Big Agnes Air Core Pillow

Hiking & Camping > Sleeping Bags & PadsRated: ***** by 5 reviews.

Mountain Gear

While it might work the part, your rolled up fleece is better left in your pack when it comes to sleeping comfort - use the Air Core Pillow from Big Agnes instead. Simply inflate this thick nylon pillow that uses Big Agnes' sleeping pad construction and fit it into the pillow pocket of any Big Agnes' bag for a night of cushioned, warm sleep.

Features:

  • Designed to fit the pillow pockets of Big Agnes' sleeping bags
  • Eliminate uncomfortable cold spots and ensure stability with the I-beam construction that removes the need for welded seams
  • Mesh stuff sack included
  • Pack this one and don't worry about the space it takes up; when it's deflated, it packs down small and takes up little space in your pack

Mountains Plus Outdoor Gear

This 12"x 16" x 2.5" thick blow up pillow is made of 70D nylon and uses the same I-beam interior construction as our Air Core sleep pads.

Best inflatable pillow I've had.

Rating:*****
Other inflatable pillows can feel like balloons, but the Air Core's I-Beams have a cradling effect, and feel more stable to me.

I got the Big Agnes Sleeping Giant memory foam pillow sleeve to use with this pillow, and I'm totally happy. The Air Core weighs almost nothing, folds/rolls up easily, and packs easily into a bag, a backpack, a purse, etc.

The airlines might stick me with checked bag fees, but at least they can't get me for pillows with the Air Core.

Great product

Rating:****
This pillow works great. Weighs ounces and fits/stores right in the pillow pocket of my Big Agnes (crystal) bag(even when in the stuff sac.). Very comfortable and wide enough so your not searching for it all night. If I could ask for one improvement it would be to add another inch of height to it. However, I just stuff a shirt/towel under it and the height is good for me.

Awesome take anywhere pillow

Rating:*****
I've used this product at work mostly but did use it on a recent backpacking trip. I work in an ambulance and sometimes sitting in front is not comfy. I just inflate this thing and now i got something to lean my head on. It just takes two breaths and it fits in my work bag. Backpacking with it was great along with Big Agnes's sleep pad.

great multiuse pillow

Rating:****
i use this with a thermarest stuff-sack pillow and find the combo works great. my wife likes to use a pillowcase from home to feel more comfy and get a better sleep. a great bonus use is it doubles as a seat cushion when you only have the ground to sit on.

Pillow Talk

Rating:****
Easy to use but too hard fully inflated and too thin at a softer pressure. You need to wrap a fleece garment around this to be comfortable, other wise much better than nothing. Packs up small.
