Comments about Therm-a-Rest Compressible Pillow - Medium:
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.

Comments about Therm-a-Rest Compressible Pillow - Medium:
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.

Comments about Therm-a-Rest Compressible Pillow - Medium:
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.

Comments about Therm-a-Rest Compressible Pillow - Medium:
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.

Comments about Therm-a-Rest Compressible Pillow - Medium:
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!

Comments about Therm-a-Rest Compressible Pillow - Medium:
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!

Comments about Therm-a-Rest Compressible Pillow - Medium:
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.

Comments about Therm-a-Rest Compressible Pillow - Medium:
I decided to try this after having several uncomfortable nights sleeping on fleece jacket and socks in a stuff sack. My only two comfort items I take with me are this and my Therma-Rest seat pad. The pillow and seat pad team up for a comfy combination at night. Some have complained about the pillow compressing through the night, but since I've combined this with my seat pad I can't speak to that issue. If you're like me and can't sleep well without a pillow this might do the trick, it did for me.
