Integrated Sleeping pad/Pillow

Being able to adjust inflation levels separately is preferable. You’ll always have a fully inflated pillow doing it this way.

“Preferable” for who? Inflating pad and pillow independently would be preferable for me, but Garrett, if it’s comfortable for you then go for it. Added bonus: cutting your pad will void any warranty on it, by not cutting it you would preserve your warranty.

The inflated levels work well for my particular preference in comfort (pillow height). The non-sliding issue helps as well. The warranty policy is good to know. Looks like I’ll be giving this one a shot.

Great idea. I’ve used my shoes to prop up my pad but didn’t think to use shock cord. What are the specs on the cord?

As a side sleeper is difficult to get enough height on pillows and still have enough cushion to be comfortable. A firm couple inches as a base and a soft jacket on top to finish is the best setup I’ve used, but requires warm enough temps to not need to wear the jacket.

Thanks Paul. The shock cord is 25” around from the knock itself. I was rather optimistic prior to its setup, however it works great for me… so far.  Oddly enough, its more comfortable than my Nemo Fillo. Don’t ask how or why as I still can’t explain the reasoning behind it.

I must have extra stinky feet or something cause I would never want my shoes near my face at night. I’m throwing up a little in my mouth just thinking about it.

When I first read the title I thought you were going to open the pad up, and slice away a baffle to make a pillow mound. This is much less destructive.
