Comments about REI Medium Pillow Stuff Sack - 8 x 18:
I try not to carry stuff I don't need or use, but this is one item that I will be carrying with me. Its a great sack to stuff clothes and food into, and whatever other misc equipment you don't want to loose. Then at night, turn it inside out and put a few clothes back in and bam! You have a nice compact comfy pillow! Its a great upgrade from using my fleece as a pillow, which tends to move around and that's not very comfortable.
The fleece liner is soft. The nylon outside does not make much noise when its moved around, unlike the Thermarest version. Simple draw cord cinches down.

Comments about REI Medium Pillow Stuff Sack - 8 x 18:
I pack my sleeping bag in this stuffsack, so it's not wasting space or weight; you'll only need it when your sleeping bag is unpacked, right? It's not as light as a normal stuff sack, but the weight difference is not big, and it's totally worth a good night's sleep.
I've tried other "travel pillows", but they just don't cut it. They're designed to squish down to nothing to fit in a backpack; but they also squish down to nothing under your head. This sack just adds the weight of the fleece lining for a firm, useful, and comfortable pillow. I'm a side-sleeper, so it's important for me to have a real pillow that can keep my head up.
I usually put my clothes for the next day inside it, so that they're warm in the morning. Then I top it off with my polar fleece jacket as I go to bed, so that the soft fleece pads the top of the pillow. Almost as good as the real thing! Unless it's really cold, I also usually tuck it into the hood of my mummy bag, to keep it in place.
If I didn't already have this, I might consider the therma-rest version; it's lighter, but pricier.
