Exped  Mega Pillow

This pillow packs small, it’s soft, it has loops on it to clip to your sleeping bag, and it’s a generous size. I wish I loved it, but it is SO NOISY!! It sounds like I’m sleeping on a crinkly plastic bag. I absolutely love my exped mega mat duo, so I expected a good product from these guys. I wish the pillow was the same amazing foam that’s in their sleeping pad. Why isn’t it? Instead it’s a crinkly plastic air bag inside a soft fleecy material. It’s decent, but I definitely don’t recommend it, and I seriously question the reviews that say it’s quiet. Honestly??

This is the best backpacking pillow ever created! It is big and very comfortable. Air core is horizontal I beam style and the fleece is soft. It provides a little cushion even if you fully inflate the pillow. It is a quiet pillow with almost no crinkle. I was between this and the Nemo fillo elite and I am glad I went with this. It is 1 inch thicker and the fleece is much better than the jersey material of the fillo. It packs down the size of a softball and is worth the 6.5 ounces.

I love it so much that I take 2 of them backpacking. They are lightweight and pack really small. They are easy to fill with air and easy to collapse back into the bag. They are really comfortable to sleep on. I found that I only fill them up about 60-80% with air and they are more comfortable. It's definitely worth spending a little bit more money on.

Love this pillow! Super lightweight and clamps on to my bag. Bought originally for being comfortable for a full day of climbing in Joshua Tree, but used it for a week prior in my own bed.

Upgraded to the mega pillow and happy I did! Actually saved weight on my previous and the comfort level went through the roof! Have 3 nights on it so far and very very happy

Really like this pillow for good size and support. I used backpack pillow cases before stuffed with jackets/clothes but I found them too lumpy and too small such that your head inevitably ends up off to one side. Pack size is small, but may be too big for backpacking. Depends on your gear priorities I guess. The cover is washable but be careful of the bladder inside - it seems very fragile. The instruction manual says you can patch it, but unclear how well that would work. Would give it 5 stars but for the price.

I slept like a baby whilst my buddy suffered every night! haha! This pillow is totally worth the money and I say it's even better than my at home pillow! Buy it now. It rolls up into the size of my fist! Easy to inflate and deflate. Adjusts to everyone's comfort level.

Beats the compressing pillows I had previously (REI and LL Bean). This pillow saves room in the pack, ends up being lighter, and more comfortable than the others. Very pleased.

After reading the reviews, I shelled out the bucks for two of these and I am happy to report, they are worth it. We took them along a 21-day rafting trip--they added to our comfort every night. We especially liked that they are very easy to blow up, easy to adjust, and easy to deflate. Because of the ever present dirt and sand on our trip, we used them with microfiber pillow cases.

Really, the only downside on this pillow is the slight crinkly sound, however it's not really bothersome. It provides good support with a good comfy feel. If not inflated absolutely fully, will not leave you with a crushed ear either. For packing light, it's great. For car camping, makes you try to decide whether worth bring a real pillow, which should say a lot.
