NEMO Fillo Elite Pillow

Product Information

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. If you tend to camp in cold weather, find a sleeping bag with a rating geared for colder temps. This also applies if you tend to sleep cold. Often, these will have venting options that let warm air out if you get too hot in your 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 Comfortable, inexpensive, maintains its support during sleep, quiet, designed for mummy bags, relatively lightweightNemo'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. 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.

Some pillows include a more secure feature made up of elastic straps on the bottom of the pillow. The straps wrap around the sleeping pad to hold it in place. 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. Closed-cell foam pads are thin and light, but extremely durable and they provide consistent insulation. Because there’s no inflation involved, they are impervious to tears and punctures. 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.This pillow will please the vast majority of campers due to its superb comfort, adjustable support, and washable external layer 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. 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)

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. First, look for a spot on level ground. Not only is camping on angled ground uncomfortable, but it will also have you fighting to stay on your pad all night. This mix is perfect for side sleepers, letting you inflate the pillow to just the right amount of loft to let you sleep on your side without cranking your head toward the ground. In addition, the polyester jersey outer feels great against your face and soaks up drool (not a listed benefit, but we’ve verified this during repeated tests). 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.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. When choosing a car camping pillow, comfort is king. Go for a bigger pillow and one that uses foam filling. 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 One of our favorite details of this premium inflatable pillow is the three-way mini valve, which allows for rapid inflation and deflation. It also features a press-button release valve to let you fine-tune the pillow’s softness to your preference. 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.
