Worth Pack Space
7/10/23 Finally, after another crummy neck episode, sleeping poorly on ground, asked around and was recommended this pillow. Bought one. Really. nifty and worth price and pack space. am female, 5'6"back and side sleeper. Can blow up and adjust firmness: yet, packs down well. Good sleep is a non-negotiable. Having a good dedicated travel pillow not a frill, but a necessary item for you to repair your battered body. I will never again sleep with a wadded up piece of clothing for a pillow. This is way cheaper and so less painful than an ortho surgeon or PT when your neck or spine are messed up. Been there. Consider one.

More than a decent backpacking pillow
Very lightweigh, comfortable, compresses down to very little . .the valve is 'funky' - not so easy to use and difficult to operate with cold or wet hands - it does not operate smoothly though it does hold pressure, once you get it open and get it closed.

Obsessed!
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I needed a new pillow since vowing to make the backpacking experience more comfortable for me and heard great things about this pillow. It is super light and packs very small. Everyone is so impressed with how pillowy this backpacking pillow feels. I do wish that it had more height but it will work great in the backcountry.

Great little backpacking pillow
I have used this pillow on a few trips and always times been happy with it. It packs very small, and inflates to be a good usable size, I wouldn't want it any smaller, but it still fits in the top of my mummy bag. Its quite comfortable and easy to inflate. My main issue with it is the valve. I had it pop out a couple times, however never when I was sleeping, only when I leaned on it with one hand or an elbow, however its so quick to reflate its barely an issue. I wish the valve was the same as on their sleeping pads, allowing for inflation with the pump sack, and the slow release valve, however this is mostly wistful thinking. For what it has and is its great.

Great proportions but poor valve and slippery
Its a shame i cant use this pillow. Its proportions (but not the overall size) are very similar to a bed pillow but for me three big issues. 1. The valve is very difficult to use. Simply following the instructions on the valve itself doesn't make it easier. This applies to both opening and closing. In a nutshell, the valve gets stuck in multiple places making it very difficult to inflate properly. Also, in this age flat valves should be standard. They seem to work much better. 2. Why have the most slippery material underneath? Even with elastic stays it still moves too easily while sleeping. 3. This pillow is just a tad small to be comfortable all night. I would increase the proportions a little and allow it to be a bit heavier. Anything up to 180 grams would be fine if the comfort was there. The regular fillo just too heavy at 260grams +. Considering all the above the pillow is waaaaaaaay too expensive.

Well rounded pillow
Quick to inflate, light, good shape and form for head to rest naturally on. I like the jersey fabric like material used. Compresses nicely to fit in pack.

Good ultralight pillow.
Sweet little pillow packs small and does well though a bit more loft could help. Still, anything to help your sleep game.

Got this in a Christmas gift exchange at work and it's my favorite bit of camping kit. Comfy, light as air, easy to clean, incredibly light and small. It's perfect! You need this!

I have an older Fillo Elite (burgundy and pink stripe). On the bladder, the valve is stuck in the closed position. I can no longer inflate or deflate. I have been very happy with this pillow and would like to repair or replace. What are my options?

How much does this product weigh, exactly? Is this the ultralight 3oz. model?

Will this fit in the hood of a Kayu 15?

Dumb question, but how do I remove the pillow case? Does the grommet stretch over the valve cap or does the cap I screw? Don’t want to break anything. Thanks in advance!

Wow, pillow rolls up pretty small! Is it okay to leave my pillow wrapped up like a lemon for long periods of time?
