I think a wider mat with a decent quilt might fix that. Another bugbear of mine was a shit pillow, or the lack of. I did buy a Sea to Summit pillow to try get a decent kip which I hope to trial soon. Looking along Kiwi Ultralight range for the quilt. There's a nice quilt on the for sale here, but a little too warm for me.

I'm wondering about going this way too, I saw a teenager using a rather good looking pillow from Mountain Warehouse, was quick to deflate into itself too.
