I went in a hang not too long ago where one of the gals said that of all her hammocks she still uses (and prefers) her $20 hammock. I asked where she found a hammock that cheap and she pointed me to the Grand Trunk ultralight that DuctTape mentioned above. I bought one (because, heck, it's only twenty dollars!) and this weekend will be my first test in it.
As for intro pads... I'd like to submit: a car sun shade. I got mine at Walmart.

A buddy said his took him down to 50° (but just barely, it was still a little cool). I've had mine down to the mid 60s and been just fine. I had the idea of buying two of them (got mine on clearance for $5 ea.) and glueing them together.
My trip this weekend is supposed to get down in the low 50s, so we'll see how good a double layer does.
Oh, and the weight of the two doubled up is 25.6oz (1 lb. 9.6oz)
