Hey Tom I've had countless pillows over the years.the depth of the pillow is the main thing for me as a side sleeper I use the seats summit now but in large it would be perfect if it had a pad strap.
Yes they have velcro which attaches to a sea to summit sleeping pad but obviously no use on other pads... I really like mine though and as I said I just stick it in the hood of my sleeping bag... best wishes Tom
Great video Tom, that's the one thing i
can never get right is my pillow.Can never find one deep enough being a side sleeper 😢
Add your own strap if you want
@@wobblysauce yes I have seen the guys do that...
Try the flextail zero. Thick and strap!
Love my SeatoSummit Aero Premium (large version) pillow. Perfect for both side- and backsleeping on my Ether Light pad. Pillow lock system is genious.
Never use any of my other pillows (Thetmarest, Nordisk etc.).
Hey great to hear and I really like mine too.. Very supportive, ultralight and super small pack size... Not sure if you have the deluxe model as cant find the Aero Premium model? I appreciate your comment... best wishes Tom
I went through a bit of a camping pillow saga a year ago. Started with Sea To Summit's foam core pillow, but as a side sleeper I was constantly waking up with a pinched nerve in my neck. Otherwise it was great and supportive and comfy.
Then a Nemo Filo, but it wasn't quite stable enough.
Then a large Thermarest compressible pillow which was amazing, no different to being at home. But it had a huge pack size.
I then got the small compressible pillow that was too small and not high enough.
Finally I got the medium which is great.
With the compressible pillows, you can pull the cord in the back which tightens it and stops it squashing as much so it maintains more height.
Hey great advice here and thank you for sharing your experience of many pillows.. It will lots of others who read the comments... Best wishes Tom
As a side sleeper, I never find any camp pillow high enough
Must be some way of propping one up a bit.. Believe it or not I have sometimes for many nights used my camping pillow at home to train myself to get more comfortable with it... Best wishes Tom
Pillows. Could become an addiction trying to find the perfect one that balances comfort, pack size and weight. I also find some are stupidly expensive for what they are. I’ve tried a few and keep coming back to the Trekology Aluft 2.0. Cheap, lightish (100g), small pack size, comfortable, comes with a pad strap and great for side sleepers Only question mark is durability. The valves can be suspect.
Hi Gary, well I think I am pretty happy here.. I really like the Kilos gear one but also the Sea To Summit.. One for comfort one for ultralight....I liked the Trekology but it deflated so kind of lost confidence in it.. It will be good to try out the Kilos gear over many camps as as you know it can take a few camps to really decide... best wishes and thank you for the detailed comment as usual.. Tom
O sorry Tom, I fell asleep during this one😅 I thought you were going to play a tune on the second pillow. Joking aside, your the man to see on any gear tests. Cheers Tom.
Hi Marty, nice one I should have thought of that... A few years ago there were only a handful of pillows now there are almost hundreds so difficult to choose... best wishes and thank you for watching and commenting on the video.. Tom
Hi Tom, I was wondering what size is the term-a-rest pillow in this video? I think they come in small medium and large.
Hi, this one is a medium.... I checked out my receipt from a year ago as I thoughts someone might ask.. I suppose I should have mentioned that ha ha... best wishes Tom
@@TOMHEANEY100 Thanks Tom much appreciated 👍I remember watching a previous video of yours (I believe) in which you said the therm-a-rest was the most comfortable does it still stand if weight and size are not an issue? curious as to your thoughts.
@@El-Jefe Hi its a tough one... I suppose the Thermarest is slightly more natural in feel compared to an air pillow... It does compress a bit though with the weight of your head so the air pillows are higher and better for side sleepers... I do change my opinion if new gear comes out and its better than previous gear...I hope that helps its as straight an answer as I can give... 😁
@@TOMHEANEY100 Thanks for the reply you helped me make my decision based on being a side sleeper. Much appreciated Tom 👍
@@El-Jefe Very welcome 😁
What do you use to record your footage?
Hi it's a Sony ZV E10 with the standard kit lens.. Used Sony for years and I actually dropped this one onto tarmac and it still works perfectly.. Best wishes Tom
@@TOMHEANEY100 do you use that for your camping in stormy weather situations too?
@@AJ_Alive Yes yes not waterproof but weather sealed.. Would cover it in heavy rain
Can't help meself aye. They takin the mick...pull the piss...
"I use the seats summit"
or best so far...
"the term-a-rest pillow"
Cheers all for the entertainment!
Well a few jokes are welcome on this one.. I should have edited in some snooping sounds so I missed an opportunity... The seats summit is a decent little pillow... Best wishes for a restful nights sleep on your next camp... Tom
