Has anyone tried putting these in a compression sac for travel (or storage)? Do they keep their loft when you take them out?

I have not tried this. This pillow was a gift for a friend who needed it when sitting outside and in fact I had additional fill added to the pillow before it was sent to make it more comfortable. Sitting on a hard surface such as a bench is very painful for my friend without a soft cushion. This particular pillow purchase was never intended for travel, so I cannot answer your question, unfortunately.

I have travelled extensively with my pillow and it works very well! Difficult to find a small compression bag so I use a one gallon zip loc bag. The pillow keeps its loft after removing it from the bag.

I have smushed it into nothing and fluffed it back to original loft. Best travel pillow I have ever used. And you can get higher loft if you want.

All pillows (I buy a lot of pillows) usually come compressed to a point. I don't exactly remember the packaging of these pillows because I've had them for a while. I do know that however they were packed did not effect the pillows themselves at all. My concern was that they were in perfect shape and they were.

It is perfect for any storage, if you get bags that stay sealed. I purchased the original space bags decades ago. They have never lost air & I have reused them. Since then, I have purchased what was labeled as "original space bags." They lost air an hour after sealed. I thought I'd give these a try. I'm hoping they work. They are a wonderful space saver when they do work.

My husband and I have stored these successfully in the past. They always bounce right back. Whether or not there is a limit on the number of times you can do this, I don't know. I would also wonder about the length of the storage time. We don't store ours for very long periods because they are constantly in use.

Not really. They keep air out. They will not keep pressure in the container-it will go flat

Hi. My son and I took these when we went to London. We too had only carry on luggage. The pillow does compress pretty well and if you have the strength in your hands, you can get it to about the size of a can of vegetables. I got mine into about the size of a small coffee can. Once you put it in the bag and tie the drawstring and use the Velcro, it stays in the size you managed to roll it into. We did not put them into the suitcases; instead, we hooked the drawstring a few times around the suitcase handles. The pillows are very comfortable and supportive while in use. I am glad I purchased them. Hi. My son and I took these when we went to London. We too had only carry on luggage.

I dont see why there would be a problem with flying i would just not fill them completely. We put ours inside of gallon zip locs just in case.

You should deflate the air mattress first. There'd be no way to store it + the mattress, and I would be concerned about the mattress getting caught in a pinch-point when you folded the cot and then springing a leak.

I flew with them filled and everything worked out just fine. Be sure to follow the fill instructions and don't overfill. I also put them inside gallon ziploc bags in the event they leaked. The added precaution proved unnecessary though. Enjoy!

they are self inflating. It suggests you do not blow into them because you will add moisture into the pad and it could stick together. They are not air mattresses. They are light and provide about an inch of comfy padding for camping or hiking. I store mine open and they remain fully airated until I go camping and then I roll them up. Good luck.

Although I have never done this I am an engineer and it should not lose its springiness over time. BUT I WOULD NOT store them that way, I don't know what you mean by over time?

Because they're modular, they can be stored virtually anywhere. We have limited space so we stored ours in the garage. Great product and highly recommended for limited space. Ar

This does have some loft to it so if you want to fold it and store it, it would be somewhat equivalent to folding up a comforter- perhaps the size of a rolled up sleeping bag? I hope this helps

I move them a lot, and have not had any problems either. Sandbags can work to stabilize them in windy conditions if needed.

I have not used them with an air compressor. Whether they could be-I would try it myself based on the money invested.

Absolutely! We keep one in our diaper bag, one in the bedroom (to lay our child on when nursing him at night) and one under his mattress. These are great.

It doesn't store exactly like a rollaway, but I do think it would be easy to store under another bed, basement/attic or a large closet. The queen size comes in two halves, each which fold in half with clips holding the two pieces together. I don't know how hard the clips are to get off once they are on as I haven't tried.
