Mine is more comfy than a sleeping mat and sturdier than an air bed, doesn't seem to deflate in the heat the same way thanks, that's exactly what i'm after, my back isn't as young as it used to be!!

A top tip is to stuff your sleeping bag stuff-sack with soft clothes (down jacket being the optimum in comfort) and use in combination with your inflatable pillow. In one of the vlogs I was watching this week, someone had bought a couple of pillows on site. I think it was Barbster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those blow up camping ones are always too small and hard so tend to bring in normal ones. However Im with Shelter on the bars this year and have to travel by coach so they will be a bit too bulky. Anybody know if they sell pillows on site anywhere? I got one on site in 2015 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody know if they sell pillows on site anywhere? A bit pricier than most other options, but the camping pillows by Sea to Summit are a lot nicer than average - specifically the Aeros Down and Aeros Premium ranges - they come in a range of sizes, have a small amount of padding built in so don't feel so abrasive, and pack down really small. The trick is to blow them up to about 75% full and they work a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody know if they sell pillows on site anywhere? I bought a couple of these in 2019 and they're great, smaller than a regular pillow, lovely soft fabric and you just stuff it full of clothes so it's easy to bring and take home afterwards. Dunno if it's cheaper elsewhere, maybe worth checking? https://www.raymears.com/Bushcraft_Product/389-Therm-A-Rest-Trekker-Pillow-Case-Grey-Print/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody know if they sell pillows on site anywhere? I take a regular pillow but use a vacuum bag so it sucks all the air out and makes it into a small size that fits in my camping bag. I also do the same for clothing. Edited April 27, 2022 by MaseTMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
