Sea to Summit Aeros Ultralight Inflatable Camp Pillow

The Sea to Summit Aeros Ultralight Pillow is an inflatable backpacking and bikepacking pillow built for weight-conscious sleepers who refuse to sacrifice comfort on the trail. Its contoured shape, brushed recycled face fabric, and 11cm loft deliver genuine head support, while the included PillowLock System patches keep it anchored to your sleeping mat through the night. Available in Regular and Large, with four color options across both sizes.

Gram-Counted Without Cutting Corners

The Regular Aeros Ultralight Pillow weighs 55g and packs to 7×6.5×6.5cm, roughly the size of an egg, making it lighter and more compressible than the Aeros Premium series. For thru-hikers and bikepackers tracking every gram, that difference compounds over days and miles. The Large packs to 9×6.5×6.5cm at 80g, still compact enough to tuck into a hip-belt pocket or the top of a stuff sack.

Stays Put All Night

The Aeros Ultralight Pillow ships with self-adhesive 3M PillowLock System hook-and-loop patches that bond to most camping mat surfaces. Once attached to your mat, the patches grip the pillow's scalloped base and hold it in position without snagging on sleeping bag fabric or clothing. The concave sleeping surface and scalloped edge also cradle the head and center around the shoulders, reducing the chance of the pillow migrating during the night.

Dial In Your Firmness in Seconds

The mini XPRESS valve integrates a one-way inflate port, a rapid-dump deflate port, and a fine-tune adjustment into a single low-profile unit. Inflation, firmness adjustment, and full deflation each take seconds rather than minutes. The TPU polyether laminate bladder resists hydrolysis for long-term durability, and the valve's silicone flap holds air reliably between adjustments.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

The Aeros Ultralight Pillow suits backpackers, bikepackers, and thru-hikers who prioritize low pack weight and compressed volume without giving up a shaped, adjustable pillow. The Regular size fits inside the hoods of technical sleeping bags, making it a natural pairing for mummy-style bags on multi-day trips.

The Aeros Ultralight Pillow is not machine washable and must be hand-washed and air-dried. The Large size may not fit inside sleeping bag hoods. Beluga is available in Regular only.

Common Questions

Is the Aeros Ultralight Pillow machine washable?

The Aeros Ultralight Pillow is not machine washable. To clean it, close the valve, use warm water with a gentle kneading motion, and allow it to air dry completely. Do not use a dryer.

How do you inflate and deflate the Aeros Ultralight Pillow?

The Aeros Ultralight Pillow uses a mini XPRESS valve that handles inflation, firmness adjustment, and deflation quickly without tools. Owners of a Sea to Summit air sleeping mat can turn the Airstream Pump stuff sack inside out to reveal a nozzle sized for the mini XPRESS valve, speeding up inflation further.

Will the Aeros Ultralight Pillow slip off a sleeping mat during the night?

The Aeros Ultralight Pillow ships with self-adhesive PillowLock System hook-and-loop patches that attach to most camping mat surfaces and grip the pillow's scalloped base, keeping it in place through the night without snagging on sleeping bag fabric.

Does the Aeros Ultralight Pillow fit inside a sleeping bag hood?

The Regular Aeros Ultralight Pillow fits inside the hood of most technical sleeping bags. The Large size may not fit inside a sleeping bag hood but can still be used for head and neck support while camping.

How does the Aeros Ultralight compare to the Aeros Premium Pillow in weight and packed size?

The Aeros Ultralight Pillow is lighter and packs smaller than the Aeros Premium Pillow. The Regular Aeros Ultralight has a packed weight of 57g and packs to 7×6.5×6.5cm, making it the lighter, more compressible option for weight-critical trips.
