I second the motion to find another place to save money - we all need our beauty sleep. I do the same for my setup - a CCF under the inflatable adds extra warmth and comfort and greatly extends the life of the inflatable. Bonus: if the pad leaks, you can still make it through the night and patch it in the morning.
I bought an the thermarest I found on Craigslist. They weigh 11.2 oz. I will test them and let y'all know
The new Neoair Thermarest Uberlite is coming out very soon. It is very pricey and some hikers may look to sell their older Xlite pads.
Keep your eye out for a second-hand deal!

The therm a rest trail scout will be a solid pad for you and hit your price point. You can get much lighter. It cheaper to buy lighter the first time than the second time.
You need to be able to sleep well in order for your body to recover. Two things that worth spending money on: shoes and mattresses. The average person spends 1/3 of their life in bed, and at least 1/3 on their feet. The best pad that I have found is the Big Agnes Q-Core SLX. Way better than the Thermarest.
