I am a side sleeper and I like Naturehike’s R5.8 mat
I’d go for an inflatable pad and for speed I’d get a little flextail pump to speed up the time and effort required to set it up. I’ve recently bought a Naturehike 5.8 which I’m very pleased with and a flextail gear zero r5.6 which feels comfortable although I’ve not slept on it overnight yet. The main thing about the flextail like the exped is it looks a bit like the sort of lilo you see kids using in a holiday swimming pool.
Good budget sleeping pad: Naturehike R5.8 = 1100 nok Budget Quilt: Wind Hard Aegis Max Quilt = 1900 nok Also get the Flame Creed 15D Tarp to use it as a ground sheet. = 200 nok Total: 3200 nok for a 0°C comfort setup You'll find this on AliExpress
Budget king is the [Naturehike R5.8 Sleeping Pad](https://www.naturehike.com/products/tuye-r5-8-ultralight-inflatable-pad). Sleeping pads are here to keep you warm and insulate you from the ground. That's the one item you shouldn't skimp on.
I have a 5R light-tour and a naturehike 5R. The light tour is a lot warmer so you results don't surprise me at all.
Seconded, I got the 5.8R and it’s amazing. Was about 110€ and i love it. Comes in under 600g too!
Naturehike sells an inflatable one that has a smaller size that fits you good, I have it and its really good
My nature hike didn't even last one night, for what my anecdote is worth.
8.8R value is fake, Naturehike pads are pretty light and comfortable but are nowhere near pads like thermarest, Exped or STS. This is not possible for this kind of design and lightness to be so warm.
