I believe they all do.
The first time I did it, it was a little awkward because the stuff sack is inside out until you put the pillow in it. Fold the pillow's edges into the center, fold it in half to make a rectangle, keep it folded with one hand while placing the other in the stuff sack, and then begin working the stuff sack over the pillow from the bottom up. Tada! The pillow is in the stuff sack, and the stuff sack is on the right-hand side. side in.
Yes. My Fillo fits perfectly in my Teton mummy sleeping bag.
You pull the valve out by twisting it.
Selected User Reviews For Nemo Fillo Pillow - Inflatable Camp Pillow for Backpacking or Travel
After some research, I decided to purchase the regular-sized Nemo original. I weighed the options for the elite models, which are identical but wider, because they are lighter and pack smaller if that's your thing. I wanted the best comfort, so I weighed the options for the luxury models, which are identical but wider. I realized that my head is only so big, and that the extra room would be a waste of time, so I went with the right one. This is a fantastic pillow. The valve works; a one-way valve would be better, but you can stop the air by simply pushing it down with your mouth, then twisting it to lock it in place. I'd also like to point out that, contrary to what some youtubers have claimed, the foam is NOT memory foam. I'm not sure why they insist on saying it. It's a nice, thick foam, but it's not "memory" foam at all. It's a great pillow, so snag it if it's on sale!.
Pillow has a fantastic valve and a fantastic concept, but the chemical odor is horrifying. After three days of airing out, the smell is still there. I sent Nemo an email three days ago, asking if I should be concerned, if it was safe, and what I should do. Nemo doesn't seem to mind. After three days without a response, I'm guessing they've made their money and aren't interested in you any longer. As a result, I would not recommend this pillow; who knows, it could be toxic because it is made in Taiwan, which is officially the Republic of China.
It's critical to recognize that there are two types of trips: Trips where you drive in and bring a grill and trips where you hike in and carry everything on your back travel the distance. When you're carrying everything you need for your trip on your back, three things determine whether something goes or stays for me. br>1) Do you require it? For me, I don't sleep well without a pillow, and I also have a hard time falling asleep or waking up, so if I'm not comfortable and can't fall asleep or wake up, I'm not going to sleep, and that can ruin the enjoyment of a trip entirely, so a pillow is a must. I also don't improvise a pillow out of jackets or clothes because they eventually get worn out and become cold, wet, dirty, or smelly, So a pillow is required for my trips; however, this may not be the case for your sleeping habits. br>2/3) Dimensions Weight - Even if something makes a significant difference in terms of comfort, it must be light enough to be carried on my back while not taking up more space than is available in my backpack when combined with all of my other food, water, shelter, and warmth requirements. br>br>As a result of these three factors, there are two main types of backpacking pillows: br>1) Inflatable - This is one of the most common types of inflatables. These are bad because they can deflate, causing you to sink into them; they're all made of some kind of plastic/rubber material that feels like sleeping on a dodgeball; and if they leak and you can't fix it, you're left without a pillow. br>2) Reduced in size - These are terrible because they compress into tiny little balls for easy transport and usually weigh a lot more than inflatable pillows, and because they are designed to compress when you sleep on them, you tend to push right through them and only get minor comfort. br>br>And then I tried this pillow, and it solved literally every complaint I had. Because it has an inflatable air bladder inside to keep it firm, you can't push through it like a down pillow, and it doesn't feel like sleeping on a dodgeball because there's a layer of down and then cloth around the air bladder to keep it comfortable. Even if the air bladder leaks, you can stuff it with something and sleep on a down pillow-shaped object rather than a pile of (possibly dirty) laundry in the worst-case scenario. Because of the air bladder, it can use a third of the down required for a small down pillow while only weighing a few pounds more than a far less comfortable inflatable pillow. It even has a cool stuff sack built right into the pillowcase to ensure that it takes up the smallest amount of space possible (roughly two apples side by side). This concludes the discussion. br>br> I've always wished for a camping pillow like this.
The off gassing is still overwhelming for anyone who has tried it after more than a week of being opened and exposed to the air. It's strange that it's still so potent after all these years; perhaps ours is a one-off dud? Because I'm surprised no one has written anything about it, and any room it was in initially smelled.
It has an internal storage bag, which makes it easy to store without having to keep track of a separate bag. The Nemo Fillo has an ergonomic valve and a foam layer on top of the air bladder for maximum comfort, and the cover can be removed and machine or hand washed for a clean pillow. Overall, the Nemo Fillo is a fantastic camping pillow that is well worth the money. Anyone who values a good night's sleep should give it a try!.
It is without a doubt the best camp pillow I have ever used. Although it isn't the lightest or smallest package available, I believe it is still one of the best all-arounders available in terms of weight, comfort, and features.
It does a good job. For a couple of days, I detected a chemical/rubber odor. I blew it all the way up the first time out, and it was way too hard; I let most of the air out, and it was perfectly comfortable.
The cover fabric is pleasant to the touch, and it feels more like a real pillow than a blow-up toy when you sleep on it. When packed, it's not the smallest, but the extra space is well worth it.
