The REI Member Dividend
The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.
Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.
Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Comments about REI Base Camp Pillow:
So I was in REI and saw this big box of pillows. They were just the right size and loft and I wanted to buy one, but low and behold, they weren't for sale--the staff used them to stuff into backpacks to demonstrate how much a pack could carry! Bummer. But then I saw this little blue pillow. It's a smaller than what I hoped to get, but for its size, it provides a lot of support and it's comfy. It's become my go-to camp pillow.

Comments about REI Base Camp Pillow:
I got this a few years ago and loved it when I first got it. It parked up to a reasonable size and was not overly heavy for its usefulness. Now though it has been rolled and packed up too much so all the fill is compressed and it is too thin. It no longer has a good comfort to space ratio so it is really just taking up space in my pack. Yu may get a period of usefulness out of this but it isn't going to last too long. I am looking for other options now.

Comments about REI Base Camp Pillow:
I use this pillow all the time from car camping to road trips to airplane travel. I usually attach it to the outside of a bag but it also fits in the top after packing a standard size gym duffel. It can be a little thin for sleeping in a tent on the ground but for car camping I usually throw a sweatshirt under it or add a second equally squishy pillow.

Comments about REI Base Camp Pillow:
This pillow is very comfortable. It doesn't pack very small but personally it is worth it for the comfort that it provides. Highly recommend. Also, the price for this thing is just unbeatable.

Comments about REI Base Camp Pillow:
I hate down. I can't stress that enough. Oh, the guilt every time a little feather flits past! So when I was at the store, spying pillows, and had a down one in my hand and saw a feather pop out of a seam I flagged down the nearest clerk and said "Pillow Minus Down, Please!" He showed me this blue beaut.
I'm a minimalist (bicycle and motorcycle camper) and I travel light. I was sick of sleeping on my stuff sack of clothes and waking up with a sore neck. Since getting this (and one for my boyfriend) I have never slept better. Soft, cushy, comfy, aaaaaahhhh....
Last weekend we were out in a canoe when it rained on our open tent. I mean downpour. We came back to a puddle in the middle of the sleeping bags. These babies dried in front of the fire in a matter of about 30 minutes (about 6 feet away, with occasional turning). I was so glad to have dry sleeping gear for the night.
Easy to pack, lightweight, so nice to sleep on, Yes. Do it. You know you want to.

Comments about REI Base Camp Pillow:
As you can tell by my title for this... maybe it is time I invest in a new pillow for home. Honestly this little thing is a charm. I sleep on my side and it is perfect. It is soft and lofty but is firm and thick enough to cradle your head so your not hurting your neck. Granted I am 5 foot 1 and very petite frame so it is not like I have huge shoulders. And yes it IS a little bulky but honestly you can roll it up pretty small, and it is as light as a feather (so just strap it to the outside of your pack!). It beats having to carry around a large normal pillow for car camping as well as sleeping on a pile of clothes for minimalist style. It is the most comfortable camp pillow I have come across. I admit it, I sleep with it as my normal pillow now!!!

Comments about REI Base Camp Pillow:
I traveled around the world on a 3 month trip with this baby along, and it made me feel like I was at home. Most "compact" pillows are not thick enough to actually support your head and you get a bad nights sleep. This one is where its at. I used it for that trip, and another 3 years. Then I decided it was time to splurge for a new one. Best deal at REI.

Comments about REI Base Camp Pillow:
I was looking for a pillow that was compact, comfy & ECONOMICAL, & Therm-A-Rest just wasn't cuttin' it. REI's blue baby was the right mix of softness, size & price, & now I sleep like a baby in the most awkward situations. (Sorry, officer!) Rolls up nice and compact with elasitc bands, & unfurls quickly & easily before hitting the hay, or knocking out in the car, on the train or bus, or at the station, or at your bud's, or during the lecture, or ...
