Comments about Exped Air Pillow:

The Exped Air Pillow is like a real pillow in the backcountry, except it packs down very small and weighs very little. I've used mine on numerous trips backpacking trips over the past year (most recently to Olympic National Park in February), and its' held up well.

The asymmetrical shape works well to keep it in place on your sleeping pad, and sometimes I use it oriented one way, sometimes the other--kind of like being able to shift or fluff your pillow in your own bed. This pillow is more comfortable than many hotel pillows, and I've thought about bringing it with me on non-bp travels in case a hotel's pillow should prove lacking.

I've tried placing the pillow inside my sleeping bag, but I've found it works much better for me outside the bag. This allows me to get the full benefits of the mummy features of the sleeping bag, and it allows me to roll over, etc., and still have the pillow there.

The pillow comes with a repair kit, but I've never had to use it. The inflate and deflate valves are separate, and there's a tab on the inflate valve so you can easily blow it up in the dark. It's easy to adjust the air pressure in the pillow to your preference. If I lost mine, I would buy another the next day.

Comments about Exped Air Pillow:

I have no complaints with this pillow. It has served me on a dozen backpacking trips so far with no issues. LARGE fill/deflate valves make this thing a pleasure to use. Packs sooo small, i usually just roll it up inside my big agnes and takes up no additional space in my pack. No more rolling up clothes for a pillow.

Comments about Exped Air Pillow:

The pros: You won't find a smaller,lighter, more comfortable pillow. There's no excuse for using your clothing as a pillow when you have this thing. It goes everywhere. It has multiple sides of differing widths so you can find the most comfortable position for your sleeping style. The cons: My first trip out with this, I was in a grass pasture with the pillow inside my tent. I had to inflate the thing 3-4 times during the night and it kept losing air. I returned it to the manufacturer because I figured one of the valves was defective. Well they shipped it back to me after patching it. (I highly doubt I punctured it since I was no where near sharp objects). So now, I basically spent [$], plus shipping to them for repair, only to have a patched pillow. Today was the last straw. I went to inflate it, and the one way valve fell to inflate it off inside the pillow. Now there's no way to inflate the pillow fully and close the valve without air leaking out and having a 75% inflated pillow. I guess I could return it to the manufacturer, but after last times unsatisfactory service, i think I'd rather save the shipping cost to buy a different pillow.

For it's pack size, weight, and adjustable comfort when inflated - it simply cannot be beat. The valve system rocks too by the way. Buy it and become a believer.

Comments about Exped Air Pillow:

As a scouter I have done A LOT of camping over the years. Always rolled up rain gear into a fleece and made the best of it. I finally broke down and got a pillow. After a bit of research this one looked ok. First trip with it was a Live Aboard trip on the air craft carrier Lexington in Corpus Christi. I wish I had purchased it along time ago. Very, very comfy. Packs down to nothing, mine is stuffed into sack with air mattress.

Fits into head space of mummy sleeping bag. Wrap it up into tshirt if cold to keep the chill off my ears and neck.

If you are at the point of reading reviews of camp pillows, this is the one you need.

Comments about Exped Air Pillow:

I used this pillow on my bicycle trip across the USA twice, from west to east, and north to south. Its very compact, very lightweight, and very comfortable!
What more needs to be said? but anyway ;-)
There is more to the design of it than meets the eye. A typical inflatable pillow is too hard, yet this one isn't. The material it is made of is somewhat stretchy, giving the pillow enough give to be comfortable. I've tried the down pillows and others, and they don't deliver the comfort that this one does. Until I found this one, I was always interested in finding a better pillow. Now, search ended. I suppose my memory foam pillow at home is better, but when space and weight count, this is the one!
