Getting used to my new BMBH. When I side sleep I must have a good size pillow, think body pillow, between my legs (bow legged & bad back), a little difficult to find the space in the pack for this. I gravitate to bottom leg straight & top leg bent. In the BMBH this puts my top leg knee area on the very hard & sharp edge. Great support that is very comfortable for me but I needed a small, light weight solution to that hard edge that won't shift or fall out during the night.
I Cut a $2. Walmart pool noodle in half, made a slit along it's length & fit over the edge ... wallah. Have since cut it down to about 8"L & adjust it to where I need it as the night goes along. Easy to adjust or switch sides without waking up much (even with the net as long as your not too tightly hung). Pipe insulation could also be used which would be even lighter & more compressible but don't know how well it would clamp to the edge.
So for those that give a hoot - a cheap, easy mod that weighs virtually nothing & doesn't take up much pack space.
