Pillow Strap

About

After years of curating their gear for backpacking trips and multi-day kayaking adventures, Brian & Rita still had the same issue with their sleep setup that everyone suffers from: as both sleeping bag and quilt users, they couldn’t find a solution to keep an inflatable pillow in place all night. With some time during the 2020 lockdown, Brian took a trip to the fabric store, pulled out his green Kenmore sewing machine he inherited from his grandma, and decided to craft a solution. That fall, he and his partner Rita took a week-long kayaking trip to test the prototype. After two years of prototyping and testing, they finally found the ideal design and materials that were simple yet effective, and thus Pillow Strap was officially born in March 2023!
