Plus and I love it! I used to camp without anything on the ground while in college. Woke up a few times with bruises... but as I got older (and hopefully wiser), I decided upon the Thermarest. One of the best investments I've made! However, for how much I spent, I didn't like that I had to purchase the stuff sack separately. That would be my only complaint thus far.
