Great Camping Pillow!
Most comfortable camping pillow I’ve used. I opted for the medium/large version so it isn’t as packable as the small version obviously. But it’s perfect for me because I’d rather be the most comfortable I can be because I’m bougie. lol If you give it a wash first it actually fluffs it up more than it is straight out of the box, so keep that in mind if you don’t think it’s fluffy enough. Also love the desert design I chose, fits me perfectly.

Keep your old one
I replaced my very well used Thermarest pillow with this new one and wow they dropped the ball with it. Not only does it no longer easily roll up but they put a literal toggle loop right in the center of it where your face rests. And if you are hoping to try the opposite side instead you are rewarded with the plastic toggle on the center of the backside as well.

worth the extra weight and space

I’ve tried backpacking with stuff sack and inflatable pillows but found that I’d always wake up with a sore neck. This pillow takes up more space in your pack than I’d like but for me it was 100% worth it. It sleeps like a regular pillow at home but is transportable. I have a medium size—it is big enough for my head without feeling like I had to keep it in one spot and fits nicely in the top of my Nemo disco. I didn’t find the toggle to be an issue if I turned the pillow so it’s at the top instead of down by my face.

Perfect camping/backpacking pillow!

Love this pillow! It is just like a normal pillow from home. I like that you can adjust the "fill" with the drawstring on the back - this is perfect for both car camping and backpacking. I know it is heavier than Nemo's fillo, but it is comfortable enough to justify bringing it on a trip. I will be taking this to the desert southwest for some camping and I am really happy to know I will be sleeping well! Also, the dark green pattern is super cute! I loved it so much that I got my husband one as well.

Quality Has Significantly Declined

The quality of this pillow has significantly declined. The internal foam is about half of what it is in the same pillow purchased about 30 years ago. It is far too soft to be usable.

I love this pillow

This pillow is heavier than all of the blow up pillows, but I love it!. You should invest in sleep. I wish I bought one ages ago, never thought I'd so be using this pillow in my daily life too and not just in the trail. Works great in your carry on bag as well. It has a price tag, but buy once cry once.

Perfect Camping Pillow with Style and Comfort

I’ve been looking for a pillow specifically for camping with my mummy sleeping bag, and this compressible pillow is perfect! I love everything mid-mod, and the colors are fantastic. The cactus print with suns and sunrays really makes it fun and unique. I have the smallest size, and it’s exactly right for me. The material feels high-quality and comfortable. It’s stylish, practical, and everything I wanted in a camping pillow!

terrible redesign - Half the foam - not usable

I purchased a pillow in 2019 that was perfect. Loaded with foam, it has lasted me 6 years and is still going. I decided to buy another one in the Labor Day 2025 sale. Was I disappointed! There is literally half the foam as in the old pillow, and when you put your head on the pillow your head sinks to the ground as there isn’t enough foam to even support your head! If you cinch it up real tight to compress the foam you may be ok, but I don’t like the feel of the cinching. I wanted a nice big pillow to lay my big head on. This 2025 version is going back to REI.

Sweet

Sweet little pillow! Really cozy and easy to squish down for packi g. Material is super soft and washes well. You can tell the foam is in pieces but doesn't bother me much at all

Love it!

We've had the regular sized pillows for about 8 years and we've been pleased with them; however, I decided that I wanted to splurge and get a bigger one. I am so glad that I did. This thing is luxurious! And it gets puffier each consecutive night you use it on a camp out. I have struggled to figure out how to compress it for storage since it is different than the regular sized ones and I do it differently each time. Lol. Overall, I am so pleased with this purchase. It sure beats inflatable pillows that eventually fail.
