Most people will say the Exped Megamat they’re not wrong, but I would also consider the big Agnes captain comfort. It’s an inch thicker, a few bucks cheaper. The only downside is that the valves aren’t as nice for inflating/deflating and the bag it comes with is not as good, but if you’re sleeping on it every night and not packing up after the weekend those would not be huge issues
That Exped is worth the money. It’s about as comfortable as it gets sleeping outdoors. NEMO Roamer or the BA Captain Comfort are close seconds. The Roamer packs a little smaller, if that’s important in your decision process. Labor Day sales are coming in the next week or so. It’s a prime opportunity to snag any of them for 25% off.
I have a Big Agnes Captain Comfort and it’s amazing! You can order the size that best fits your sleeping platform. For two people sleeping in the summer, I’d bring a blanket for each of you so turning over in the night doesn’t let cold drafts in to chill the other person, and a larger blanket to go over both of you to keep in extra heat if you have a chilly night or two.
Exped MegaMat 15 or one of its clones (Sea To Summit Comfort Deluxe, Big Agnes Captain Comfort, Nemo Roamer 3D, ALPS Outback Mat etc). Well worth the money. You will want to get an air pump for this. For the Exped mats the Megapump is totally worth it.

Car camping with no space limit: exped megamat 15 Car camping with space limitations or canoe camping: nemo roamer Backpacking: big agnes boundary deluxe 30x78
I have a giant Big Agnes 30x76 pad, but I almost think it’s a bit big to pack for motocamping, but it’s comfy. I just got a Featherstone quilt and like it, and they have a nice pad for around a hundred bucks that punches well above its weight. I think I’d look at that if I was getting into things
