From your post history you seem to be based in the Netherlands. What is your budget? Hikingsite has a second hand market with currenty a nice offer for a used exped 3R wide model. A comfortable and light mat, good for summer. And I'm going to put a new unused Ether Light XR mummy on marktplaats for 120 euro (instead of 165). Good 3 season option, comfortable, light, small pack size. Let me know if that's something for you, I'm not in a hurry to sell it.
As someone with two bad hips , and one bad shoulder . Exped mw 3r works for me (m would too) For a pillow, while not ultralight is thermarest compressible small, and I have a simple pillow for under my knees . I cut down weight , so I can comfortably carry it, and have room for what I need to still sleep bad (but tbf , I can't get comfy in my bed with 4 pillows , so that setup is the same level of comfyness for me )
Since you specifically mentioned a CCF roll mat, I would suggest the 1cm thick 60cm wide blue mat from AliExpress. I have used it to colder temps than my thinner green mat (1991-2025 so shredded. RIP OG of camping mats.). But I like the more robust z-fold mats and am currently using an Exped FlexMat LW but I prefer my Exped Ultra 3R LW for comfort and better sleep. I guess I keep getting heavier mats.
After trying pretty much everything, I tried the thermarest prolite XS for fun. For some very strange reasons I sleep very well on such a minimalist pad. And that’s the thinner discontinued version not the prolite plus. I only sleep on my side. Other pad that I really like is an exped 3r size S. The rectangular one.
