Comments about REI Backpacker Pillow:
Great idea but this pillow just offers too little support used alone. Rather I sleep on my back or side, my head still bottoms out on the ground.
On the plus side, since it is so light (6oz) I use it in conjunction with my therm-a-rest synthetic pillow for winter backpacking. I do really like the way it fits perfectly in the hood of my sleeping bag and stays in place. This combination offers extra warmth in cold situations with the down and ultra comfort using the therm-a-rest underneath.
With a little effort, I have had no problems stuffing the pillow back into itself. The zipper will snag a bit if you don't take the few seconds to do it right.

Comments about REI Backpacker Pillow:
I used this pillow for a Backcountry trip into the Bob Marshall Wilderness. Although this pillow packs small and is very lightweight, the filling compresses to nothing once you put your head down. I had to put a folded up sweat shirt under it to get the proper thickness.

Comments about REI Backpacker Pillow:
This pillow is very light weight and packable. It however is not very big. I was unable to get comfortable with it. Laying on my back it was ok, but laying on my side (which I seem to prefer) it was unusable. It simply isn't large enough no matter how I folded it to support my head without killing my shoulder. It will however be a great backpacking pillow for my 5 year old son.

Comments about REI Backpacker Pillow:
Bought this to replace my current 'system' which was to simply use my extra clothing bag as a pillow. This item was really just too thin and small to be of use to me.

Too thin and small to really be effective. I'll go back to using a stuff sack filled with a down jacket, etc.

Comments about REI Backpacker Pillow:
Thought I would buy this since it's down and the same price as the synthetic filled thermarest pillow. Turns out there's not enough padding, my head bottoms out against the ground. Also material is easily snagged on the zipper. Ended up buying the thermarest. Maybe the other down pillows are better but those were out of my price range.

Comments about REI Backpacker Pillow:
This is the only pillow I would consider over my ditty bag. With the laundry bag and this, plush.
And it is the shape. it fits and is predictable. Plus, I have brutally machine washed and dried this with no apparent loss. I don't always bring it along, but short trip, hammock weather, pillow!

Comments about REI Backpacker Pillow:
I will be returning this. I find myself early in the AM hours grabbing this from my under my head and throwing it to the other end of my tent and sleeping on a jacket, backpack, clothing etc. I have never had a good night sleep with this thing. I usually sleep with on my side with my arm under the pillow and this is just too small to do that. It is also a task to fold back in and zip up.
If you sleep on your back then this might work for you.

Comments about REI Backpacker Pillow:
The best thing about this pillow is the shape. I've tried a few other things, but this actually fits inside the hood of a mummy bag, which brings the comfort level up significantly. Although the pillow is small, it's thick enough to be quite comfortable even on rocky ground with a leaky air mattress. I was so happy with this purchase that my husband got one as well.
One downside: the fabric is NOT down-proof, and the pillow looses feathers a lot. It hasn't affected the comfort after several uses, and is a pretty minor annoyance.
