I bought a mattress off eBay for $10 with the dimensions the Amok calls for and slid my Z Rest on top. It works great so if bulk and weight are not a huge issue but coinage is that might be something to look at.
Happy Trails to one and all.
Enjoy the outdoors wisely and elevate your perspective.

Quick update on my sleeping pad journey. I purchased the Exped SynMat 7 LW. Since I'm a stomach sleeper I am leaving the pad fully inflated. So far it's not bunching up on me.
I worked from home today and decided to hang my Amok in the office for a relaxed work environment. :-)

I'm using a LL Bean Hikelite Extra Large pad, R3 78"L x 26"W x 3.5"D. I have two of these. On both the stuff sack has the right size but a label on the pad itself lists the wrong size. At first I thought I got the wrong pad but a measurement confirmed an approximate size of 78 x 26. The hand pump works but takes a while to fill.
I am a new owner of an AMOK. I have an Exped downmat XP 9 LW and a Big Agnes insulated air core ultra (wide long). Both pads work great, but my son finds the Big Agnes more comfortable. Got the Big Agnes from backcountry.com for $140.00. Not cheep, but is very comfortable.
LOL, I like the Exped better myself, But my son likes the Big Agnes better. Sorry, I know that is not much help.
I know they are both quality mats, but the Exped seems to be a little better quality. I went with the regular as opposed to the UL. I will agree that the Big Agnes was slightly more comfortable. I think it is because of the location of the inflation valve. It is easy to tweak the inflation just where you want it by fully inflating it and then releasing small amounts of air while you are in the hammock to get your perfect pressure. The inflation valve in the Exped is at the foot end and not as easy to get to for adjustment while you are in the hammock.
