Air beds are notoriously rubbish at keeping you warm, the air inside them gets cold during the night and just sucks the warmth from your body. You really must have some decent insulation underneath you, closed cell mats are very good at insulation but at only 10mm or so thick they are not overly comfortable. I have camped in January, in a tent, in the snow with a "karrimat" (10mm closed cell mat) and wasn't cold because of effective insulation..
A sim is a good compromise, although they are bulky, they provide good (not brilliant) insulation and good comfort. If you can fit it into the car, a 10cm sim with a 20mm memory foam topper is excellent.
If space is a premium, check out the Exped rang of "filled" mats. They produce an inflatable mat "air bed " with a difference, they are either filled with down or a synthetic insulator, both are excellent, they are comfortable and provide a very high standard of insulation.
This is the point where I now get my coat because I mention the words "mummy shaped sleeping bag" I accept they are universally hated on here but if you want a light weight, compact, good nights sleep, then they are the only way to go.
Gets coat, leaves and braces oneself for the abuse ;-))))))))
