I usually just put a jumper under or on top of a pillow as I sleep with my arm under the pillow and you can't do that while camping! Especially in winter. Have you thought about getting a trekology pillow? They are excellent.

I don't have a real personal opinion on it. I purchased it at a discounted price and after several uses, it kept deflating while I slept by about 70-80% Turns out it had a fault valve. So I requested a swap and it turns out they no longer stock it. In the end I purchased the Thermostat NeoAir xLite. It is lightweight and compact, and one night it didn't deflate. That was a very comfortable sleep nor did I get that feeling of falling off. I seriously question the r-value though judging from other videos I have watched. Klymit have yet to update their mats with the new ASTM and I can personally see it dropping.

It's really sad that SNP has banned wild camping meanwhile promoting Tom Weir and erecting a statue of him Loch Lomond shores. More building in the last 10 years in loch lomond since the national Park than in the last 70 years in Loch Lomond. We're loosing our right to roam and people are sleep walking into it. Glad Monty is wild camping and enjoying Scotland the way it's supposed to be. Away from Loch Lomond national park profiteering.
