Verdict: The smoothest rough sleep around. But in the tramping game of compromise, I’m happy to sacrifice a little space and weight for a product that makes me smile with each use. Ultralight and ultra-comfortable, the Exped Air Pillow is made to help you recover after hard days on the trail. EXPEDs extra-large deflation valve ensures fast deflation and the generously sized, velcro-strap-equipped stuff sack eases packing. 3' of open-cell foam provides excellent support. It’s no lightweight, however, and stuffed into its sack, it’s almost as large as my inflatable mattress. Using technology from EXPEDs famous MegaMat, the Deepsleep Mat offers edge-to-edge, 3D comfort with a cozy brushed 75 denier top fabric. It’s silent, soft and warm, and equally as comfortable as my pillow at home. To sleep on, this pillow is a game changer. Within five minutes, the wrinkles in the plush fabric are stretched smooth, and the pillow takes on a bouncy resistance like bread dough.
Baggy and limp, it looks under-stuffed and uncomfortable, but, like magic, it slowly inflates as the foam expands. When first removed from its stuff sack, the pillow seems a huge disappointment.
I’ve tried expensive inflatable options over the years, and I make a mean pillow out of a down jacket, but Exped’s Deepsleep has taken the cake as my new favourite sleep accessory. The DeepSleep is lightweight and compact, utilizing foam-fill. I can’t fall asleep in cars, on the couch, or on an uncomfortable mattress, and if my pillow isn’t comfortable, it’s all over. The EXPED DeepSleep Pillow is a plush alternative to underwhelming inflatable camp pillows.
