Sleeping Pad Advice

I decided to test my gear on a small overnight camping session on a trail I am very familiar with on July 4th (Black Balsam Knob) on the peak. All my gear worked fine with two exceptions.

  1. Despite the temperature for the area being expected to be roughly 70 degrees at its coldest point in the night, I woke up around 2, absolutely freezing, and found my tent interior was incredibly moist on every surface. I used the rain fly in an attempt to avoid any rain and protect against the large gusts of wind. (L.L. Bean 9778 Miro Light Tent)
  2. My sleeping pad was nearly useless. I had seen reviews of this sleeping pad in particular; people were discussing how great it was, despite how thin etc. (Thermarest Trail Scout)

Does anyone have suggestions for a "budget" sleeping pad that might actually help me keep warm at night/provide at least 3 inches of cushioning?
