Hello there,
Just wondered if anybody had tried attaching a pillow to a neo air. For the last few years I have been using a Montbell comfort system mattress, which has holes and toggles to attach the montbell pillow. I have found this very comfortable (and still light). On a summer backpack, the mattress delaminated (I wondered if I was under attack) and now has a Hunchback of Notre Dame bubble in the middle! I have bought a neo air, which is very light and very comfortable, but I miss the pillow option. Just wondering if anybody has tried to attach a pillow.
Thanks

Yeah,
been using this for years and never regret it. With Exped UL Med.

Sep 21, 2016 at 4:08 pm #3427374I use an Exped UL Air Pillow in a size large, wrapped in a Goosefeet Gear Down Pillowcase. It works exceptionally well with the NeoAir pad given the horizontal baffles.

Sep 21, 2016 at 5:49 pm #3427395Velcro with adhesive backing. Easy peezee and it works perfectly. Put the loop/soft side on the pad though. Use 4x – 1″ squares.
