Sorry, couldn’t decide if this was better here or over in MYOG but wanted a wider audience. Looking to use some lefotver materials to make my wife a lighter pillow. By my calculation, I can use my .66 membrane and some leftover Apex and it should come out to around 5oz. She doesn’t want to sacrifice comfort and doesn’t like a down jacket stuffed as a pillow so I’m trying to find the middleground.

My question is, for the weight, is Apex really going to be the best option since it compresses so much? I have never weighed a basic poly fill but I’m wondering if I would be able to get more loft for the same weight? I’m willing to buy a bag if you think I’m on the right track but I’m just not sure if it’s heavier than Apex for the same loft completing excluding insulating properties.

Thanks!

Apex is engineered to compress for storage.  Not so good as a pillow.  But it would work.

I got a cushion from patio furniture.  From Goodwill.  And cut it open and got a piece for my pillow.
