Basecamp Luxury
Pair it with a Therm-a-Rest DreamTime sleeping pad and the Mountain Hardwear Pinole 20° sleeping bag.

The clincher on total basecamp comfort? A real pillow. You could bring one from home, but this inflatable model is compressible enough for backpacking (about bike-bottle size), and is so deluxe you might just start using it at home. Baffles reduce any trampoline effect on its three-inch-thick air chamber, and microfiber-covered memory foam delivers luxury softness. Bonus: Elastic cords on the bottom let you stuff jackets underneath, elevating the Fillo for side-sleepers. $40; 11 oz.; nemoequipment.com

I took mine to Uganda and Madagascar and used it as a back pillow on long drives and sleeping pillow in lodges with bad pillows. The ability to easily inflate or deflate to fit the situation made it perfect. It was clumsy to have to carry it around but well worth it in reduced back pain.
I got one. It's a wee bit on the heavy side but it is a luxury after all. When you stuff a jacket underneath the shock cords you get the elevation missing from other camp pillows but your head sticks out of your mummy bag. A great pillow non the less!
