- Good day folks Ben from Snowys today
with some Sea to Summit Pillows.
These are their foamcore pillows.
♪ Hit it ♪ - These pillows are filled
with upcycled bits of foam that are cut out of their mats.
They've got a nice soft stretchy face fabric
and offer a similar support
to the pillow you've got at home.
I've got two of the foam core pillows unfolded here
in front of me, the regular and the deluxe.
And the regular is the smallest one
which measures 34 centimetres, 24 centimetres,
and about 13 centimetres in height.
Then there's a large that sits in between here
and the deluxe which is 56 centimetres in length
36 centimetres across this way
and about 15 centimetres in height.
Now, when they're packed up
I've got three different sizes here.
So this is the regular, the first one I showed you.
This measures about 24 centimetres along this one
about 10 centimetres in diameter.
The large here, about 30 centimetres in length
and about sort of 11, 12 centimetres diameter
and then the deluxe here is about 36 centimetres in length
and about the sort of 13, 14 centimetres in diameter.
It depends how much you squash them up.
And the weights are from 220, 300 grammes and then 450 grammes.
So three different sizes there.
Now one of the pillows themselves and how they're made.
This outer fabric here
is a soft stretchy 50D polyester on top.
It's got a bit of a brush feel to it.
It has a nice soft feel.
Underneath that there's a polyester layer
between the outer and the foam inside
to kind of give it a bit of wicking moisture
and a bit of a sort of smoother surface
against the foam inside.
And the foam, is a little die cut pieces
that they cut out of their self-inflating mass.
So instead of throwing them out they upcycle them
and use them to fill these pillows here.
So it means the foam inside is really high quality.
It bounces back to it's fully expanded state
and offers a good amount of support.
Now it does have this little flat on the end here.
Now this is part of the pack up
or what sort of retains it all when it's folded up.
And it does have this sort of storage pocket
on the side here.
So you can just keep keys are essentials
sort of in a handy spot I suppose
right next to where you sleep
and each size has got that in it.
So this has quite a large pocket on this one.
You kind of seal the pocket on top.
It's just an open pocket
but maybe a pair of gloves or a beanie
something you could put in there
to easily to find at night.
And packing these up is nice and easy.
You just lay it down and fold it towards this little patch
of sort of Velcro hook and loop closure here.
So, with that facing up,
you just roll it like this, fold this over the top
and this sticks to the fabric on the bottom here.
So now retains it in that position there.
Little hook on there or little loop on there if you like.
See, I don't know why you maybe hang it off of something
or just somewhere to store it
maybe in the back of the car
or hang it up in your tent during the day if you like,
but that's ready now to go in your pack.
Now when you store it don't store the pillow like this
store it inflated like this if you can or expand it
that way the foam itself has a memory of being expanded.
When you go to use it, you roll it up
then unfold it and returns to this state really quickly
again when you get to camp.
The more you wash these the more they puff up.
Chuck them in the machine, wash them.
That foam keeps expanding
and actually gets firmer and firmer
and this is probably one of the firmer
sort of foam-filled pillows
that I have felt across the whole range.
So yeah, a really nice pillow.
That is the Sea to Summit FoamCore Pillows.
I'll mention one other thing.
They are what they call their pillow lock compatibles
little logo here. Sea to Summit mats
come with little patches
of hook and loop closures.
You stick it on the mat.
This can then stick on the mat
stops it from sliding around at night
so you don't lose your pillow.
So, a nice comfortable pillow
probably the closest hiking pillow you'll get
to the one you've got at home.
