Hot take: I thought the $90 camp pillow was a scam until night 3 in the Ozarks

I grabbed a Nemo Fillo at REI in Fayetteville before a 3 night trip in the Ozarks and I fully expected to return it. The first two nights I hated it, kept sliding off my pad and I woke up with a stiff neck both times. On night 3 I dropped the air pressure way down, like barely inflated, and something clicked because I slept straight through till 6am without moving once. My cheap $12 pillow from Walmart never did that, I just thought pillows were supposed to suck when you camp. Anyone else find that these things have a weird break in point or is it just how you inflate them?
