ALPS Mountaineering Versa Pillow

Super small, light, and comfortable This is by far the best pillow yet. Packs down to the size of an apple. Put just enough air in for comfort, the plush surface is wonderful to sleep on. This is my new go-to pillow, Nice job, ALPS!  Looks like it will hold up well, ALPS has a great warranty and stands behind their products. Been camping with this two times, looking forward to many years of service. Full review

MEC Deluxe Pillow

This is my dream pillow for camping. Compacts small, and inflates large and firm. Colours: "Cardinal Red Foliage Print" or "Asphalt" Sizes: Medium is 27.5 x 39 x 12 cm (10-3/4" x 15-1/4" x 4-3/4") Large is 30 x 49 x 12 cm (11-3/4" x 19-1/4" x 4-3/4"). Fit & Comfort (8/10): The fit is appropriate for side-sleepers who need a thicker, firmer pillow. Other sleepers (back/front) can also deflate it to your liking, if you prefer a thinner pillow. The shredded memory-foam makes the top surface really… Full review

NEMO Fillo Elite Ultralite

Excellent, super light pillow. Excellent, super light pillow. Designed to fit into the head sleeve of my Nemo Disco bag. Pretty comfortable for me as I don't require a ton of head support. Inflates and retains air well. So far, very pleased. Full review

Klymit Pillow X

This pillow is not comfortable for me. Although the Pillow X is well constructed and easy to use, the X-shape creates an uncomfortable sleeping surface that can create noise when you move around at night. To make matters worse, the material itself is noisy and uncomfortable. The trouble I have with inflatable pillows is like the trouble I have with inflatable air pads like the Therm-a-Rest NeoAir and Klymit's own Static V. I have found that for me they are supportive and keep your body out of contact… Full review

Klymit Pillow X

Lightweight. Deflates to almost nothing. I am a hammock camper. I got one of these several years ago on Mass Drop. Have never been happy with with the other pillows I have gotten as the down pillows compress to almost nothing and offer no support and the synthetic fill pillows while offering support do not compress enough, taking up valuable space in my pack. Easy to inflate and easy to deflate. My only concern is the possible buildup of mold inside from the condensation from my breath. Took a few… Full review

Klymit Pillow X

Love this pillow. Cradles your head, so comfortable. Easy to blow up and deflate. Packs down so small. I received this pillow bundled with a Klymit insulated mat I purchased. I was pleasantly surprised. The X design is perfect as the middle of the pillow forms an indentation for the occipital part of your head. The edges of the pillow can easily be adjusted to your desired thickness by adding or subtracting air. If you sleep on your side just put your head on an edge or fold the pillow in half. Full review

Sea to Summit Aeros Premium Deluxe Pillow

It's a very good pillow. I brought a Sea to Summit pillow from Addnature Poland in 2017 (Sea to Summit Aeros Premium Poduszki podróżne Deluxe szary/niebieski). It cost me 257,98 zl. This year it started to lose air. l sent them what happened: The pillow loses all air within a hour. It seemed to happen slowly at first while camping a month ago (l use a camping bed). It just lost air, and l just topped up once in two days, but last week l was again camping for two days put air into the pillow and… Full review
