@Sid Thermarest Prolite looks nice, light at 460g for the regular. Looks like Completeoutdoors.co.uk have them for £57, all sizes – http://www.completeoutdoors.co.uk/Therm_dash_A_dash_Rest-ProLite-Self-Inflating-Mattresses-(XS,-S,-R,-L)

We just invested in some Thermarest Prolite roll mats before heading to Bestival. The noise at festivals is enough to keep you awake so you don’t want a dodgy mattress too. I have to say they are just awesome. They are much more comfortable then either our foam roll mats or our big blow up airbed. The down side was they cost about £70 each. In my opinion they are well worth it but we will end up using them a lot.

The Fat Airics look gorgeous... might get one for the winter.

2.5cm sounds very thin, our Fat Airics are 7.5cm. I guess it’s horses for courses, the Fat Airics are too big for backpacking.
We get creases too, it might just something you get with self-inflating mats.
