inflatable pillows
« on: April 11, 2017, 07:24:37 AM »
I've decided I'm too old to keep using a bunched up coat as a pillow. Time to add an inflatable pillow to the pack for this season. I'm looking at the exped and sea-to-summit pillows. What are you guys running?

I have an exped that works great.  Packs up small and weighs under 3 oz.  Seems quieter than the sea to summit, but I haven't slept on one of those.

You all know I run the Exped one. That said the Down Pillow is my favorite. It's sort of my luxury item that I give up a little packed space/weight for.

I tried a sea to summit inflatable pillow this year. A couple days after using it I tossed it aside and went back to using my wadded up jacket and it was more comfortable.

I've used a sea to summit pillow for a few seasons now and have grown to love it. Price was steep at something like $45. But I personally get great neck support and a good night sleep from it. Packs up crazy small. Smaller than a fist. Check one out at REI before you buy.

This is the one I run, I love it! Been using it (on my 2nd one) for 5-6 years.

I have been using something like this for the past 5 years.
https://www.rei.com/product/111259/rei-co-op-flash-pillow-stuff-sack

Has a nice fuzzy lining inside and has a dual purpose.   Been very happy with it.

Get one on Amazon. Identical to the Sea To Summit at 1/3 of the price. Mine has held up great, weighs 3oz.

I have waterproof kit bags that I keep my jacket etc in, and it works fantastic for a pillow.

I just use the stuff sack from my sleeping bag and fill it with clothes until it lofts up just right.
