idk which therm a rest you were looking at but for the cost of their basic model
you could get a mattress topper
my cousin slept on a mattress topper on a piece of ply wood in a van when she traveled cross country and loved it. said it was the most comfortable bed she ever had
I camp in the states (Midatlantic region) with the Eureka Apex 2 tent (http://www.amazon.com/Eureka-Isis-2XT-Tent-Sleeps/dp/B0064L4DMU/ref=dp_ob_title_sports).
I've had this tent for 3 years now and camped in summer, spring, fall and winter (so anywhere from temps of 90 F down to 9 F. It is easy to set up, spacious for one person, and has great ventilation.
Major points:
As for a sleeping pad, I use a thermarest pad like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Therm-A-Rest-1737-Basecamp-Large-Blueberry/dp/B002PW8SCI/ref=sr_1_5?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1368118918&sr=1-5&keywords=therm+a+rest+sleeping+pad
Has held up for several years. Slim, rolls up tight to save space, uses memory foam and self inflates once unrolled. Gives me a decent nights sleep even on hard ground.
Good luck and have fun!
