Question 1

What size should I choose if I'm a side sleeper? I'm worried about the pillow being too small or slippery.**

Accepted Answer

For side sleepers, especially if you have broad shoulders, we recommend sizing up to the Large version. The Regular size is better suited for back sleepers or children. To address slipping, many users on TikTok and Reddit suggest inflating the pillow to about 80% capacity—this allows the material to slightly depress and grip your cheek, preventing it from sliding off a smooth sleeping pad. You can also slip the included stuff sack between the pillow and your pad for added texture.

Question 2

How do I actually inflate and deflate this? The valve looks confusing, and I saw a comment saying it takes forever to deflate.**

Accepted Answer

Inflating is straightforward—simply open the large flap and blow in 3 to 4 deep breaths. Stabilize the base while blowing to maintain good airflow. For deflation, open *both* the large flap and the secondary small valve at the same time. This dual-opening creates a fast escape path for the air, allowing you to roll the pillow up much quicker than a single valve system. It's a two-finger operation once you get the hang of it.

Question 3

I read that the pillow loses air overnight. Is there a trick to keep it inflated until morning?**

Accepted Answer

Minor air loss over 6–8 hours is common with most inflatable pillows due to temperature drops and valve micro-leaks. To minimize this, ensure the flap is pressed flat and seated in its recessed groove (listen for a subtle click). A specific trick shared by hikers is to over-inflate slightly before bed; as the pressure equalizes through the night, it will settle to your ideal firmness. Also, ensure the pillow is on a flat surface initially—the cold ground stiffens the TPU, which users sometimes mistake for a leak.

Question 4

Can I use this in a hammock, or is it strictly for tents and the ground?**

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, it works in hammocks due to its narrow profile. However, you’ll likely need to re-position it under your neck curve rather than under your head—suspending your head in the hammock's "cocoon" changes the support angle. If you're a hammock camper, inflate it to only 50% so it can mold to the hammock’s incline; a full inflation will push your head forward, causing neck strain. Many users pair this with a carabiner to clip the stuff sack to their hammock ridgeline for easy access.

Question 5

Is the cover actually removable for washing, and does the pillow survive a washing machine cycle?**

Accepted Answer

Yes, the cover is removable—just unzip it completely and wash it on a gentle cycle with cold water; it air-dries in a few hours. The inner bladder (the plastic part) should *never* be machine washed. If you get dirt or sweat on the bladder itself, wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap. To avoid needing to clean the inside, we recommend waiting until the bladder is fully dry before folding it back into the cover to prevent mildew growth.
