Perfect fit: How to maintain a reliable quilt/comforter to Z- Lite connection
I’ve been asked several times if the button hole elastics method will work to connect a quilt onto a foldable mattress like a Z- Lite. The answer is: Yes and no. Button? Yes! Holes? Too. Button hole elastics? More less than more. :- ) [...]

Note: This is not my idea. In fact, the idea might be as old as the invention of the air mattress. But it is stil a good one:

How can you use the T-shirt as pillow cover? Don’t you wear it?
Do as you like. I usually have long sleep clothes in my pack, typically a pullover and a leggins made of type 100 fleece that also serve a spare warmth.
Is it for a reason that you turn the T-shirt inside out?
Yes, it’s simply the skin-side of the shirt.
Doesn’t the T-shirt smell to much to rest your head on it?
Well … no. I use a T-shirt made of merino-mix, that does not accumulate so much bad smells. When I take it off in the evening it ist mostly dry already and the smelly stuff has damped out.
What do you do if it gets really cold and you’re need to wear your jacket inside the quilt?
I do what I always do: Improvise, vary, re-think. What’s the worst thing to hapen? Just to sleep one night without a pillow. But before it comes that far you still have oportunities: Put your shoes under the mattress. Or the food bag instead. Or just use your day trousers instead of the jacket as pillow fill. Or two handful of leaves in a plastic bag. It will not be an emergency, just a small problem that is easy to solve.
What for are the black elastics on the sleeping mat that can be seen in the video?
They have nothing to do with the pillow and sevre as a quilt attachment. Details and my video about that can be found here (method B).
