Using this Trekmates pillow is a breeze. Just take it out of the stuff sac, fluff it up a bit, and it's ready to use whether you're in a tent or on a plane. When you're done, simply roll it up and put it back in the stuff sac. To keep it clean, spot - clean the outer textile with a mild detergent if there are any stains. Avoid machine - washing the pillow directly as it might damage the filling. Also, make sure to dry it thoroughly if it gets wet. Store it in a dry place when not in use to maintain its shape and quality.
