I have heard a lot of buzz the last couple years about the Nemo Fillo. I was looking online and noticed there were 4 or 5 different types. Does anyone have experience with the Fillo? Is it worth the price?!

Not sure about the different models. I have the one with the shock cords on one side for putting in extra loft like a jacket. I really like it and have had it for a few years now. Yes it’s worth the price in my opinion.

I have the original one and really like it. Worth the money.

I started out with the standard Fillo which I thought was great... until I tried the Exped down pillow which is even better. Now I'm wondering about the Fillo Elite Luxury Pillow. I like the extra height of the Exped pillow though because I am a side sleeper.

Between Luxury, Elite Luxury, Ultra Lightweight Elite Luxury Ubersoft Fantastico, I'm going to go out on a limb and say they are small variations of the same pillow. I've got the original and it is very comfortable. You can buy three cheaper pillows that aren't as comfortable. If going ultralight camping isn't your thing, I'd just stick to the original.

I don't remember which is which, but I have the tiny backpacking one that doesn't have extra foam. I sleep really well with it, and it takes up no space.

Regular Fillo user here. I think it's the best camping pillow out there.

When I got mine there was only one, but it's now known as the Luxury because it has the bungee straps on the backside to stuff a coat or whatever into it. Sent it back once for a leaking bladder & they replaced the bladder with a newer version.

Original nemo fillo here. I thought the price was a bit high too, but I am so happy with it. It is made well, with a lot of thought put into the design. Folds into itself into its own attached/never lost stuff sack. You can remove the bungees if you think they are not necessary, but I put my clothes under them for the next day. It washes well, is peachskin soft, inflates in 1 to 2 puffs. I can sleep...for a length of time in any position. It's also not like a balloon that shoots from under your head.

To each their own. Bought two of them years ago and did not care for them, neither did my wife. My mistake was someone else’s gain, sold them on this site and I assume that person is happy.

The new EXPED down pillow is intriguing. I currently use a down pillow from Goosefeet that has a pocket built in where I place an UL xlarge EXPED Air pillow.
