Getting wet in the middle of the night is a great way to ruin a restful evening. One common way to soak your sleeping bag is to get caught in a rainstorm without a rainfly. Another is to let condensation accumulate on the tent’s inner walls. When it comes to pillows, there has always been a trade-off between weight and comfort. Softer, fluffier foam pillows feel great when you go to bed, but the added weight can drag you down. It’s a lot easier to get a good night’s sleep when you know where everything is. When you head to bed, make sure everything you need is close by and easy to find. The Fillo King really lives up to its billing. With a luxurious soft feel and up to 15cm worth of comfort in terms of height when fully inflated this is a serious treat for any camper. The style of the pillow is also worth considering. Foam-filled pillows are softer and replicate feather pillows better than inflatable ones, but the additional weight and space requirements can be an issue. We’re fans of pillows that combine the two, whether the cushioning is actual foam or a lightweight synthetic fill.I was under the impression there would be a layer of "fluff" between the top of the pillow (my head) and the air bladder, but apparently it's just free-floating inside the bladder itself.

While the bladder itself may be a lot more resilient than I am expecting (ie. puncture resistant/leak-resistant), I can't seem to figure out why the "fluff" inside even exists. This pillow will please the vast majority of campers due to its superb comfort, adjustable support, and washable external layer

That way, you can grab it when nature calls or if you hear something outside your tent that requires investigation.We like to flatten our pillows out and roll them up in our sleeping bags.

(Photo/ Sea to Summit) Few things are more annoying to a camper than trying to keep your pillow on your sleeping pad. Waking up with your head on the ground and blindly groping around in the dark for a missing pillow is a great way to ruin your sleep at 1 a.m. 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.

Some ultralighters will even cut down their foam pads to save weight. Also, they set up instantly — just lay them down, and you’re good to go. On the other hand, they don’t provide the cushioning of an inflatable, and they take up a lot of space. 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.
