When I started to up my camping game, I bought two of these 'self-inflating' pads for me and the lady and was super super happy as they are very very comfortable.
Thermarest LuxuryMap self-inflating air mattress.
Only problem is, they take a while to setup and they don't pack very small. Yes, they do roll up to a nice compact roll, but nothing like the straight air mattresses out there. I picked up one of these NeoAir xlite pads that was similar in size to the others I bought but it packs down to literally the size of a water bottle. Amazing.

'max' means its square, not mummy shaped
'sv' means it has a roll top so inflating/deflating is WAY faster
This is more of a backpacking air mattress in general but to be honest even when not backpacking I love packing light and small. The fact that I can fit an entire sleep system (pick up a nice sleeping bag and inflatable pillow to go with these) in my bag along with a weekend of clothes is pretty amazing to me. Beats the hell out of crashing on someone's floor or couch if you're visiting.

Onnnnly caveat to the xlite is the 'crinkle factor'. It is a bit noisy and depending on you and your partner it may be annoying. I find that when i'm alone it doesn't bother me at all but if I'm with a partner it can disturb them....this may be more to do with being in a 'camping environment' vs just sleeping at home but whatever...the more you know ;)

edit: also research the r-factor concerning your note on the cold. An R- value of 3+ is generally plenty, which both of these pads have. The cheapies on amazon are very very low R-value, like 1.x. Not ideal for a lot of conditions.
