| To address some of the concerns that maybe haven't been touched on - my concern with a compressible pillow was whether or not it would stay "poofy" enough to make it worth bringing a pillow along. I had always stuffed clothes into the sleeping bag sack. Granted it's not going to be your posturepedic at-home monster of a pillow...but it does very well. When you first bring one home, don't fret. Just take it out, fluff it a few times, and you'll see it stays nice and poofy. To get it even more so, run it through the wash and drier. That's when it really shines. I just got back from a weekend camping trip and it was one of those luxuries that is really worth the extra oz's and space in the pack. For those deciding between the large, medium, and small...the medium seems to be a good balance between weight, packed size, comfort, and fitting into a sleeping bag. In other words - for me this works perfect. I CERTAINLY would not need any bigger...even if space and weight weren't an issue. | |

This pillow comes with a surprise! | |

| I bought this pillow for the occasional backpacking trips I take with my husband. After a successful first run, I was satisfied I had made a good choice.On the second trip out in very dry weather I was astonished to see, whenever I touched the pillow, static electricity INSIDE it! It was dark when I first noticed it, and I couldn't believe my eyes at first. But after waking my husband and having him confirm what I saw, we now call it my "lightning pillow" as the electricity looks like lighting inside the cover. It doesn't come out and make shocks or mess up my hair or anything, but it is very entertaining! This pillow is a great comfort to an old lady, and it squashes down and fits right into my sleeping bag stuff sack. | |

Better than I originally expected | |
| Rating: | |
| I'm usually pretty picky about even regular bed pillows, and while my fiance seems to be able to sleep with his head propped up on a rock, I've NEVER been able to sleep through the night while camping. I must admit that I was skeptical about this pillow at first - it seemed so lumpy! - but it actually got better through the night (as it expanded, I assume). My only advice would be to unroll the pillow a little while before you intend to actually sleep on it, but I suppose that depends on your thickness preferences. As for convenience, it's light enough and compact enough that I don't mind giving up a little extra room in my backpack for a decent night's sleep. And I like the color. :) | |

The BEST backpacking pillow I've tried! | |
| Rating: | |
| I have tried other camping/backpacking pillows on the market, and have been sorely (literally) disappointed with them all, until I met this pillow! It is great for backpacking as it compacts nicely, but when you are ready to use it, it expands by itself to a larger size. It's great because you don't have to blow it up and feel like your sleeping on a balloon. The foam inside naturally expands when you open it up and the whole thing is just warm, fuzzy, and cushy, like a little cloud. This is the most comfortable camping pillow I've ever tried and cannot recommend it more. | |

Don't leave home without it! | |

| Great pillow. Takes up very little space. If you like a soft pillow, store it rolled up. If you like a firm pillow, fold it in half, stuffing the top under the storage flap. Need it to be more fluffy? Soak it and throw it in the dryer. The medium size is perfect to fit in the hood of a sleeping bag, but big enough that your head won't roll off it. What a huge difference in comfort, especially when paired up with a thermarest pad! | |

PERFECT!!! | |

| This is the perfect camping pillow. never again will I sleep on a smelly t-shirt shoved into anything! The filling is interesting. This pillow gives medium spport when unstuffed. If you need a firm pillow you will not like it. It rolls up very tightly and easily and takes up very little room in my pack or my trunk depending on how I'm camping. My wife and kids love theirs too. They use them on road trips as well. | |

Great Comfort | |
| Rating: | |
| Initially bought a small pillow but as the weight difference is minimal I traded for a medium size and was glad I did. I just love this pillow for camping and its useful in the car too. Its very comfortable. The pillow could compress a little more and some might consider it bulky, but its one item I won't leave behind. | |

| when i first opened this, i did not like it because the piller did not expand. When i took it backpaking, we set up in the afternoon, and were outside all evening. when i climed into bed, i noticed that it just took a few hours to expand. i thought it was a lot better then sleeping on my clothes. | |

Great pack pillow | |
| Rating: | |
| This a great camp pillow. It takes a few moments to fluff up (and even seems a little lumpy at first), but after given a few moments to decompress it works great and is super comfy. I would imagine it would work great as a travel pillow as well. Don't listen to all of those negative reviews out there. | |

| I just purchased four of these pillows -- for my husband, our two daughters, and myself. We have only used them on one campout so far, but we loved them! Not a complaint from anybody, not even the 5-year-old, who usually has a complaint about almost everything, so these pillows must really be magic! | |

Flat by Morning | |
| Rating: |  |
| This product seems like a great idea, after all who doesn't like therm-a-rests? Well what I found is since it has no air-holding ability the pillow compresses under your head just like a therm-a-rest mattress would do if you left the valve open. So what starts out as a wonderful feeling pillow ends up flat after a couple of hours. It's not so bad if you don't have to roll it up each day but still not so good. | |

Does not expand | |

| Looks nice, but the filling was all separated and lumpy. I put it in the dryer to fluff, it didn't help. If you need a good pillow camping, this is not it. | |

Too thin for a pillow | |

| I actually returned this product because it didn't provide much support. I would rather sleep with a sweatshirt rolled up under my head. | |
