At first there was a strong foam smell on the pillow but after about a week it dissipated and now there is no smell. The pillow has a nice layer of foam on the top that makes it much more comfortable than a regular blow up pillow. Makes my ear happy. Lol The valve is solid and with weeks of daily use it has held its air very well… no leaking. It has a built in pouch for storing that works well and is very convenient. The colour is very nice and comparable to the pictures on amazon. I would highly recommend.

Super confortable

After watching a bunch of reviews I decided to buy this pillow to hopefully replace my full size normal pillows I bring to camping trips.You get an air pillow with some foam on top: Really nothing special about it. It feels absolutely nothing like a real pillow. If you blow it up tightly, the neck angle would be way too angled, and it just feels a usual air pillow with some padding on it. If you deflate it a bit it gets quite noisy and wobbly. I've been laying on this for 45 minutes and I hate it: My neck is already starting to hurt. I would not pay more than CAD $30 for this. Strongly debating sending it back or selling it.

Die kombination aus luft und schaumstoff ist sehr gut. Die luftkammern geben die höhe und der schaumstoff den komfort. Hab noch ein memory foam kissen von decathlon halbiert und mit rein gepackt. Jetzt passt es zwar nicht in die eh schon sehr schmale Hülle die dabei ist, dafür aber perfekt für seitschläfer.

I'm writing a follow-up to my original review for two reasons:1) I got an email notification saying someone had asked a question based on my review (and now my ego is inflated so sit back and enjoy me, a random stranger, ranting and raving about a pillow)2) I genuinely felt bad about the three stars I originally gave this pillow (again it only had to do with the smell and not the actual pillow)I did go on my backpacking trip (as if anyone actually skimming this cares). It was awesome, and that was helped considerably by the level of comfort achieved by my sleep setup. Holy shit is this a nice pillow! ...Either that or I was just exhausted at the end of every day. But I'd like to think it was the pillow. It was quiet, nicely cushioned, and the level of adjustability was off the chart (a lot of the time I didn't even need to inflate it all the way to achieve my level of comfort).Now my earlier review sited the smell as really bad. It was. However, the key word there is "was". I received the NEMO Fillo about a week before my trip, and was initially let down by the extreme chemical smell coming from it. I did some more reading and found that apparently Memory foam is just really smelly because of the chemicals used to make it. So it had nothing to do specifically with NEMO or the pillow. I washed the liner, and air dried the whole pillow outside for the entire week (overkill maybe) but it ended up eliminating the smell.With that cleared up, the question posed was "Does it have a way to strap it to your mat?" My answer? Well yes, but actually no. If you look at the picture on Amazon, and anywhere else (videos on YouTube, etc.) you'll notice it does have a little loop on the side but that's not really for strapping it to anything. I guess you could try jerry rigging something using said loop but good luck. There are different sized versions of the NEMO Fillo pillow though that do have an actual strap for putting around your sleep mat, but this size version does not. I myself didn't find this to be a huge problem, because I was using a bivy cover, and it fit nicely and never slipped out.One last thing to maybe take away before purchasing is that this is a luxury pillow (at least in my opinion). So, if you go camping/backpacking like I did (in 90+ degree weather, high humidity, sleeping under the stars, with, at most, one shower opportunity for a month+), prepare to have a possibly damp, stained pillow. I was sweating a LOT, and as a result, the pillow, being made of an actual foam material, and a cloth cover, absorbed some of that moisture. Now while this may seem obvious to many, I was not really thinking about it at the time of purchase because I was looking for a comfortable (and compact) pillow, that I could use all year round. So I rolled the dice and got a foam pillow. That being said, when I say damp, I mean SLIGHTLY, and when I say stained, I mean just the cover which is machine washable. The pillow has been washed, and has recovered perfectly. So this is less of an "avoid this because..." and more of a "I didn't anticipate sweating and drooling so much". So if you don't sweat or drool (we get it, you're cool) or perhaps you get to shower regularly while camping, go for it. But if you are human and sweat and occasionally (I swear it's never happened before) drool, still go for it.*It also rained every other freaking day. So to be fair there weren't a lot of drying opportunities.*Anyway! NEMO Fillo pillow....you should get one because they're awesome pillows! The best? Idk. Pricey? Eh yeah but what isn't when it comes to camping gear? Luxury? Sure(?) Worth it? Yes!*I bought the 'Abyss' color (softer cloth cover material)**I'm a side-sleeper and this pillow was still really comfortable

It is simply the best pillow I've ever had for regular camping adventures. Second to none.
