Spend as much as you can tolerate to get a good one. I have one of these for bike camping: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002WXS852/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 For car camping we now use cots with sleeping pads on top of them. No messing around when it comes to comfortable sleeping!! Somebody else mentioned silk sleeping bag liners. I agree. Packs very small and adds 10 degrees or so to the bag rating if you need it.
