About this deal

They’re heavier and usually more expensive than foam pads and not as compact as inflatables. They are also susceptible to tears. Lightweight and durable, these are popular for thru-hiking. They’re also popular for winter camping trips thanks to their insulative properties. Stay Warm

Nemo's Fillo Elite Pillow is not only small and lightweight, but also extremely comfortable to use thanks to the layer of Primaloft insulation. The updated soft cotton jersey cover feels soft against your skin and can easily be removed and washed which is always a plus after long trips away. The size is great with an 8cm depth for comfort and plenty of cushioning to keep you comfy even if you move around in the night.The Fillo’s adjustability covers a wide range of pillow height preferences. The inflatable cells with engineered baffles allow you to increase the pillow height to over 10cm. This is only a luxury if you don't normally carry a pillow, otherwise it's just a top quality version of many of the other travel pillows out there. Store your headlamp by your head, preferably in your tent’s storage netting. That way, you can grab it when nature calls or if you hear something outside your tent that requires investigation. Few things feel better than getting warm and cozy in a sleeping bagon a cool night. So, be sure to get a sleeping bag that’s designed for the environment you’ll be camping in. In general, the more features a pillow has, the higher the price will be. Lighter, more compressible pillows tend to cost more than their heavier, bulkier counterparts. On the plus side, well-established companies like NEMO and Sea to Summithave spent more time developing their products, dialing down more durable and comfortable designs.

We’ve found that a pillow that combines foam cushioning and an air core like NEMO’s Fillo is a great compromise between the two. Upcycled foam from the brand’s production process is used on the head side, and the core is inflatable for extra loft. Rain is an easy fix. If there’s any chance of rain while you’re camping, set up your tent’s rainfly. Make sure that it’s cinched down to prevent the wind from blowing it away.

Analysis and Test Results

Cocoon’s Sleeping Bag Hood Pillowhas a thin layer of synthetic fill over the air bladder for a soft feel at the head. One thing to note is that, when fully inflated, air pillows can feel too firm for some campers. Make sure to use the valve to fine-tune the softness of your pillow. Thankfully, many camping pillows have features to prevent this. Some pillows are made with a contoured shape to mold to your head. Others have scalloped “wings” that help conform the pillow to your head and shoulders. This prevents it from squeezing out from under you while you sleep. If you turn it inside out and stuff it with clothes, it makes a great pillow. And at just an ounce, you’re not going to find a lighter option. Also, you’re using gear that you’d be bringing with you anyway, so you don’t have to save space for a pillow. Durability Also, store your boots just inside your tent’s entryway, or just outside it. That way, you can slip them on when you wander outside to make coffee. Ideally, your tent will have a vestibule so you can keep them outside without exposure to any potential rainfall. Be Prepared When you shop for a pillow, determine your must-have features, weigh them against your budget, and find a camping pillow that’s best for you. If you’re new to camping and still trying to figure out what kind of pillow you want, go for a good budget pillow. It’s a great way to test a pillow without making too big of an investment.
