Months before I am due to Koala land (kangaroo is just too long to write), my cousin brother secretly face book me and ask me to get him a bolster. I don't know what's wrong with the market there either. After hours of researching and talking to bolster specialist in both Lion City and hometown and yes bolster is a very very specialize field of study, I manage to find a way to ship the bolsters to Koala Land.
1. Get a compression bag. BIG one to fit bolsters.
2. Put bolster into compression bag, Zip it.
3. Suck all the air out of it using your mouth. Joking.. use the vacuum cleaner please. You will see the bolster slowly deflate as air is being suck. Stop once bolster can't deflate any further. You might want to rest the vacuum every 30 seconds or so.
4. Fold it into 2 and stuff it into luggage. I use my backpack as carrier. However when we reached the airport, bolster had to go into the big luggage instead. That's another blog story.
5. When you reach your destination, simply unzip bag and let nature runs it course.
Note
Only works with Micro fibre bolster. Micro fibre bolster are more expensive then the average bolster like cotton or polyester. My 2 bolsters cost RM99 and RM79.
The problem with the rest of the materials is that it can't inflate back to original size. Unless you don't mind your bolster flat as a pancake, you gotta clench that sphincter and go for the more expensive bolster.
