Although I really love the simplicity of evazote and even have one for yoga it takes up too much space backpacking. Self-inflating pads are more grounding than inflatable ones, but their weight render them challenging.
That's why I've landed on a mylar film pad that packs smaller and provides more direct warmth than inflatable pads of similar R-value with synthetic or down fill. Its stretch knit top is more comfortable and much quieter than older pads with static top fabric.
