After many years, the light blue valve insert piece fell out of my Aeros pillow. I sent a message to Sea to Summit and they shipped me a replacement piece for the valve insert, which I just installed. Good as new! Thank you, Sea to Summit.
Wondering what the difference was between this and the old one, just looking, it's just the material on the outside. We have 4 of the older aeros large, and they are amazing, highly recommend them, great for the family. If you have sleeping bags with hoods, you can put them in the hood and it will hold them in place. I need to get another one, as one of the kids is now old enough for their own pillow and I get a new one :P lol
I'm pretty sure it is just the cover, possibly a slight change in the size of the valve, but I can't recall exactly sorry. I think the old covers were removable, this one is fixed but you can still easily give it a clean. ~ Ben
Sea to Summit have a pillow lock tabs that come with their hiking mats, but they don't sell the separately. You could try contacting them directly to see if they have any they can send you. ~ Lauren
Not for pillows, MarinosCh, but the down or foam filled pillows will offer more insulation than the air filled ones. It's more important to make sure you have a good mat for insulation from the ground. ~ Ben
Snowys is about as dangerous a place for a consumer as Bunnings is. Go in to buy one thing only, walk out with four items and not the thing you went in to buy in the first place!
Sea to Summit have a pillow lock system with their mats to address this, it's simply some hook and loop take on the mat to secure the pillow. If you don't have a Sea To Summit mat you could try and do something similar with some self adhesive hook and loop tape. Otherwise I'd suggest tucking it into your sleeping bag hood. ~ Ben

We like dealing with Sea To Summit, great products and great customer service. ~ Ben
I just bought one. Laid my head on it and wow, it's the most comfortable pillow I have. I'll be taking it out for a camping video soon.
These are a well considered and comfortable pillow, much more than a bladder in a cover. ~ Ben
Great review mate. That’s sooo cool. I’m loving the little cut out to tuck into neck more and that little needle release valve thingy. Very clever.
I reckon they are the best inflatable pillows around. ~ Ben
Thanks for the video and the inflating tutorial! Just bought one :)
You're welcome. ~ Ben

Thank you for explaining the valve . . .
You're welcome. ~ Ben
Great review! Do you think this is thick enough for side sleepers or should I go for the large?
I'm a side sleeping and have both - I prefer the large!
~ Lauren
I have one of this and it is comfortable, but it slips away on an air mattress when lying on it, i have to keep adjusting, is there a solution?

A bit late but you can put a shirt under your pillow, that should stop it from moving
This guy is so good.
Thanks, Jude. ~ Ben
Do the Premium and Down have temperature ratings? Are both good for freezing cold situations? Or is one better than the other?

@Snowys Outdoors thanks Ben
Great video.

Haha, I'll second that, l214laus. ~ Ben
How do you stop it from sliding about?
