User Review: Exped Air Pillow

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $25

Summary

This is a great, lightweight pillow. My sleeping experience has been upgraded.

Pros

  • Lightweight
  • Packs small
  • Comfort

I had been using a stuff sack full packed with clothes for my pillow. That did not cut it. After reading a couple of positive reviews of this air pillow I gave it a try. I have been very pleased. The pillow blows up quickly in 2 breaths. It packs down super small. I ditched the stuff sack it came with and roll it up with my sleep pad. 

The detail that sets this air pillow apart from others is the shape. It is contoured for both side and back sleepers.  The concave side fits around the shoulders as you sleep on your side. It cradles the head well and has a depression so your ear doesn't feel crushed. 

I expected the pillow to slide off the sleep pad, but it did not. It stays reasonably in place. A down pillow may be more comfortable, but for the weight and price this pillow is hard to beat.
