To be honest i have never fastened it to anything.<br />I also use a 5l bag that i put my tent into. I use this more than my 2l bag and it normally stays put with it being more pillow shape that tube shape.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244476622175417322.post-74604271010419570552012-01-17T09:38:07.543+00:002012-01-17T09:38:07.543+00:00Louise - I'm not sure what you mean!

How do you stop the bag sliding away from you?<br /><br />John - thanks for taking the time to leave such a detailed comment - I am certainly considering a kind of combination approach - an air pillow at the core of some softer clothing and then put into somekind of bag or Buff to keep it all together.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16317036646487413481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244476622175417322.post-23807560671073422732012-01-17T09:13:34.715+00:002012-01-17T09:13:34.715+00:00I am in my 60s, overweight and arthritic, so comfo...I am in my 60s, overweight and arthritic, so comfort is important to me.<br /><br />I use the Exped air pillow that you described as "Another shape". It weighs 85 gm and packs up small. There are good-sized openings for inflation and deflation, which are more robust than the fiddly tube on the Ajungilak pillow I used before. At night, the Exped pillow is stuffed into a lightweight snood, which I carry anyway. The snood is just a thin fabric tube, and will dry on my head in the tent if it gets wet during the day's walk. The snood improves the feel of the pillow and stops it sliding about. It may also protect the pillow from abrasion, or from being stabbed with a spork.<br /><br />As with an air-bed, comfort depends on putting just the right amount of air in. When you have achieved that, it is doubly important that the pillow does not deflate in the night. So far, that has not been a problem.John Greennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244476622175417322.post-43672605520420691702012-01-17T05:38:08.383+00:002012-01-17T05:38:08.383+00:00I'm with you on this.

Soooo comfy you wake up never knowing you missed the star show.
