Don't know if I'm the first with an UQ from the famous KMart $10 pillows or not, but after a good week in the shop got the UQ done. Used 1.1oz from DIYGear, no-seeum, and the requisite grosgrain and shockcord. Dimensions 56" x 44", was shooting for the 2.5-3.0" loft.... using 2.5" baffles. The UQ calculator is by far the best utility for planning one, and I stuck to it like glue. Final weight 25.6oz, used 18 oz of the down. Gotta say I think the 550fp I was thinking I had was probably a little better, the photo below shows it lofting between 3 and 4 inches. Only able to stay in the hammock in the 75 degree shop for about 1 minute, in the 68 degree living room, had me sweating sitting under it within 5 minutes, gonna be toasty!
