"Using your jacket as a pillow isn't too comfortable, and a zipper to the eye never feels good either. Sleep comfortably, even when you're on the move, with the Therm-a-Rest Compressible Pillow. Whip the portable Compressible Pillow out on road trips, during airplane travel, or on car-camping adventures."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"For bedtime comfort when far from home, rest your weary head on the Thermarest Compressible Pillow. It compresses to one quarter of its size so it's easy to carry and it can be tossed in the washing machine for easy cleaning."

From REI:
"Packs smaller, expands bigger! This compressible pillow is the ideal size for comfort camping, road trips and air travel. Packs to one fifth its normal 16 x 12 inch size; expands to full size instantly. Earth-smart filling is comprised of leftover bits and pieces of the high-quality foam used to construct Therm-a-Rest® sleeping pads. Machine washable."

Reviewed by Jim Summers, Jul 14, 2008

"I bought this pillow for leg and torso support, owing to knee pain from a knee replacement surgery without such support. The pillow is fine around the house but not thick enough for the support needed. I'm looking for an inflatable for my backpacking and tent camping needs."

"Excellent little pillow! Money well spent on something I originally thought to be over-the-top. It compacts well to a small size and is extremely light. BUY THIS PILLOW!"

"I like this pillow....although mine seems to have noticeably less filler than my wife's (who got hers a few months before me)...whether I just got an anomaly I don't know, but it still keeps my head nice and padded and warm. I got the small size, fits in my mummy-bag head area (?) nicely. Mine seems to compress more over the night, I wish I had hers."

"A great pillow if you aren't too concerned about space and weight. Very soft and comfy. The small size is decent for those who toss and turn, or sleep on their side. Compressible fill expands in a matter of minutes to provide a firm and uniform surface."
