Therm-a-RestAir Head Down Inflatable Camping and Travel Pillow

I think this little pillow is pretty rad. The down on the cover is really soft. I like the color. It’s big enough to be a legitimate pillow, it deflates into a nice small size that takes ups very little room and adds barely any weight to your pack.I debated between this and a foam pillow that I could compress. My concern was that if it pops it’s useless, however the foam pillow definitely added more weight and took up more space and I tried them both and this one is more comfortable. I figure if it does pop and I can’t patch it, at least I still have this soft down case that I can stuff with clothes or leaves or something and still fashion some sort of pillow. I dunno. Hopefully it won’t pop, it seems to be made out of quality material and I can’t imagine I’ll be very rough with it.Long story short, I really like it.

It's a nice pillow. The materials all see to be good quality, the down provides a little insulation and makes it feel less like a balloon and the size is perfect for wedging into a mummy bag head hole. For slide sleepers, and I am one, it might seem a little thin for that, but the way it's shaped lets you tuck it up between your head and shoulder and it's perfect. If it was any thicker it'd be bad for back sleeping, so I think they made it the right way.The valve is not ideal, but it's okay. Once you get some pressure in it it'll try to deflate once you take your mouth off so just close the valve as you're blowing and that won't happen. The way it sticks out looks like it'd be annoying, but I don't even know it's there when I'm using it. At least it doesn't pop out of the hole in the cover like the Trekology pillows with the flat valves do. Also because of the simple valve design it's (probably) not going to pick up dirt and start leaking, again, like the Trekology pillows do.

The ‘works like a good pillow’ is a real compliment. Some camp pillows want to be round balloons, so my head rolls to one side or the other. This one acts like a pillow with a bit of concavity. Packs very small and light. First useful backpacking / motorcycle camping pillow.

The pack size is great but if you can spare just a tiny bit more room I’d go with the NEMO fillo. It’s so much more comfortable.

The media could not be loaded. I was looking for something light and compact for travel that would be similar to my favorite down pillow at home. This is not it.It is definitely compact and packable! Despite being an inflatable with down, it does not marry the two well.We travel a lot, and I’ve used a variety of different travel pillows. I don’t like inflatable pillows generally because of the sound and feel. Mostly, I tend to take my big down pillow from home (which can definitely be a hassle!).For backpacking, I am going to have to find something at least a little more packable. I will probably end up sacrificing some space for the sake of comfort and go with a smaller 100% down pillow.update: i did find a perfect solution, yay!if interested, see my other travel related reviews.

Pillow was easy to inflate and deflate. Fit into a mummy bag, but also could work well outside of the bag. Down layer is warm and comfortable!

Love this pillow for travel. I had my doubts until I used it in India. You can wag the material. Don’t leave home without it.

Thru hiking the AT in 2022 and this will be my new bestest friend!! :) Stop counting ounces like a weirdo-pack for SOME comfort for crying out loud! Hiking is hard, you deserve to be as comfy as possible on the trail while you rest. This pillow is amazing. You can inflate and deflate as much as you want for literally a perfect level of comfort. Super plush pillow top too!!

It is very important to note that this is an inflatable pillow and will feel and behave as inflatable pillow when used. However, it is well constructed and warm due to dawn filled top. It is great to use for air travel due to packed size being very small. It is also great for hammock.However, I do not like using it as a pillow on a foam camping pad as when fully inflated it is very high, when sufficiently deflated for me it feels like inflatable pillow. It would definitely work for backpacking trip but shredded memory foam is my preference for car camping.

Although there is a bit of down padding in this pillow for comfort, at the end of the day, it still feels like an inflatable pillow and as such is very uncomfortable.

Ein qualitatives und sehr angenehmes Kissen, auch in Large nicht zu groß fürs Flugzeug.

Niet de allerlichtste, maar wel een comfortabel opblaasbaar kussen voor trekkings. Buitenhoes is met dons gevuld en apart te wassen

Excellent item, worth the price tag
