About this deal

We like to flatten our pillows out and roll them up in our sleeping bags. This serves not only to add an extra layer of protection but also to keep our sleeping gear together so we don’t have to search for the pillow when setting up camp. (Photo/ Sea to Summit) Also, they’re notoriously noisy. Many campers report that it’s like sleeping on a bag of chips. If you’re a light sleeper and don’t want to sleep with earplugs, inflatable bags may be too loud for you. 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.

Nemo's Fillo Pillow is extremely comfortable to use and the microsuede cover feels really soft against your skin. The cover can be easily removed and washed which is a bonus after long trips away.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. 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 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. 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. Nemo's 2020 Fillo Elite Luxury 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. This version of the Fillo is huge, with a 9cm depth and a huge area of cushioning to give you maximum comfort and the best nights sleep possible.

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. Though not as small as an inflatable option, this pillow is the lightest compressible pillow we've found 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.

Condensation can be more difficult to deal with. However, a little care can go a long way in preventing moisture from building up inside your tent. Even if you only use your pillow inside the tent, debris like pine needles and twigs can get into the tent. These little bits can eventually find their way to your pillow and find a way to puncture it in the middle of the night. The best-case scenario is a level patch of ground that’s covered in loam or pine needles that’ll act as a good, soft area. If you’re camping on bare ground, no worries. Just make sure that it’s level and clear of debris. A good sleeping pad will take care of the rest (pun intended). Choose the Right Sleeping Pad 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.

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. Comfortable, inexpensive, maintains its support during sleep, quiet, designed for mummy bags, relatively lightweight 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.

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. 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. Before you shoot me, I realize this pillow isn't UL, but I am a side sleeper and I like (need?) a nice pillow to get a decent night sleep.
