We have two relatively large emergency blankets (foil lined on the inside with thick, safety orange plastic on the outside). We put those over the tent and under the rain fly along with some poncho liners.

That setup along with a closed cell foam pad for the floor has let us handle weather below freezing.

Just remember that you can suffocate if you seal everything up too much.
