UOG TOP PICK – for Backcountry Comfort Seekers: With a foam-inflated hybrid design and soft microsuede cover, the NEMO Fillo delivers real-pillow feel and all-night support, perfect for campers who prioritise sleep quality over grams.

Nemo says: 

Our award-winning Fillo backpacking & camping pillow brings clever design to an often-overlooked piece of gear: the humble pillow. To create a camping pillow worthy of its weight, we designed the interior with a baffled air cell to help it retain its shape, then covered it with a thick layer of luxury foam for cushy give. A soft, machine-washable cover is the final touch for a pillow that`s just as soft and cradling as yours at home; one that feels generously sized, but packs surprisingly small. Armed with an unobtrusive, ergonomic valve and integrated stuff sack, Fillo is quick to inflate and deflate, and stows away at a size not much bigger than a russet potato, making it a worthy addition to your next camping or backpacking overnight. (Plus: It’s equally dreamy for flights, long roadtrips, or providing lumbar support at home.)

Our Verdict

The latest version of the NEMO Fillo hasn’t strayed far from its winning formula, and I’m glad for that. At 240g, it’s not the lightest in my kit, but when sleep quality matters, this is my go to. A soft foam layer and an inflatable core give it a natural feel under the head, especially when slightly under-inflated. It cradles well and doesn’t have that bouncy sensation.

The microsuede cover is soft, removable, and easy to wash. I wish it came with some way to secure it to a mat—though slipping it inside a baselayer and pulling it over the pad does the trick. Inflation is quick, and the low-profile valve allows for fine-tuning.
