I use a Western Mountaineering Ponderosa
http://www.westernmountaineering.com/
down bag and have for 6 years of homeless travel.
It packs down small, is light and comes in a long length if you are tall.
It is roomy because of it's design and can be opened up fully to use as a blanket when it is warm.
Also forget Thermarest and get yorself a Sevylor CMR20 camping mattress.

It is rubberized cotton and is much more comfortable than any Thermarest. It is very durable, although it is heavy. It packs down pretty small and has a built in pillow. I've also used this for 6 years and am extremely happy with it. It is cheap compared to a Thermarest at about $30 US.
