The following information originally appeared in Trailspace’s “Backpacking and Camping Pillow Comparison” in the Gear Guide:

Pros: Aptly named, the Kelty Luxury pillow is the most comfortable of all the pillows we tested, striking the right balance between softness and support. It feels like a “real” pillow, just a bit smaller. It cradles your head in its center without becoming squashed down or your head rolling off to the side. Its soft cover offers the choice between cool nylon and soft polyester-cotton. Its large size makes it an excellent choice for basecamp.

Cons: Designed for basecamp, it’s too heavy for backpacking and too big to fit inside a cinched down mummy bag hood. It takes a little effort to stuff it back into its stuff sack. Kelty should consider making a half-size version for backpackers, which could be perfect.

The Kelty Luxury Pillow was named Trailspace's Pick for Basecamp Comfort in our “Backpacking and Camping Pillow Comparison.”
