Rolling up a pillow, especially one designed for travel or easy storage, typically involves removing air and compressing it. A specific method, as outlined in a video reference, involves several steps to prepare the pillow for packing.
Compressing Your Pillow: A Step-by-Step Process
According to the provided reference, here is the exact procedure for rolling up your pillow:
- Open the valve: The first step is to open any valve present on the pillow, which is necessary for air to escape.
- Push the air out: Gently compress the pillow to expel the trapped air through the open valve.
- Fold the pillow in half: Once the air is mostly out, fold the pillow in half.
- Fold in half again: Fold the already folded pillow in half one more time for further compression.
- Roll the folded pillow towards the bow: Roll the tightly folded pillow up. Note: This step is as described in the reference.
- Place the pillow in its stuff sack: Finally, put the rolled-up and compressed pillow into its designated storage bag.
Following these steps allows for efficient packing and storage of the pillow.
