I used just about everything from ethafoam, to coiled ropes and empty packs, to leaf litter. I never used Thermarests because they're heavy and somewhat fragile. The important question is how do you want to feel when you wake up in the morning? Short of a nice bed with new sheets and room service, Thermarests (or their clones) have to be the choice. It took 1 night on a borrowed one to completely convince me. It can be a pain to pack, but the wide full length ones are worth it.
