Exped Synmats are better than their Downmat. And they are cheaper, easier to inflate/deflate and roll up and pack a bit smaller too. Temperature rating is not as low as the Downmats but realistically most of us don’t camp when it’s minus 12c.
I also find a duvet is better than a sleeping bag esp when it’s hot - try sticking a cooling leg out of a bag? Exped, Thermarrst, Rab and other all fo them. I also have a huge silk sleeping bag for those nights when I don’t even need a duvet, or to up the temperature a bit if it’s a bit chillier than expected. Finally the silk bag makes a great bottom sheet if you slide your mat inside it.
