Build a timber frame and insulate it with Celotex or Kingspan PIR foil backed rigid foam insulation available, in various thicknesses 12mm -200mm, from most builder's merchants.

You won't get the same insulation (U value) with a camping mat that as you would using a decent thickness of Celotex. :wink:

Though one is more practical, cheaper and easier to do than the other.
