SUL pillow won't stay level - how to fix neck angle?

altitudeaddict

Expected the thin SUL pillow to sit level with my pad’s 1.5 inch thickness once I was in the bag, but it ballooned up on one side and left my neck cranked the other way. Tried deflating it halfway through the valve. Dropped to under an inch and my head hit the ground on every roll. Switched to loose clothes fill instead. Hit 2.5 inches but shifted every time I moved. Not sure which adjustment actually fixes the angle without adding weight.

altitudeaddict the clothes fill shifting is probably from not having any side tension to pin it in place. Try rolling the whole thing inside a lightweight stuff sack and giving the cord just enough pull to keep the height steady on one side. That keeps the angle without extra bulk.

shelterbuilder that tension trick with the sack could hold the height on the neck side without letting it roll. altitudeaddict if the clothes still creep try tucking one end under the pad edge so it can’t slide out when you turn.
