Fit and Sizing

Pillow Sizing

The stretch fabric allows Pillow Strap to accommodate inflatable pillows of various shapes and sizes. The listed measurements are the upper recommended range to ensure a long life.

Small Size

Fits inflatable pillows up to 14 x 11 inches (35 x 28 cm). The small is also the ideal size pillowcase for use with puffy jackets or loose clothing as support material.

Medium Size

Fits inflatable pillows up to 18 x 13 inches (45 x 33 cm). The medium size is a perfect fit for our Camp Pillow.

Large Size

Fits larger sized inflatable pillows up to 24 inches wide x 15 inches tall (61 x 38 cm). Large is not suitable for pillows that would fit in a smaller size Pillow Strap. 

Sleeping Pad Sizing

Small and Medium Pillow Strap will fit around sleeping pads measuring up to 25 inches (63 cm) wide and 4 inches (10 cm) thick or 58" (147cm) total circumference. 

Large Pillow Strap will fit around sleeping pads measuring up 30" wide x 5" thick (76 x 13 cm).

If you have a wider sleeping pad, you can use one of our extension straps.

Sleeping Pad Shape Compatibility

Most camping sleeping pads work well with Pillow Strap. Rectangle pads or mummy-shaped pads with a slight curve at the head end are ideal. Closed-cell foam pads pair with Pillow Strap but will fold up a little on the sides. Mummy sleeping pads with a very steep curve at the top (such as Exped) do not work well with Pillow Strap.

We have tested this design with a variety of sleeping pads. If you have questions about if a pad will work send us a message with the model. Here is a graphic to help illustrate inflatable pads that work.



Size Guide Chart

This chart is to help guide you to the correct size for your pillow. Review the meanings in the key below and on the a desktop OS you can hover your cursor over each colored square for a second and see a tip that may give more. Some pillow widths may be slightly longer than our max size recommendation. This is because every pillow has a unique shape. For instance, a narrower pillow will allow the pillow strap to stretch more comfortably width-wise. So a 20" narrow and thinner pillow will still fit the Medium size.

Color Meaning
Indicates a perfect fit with a little room for a thin layer on top if desired.
Indicates a slightly loose fit with no additional layers but would still work.
Indicates a very tight fit. Would work if you prefer slightly deflated pillow. Fully inflated could cause seam stress over long usage.

If you have any questions or a pillow is not on this list, please reach out to us on the contact page.
