"Klymit is known to completely bullshit their R-value ratings. ... They had an insulated pad rated at 4.4 that they later (had to?) revise to 1.9. ... I personally wouldn't trust them. ... just stay clear of the insulated claims."
"Klymit straight up lies about R values. ... Their advertised R values are not ASTM rated values. You have to look buried in their specifications to find the ASTM value."
"i also bought a klymit pad and froze ... their R value is completely fabricated"

I would not recommend a ccf pad though I take a small piece to sit/kneel on at camp. Found the Thermarest Neo-air uncomfortable and a pain to inflate; bought a Klymit Static V2 at less than half the cost and they’re definitely on to something with their design. It’s a few more ounces than the neoair. I’m a side and stomach sleeper and slept like a baby on my last 5-night trip. It seems thin at first so I was skeptical but its wide/channeled design does a miraculous job of cradling your body and distributing the weight. Honestly, best pad I’ve used backpacking in 25 years.
I'm similar size and sleep pretty good on my Klymit Static V2
You can get a Klymit Static V for $40 direct from their website right now, which is a known brand with a warranty and roughly half the weight of that one. Or you can get a Static V2 from Amazon for $50 and shave off another couple ounces.
I have the Ampex Reland Long/Wide and have been happy with it's performance. It's the most comfortable sleeping pad I own and has kept me perfectly warm in temps down to the low-20s. I also have a Klymit static V2 that I've used for years for temps above 40. I really like the static V but if I had to pick between them I'd go with the Ampex no question, I really recommend getting the long/wide version if you can, it is much more comfortable than the standard size as you don't have your arms falling of the sides and have a lot of room to roll around.
Niet zelfopblaasbaar, maar: Klymit static V2 luchtbed in combinatie met flextail tiny pompje. Pompje is op accu, gaat lang mee en het geheel kun je in je broekzakken meenemen. De klymit is niet superwarm, dus op koude nachten doe ik er een goedkoop tyvek reflectiematje onder (€8,- op bol of zoiets). Dan slaap ik tot het vriespunt behaaglijk. Met goed googelen ben je voor <€100,- klaar
My friends and I use the klymit static v2 and it's been very reliable for us. Definitely too thin for what the OP is looking for but since this pad has been solid for us, I'd imagine their more expensive ones might have what they're looking for and be similarly durable and reasonably priced. Look for stuff on sale or open box on amazon if you can, that can make a huge price difference. I was able to pick up a $300 Marmot puffy cost for less than a hundred the other day when they were clearing it out. Same thing with my tent, sleeping bag, etc.
We have a klymit double insulated ultra- light static v, which may have only been offered in mass drop. I think the static v is rather divisive, but it has worked really well for us.
I love my Klymit Static V insulated
I have a Klymit Static V Insulated (4.4 r value) I used on the GDMBR in 2023. I somehow managed to poke a hole through both sides including the tyvek ground cover and tent. Shit happens when you sleep on the ground. I patched it back up with the included patches and it's been fine. I consider these things to be consumable and assume I'll have to replace for whatever reason. They're just glorified pool floats. Also you use your breath to inflate them and I suspect they get pretty icky eventually. I try to air mine out whenever possible in the sun hoping that keeps the air chamber somewhat disinfected. I bought mine discounted at Sierra. Not showing online at the moment but might be in stores or this one looks like it's the same thing under a different sister brand (same copy on tag). I need to get one for wifey and I'll probably get this one.

+1 for mec reactor (my solo, 5 years old) or klymit static insulated (double, for doubling, 3 years old) and aquaseal uv for field repairs and aquaseal seam grip for reinforcing the repair at home
I would maybe start with better insulation below, I know that pad says r4.4 which should be good in that range but klymit pads are usually not that warm partially for their pattern.
