Feb 25, 2016Lightweight and comfortableExped continues to be my favorite company for sleeping pads and now for this. I leave it just a little under inflated and its unbeatable for how light and small it is.

Read More This is a great space and weight saving option for backpackers trying to limit their load's size and weight. It inflates and deflates quickly and easily, while packing away tightly in the included stuff sack. The pillow does provide some head support for a more comfortable night's sleep but it won't ever be anywhere near as comfortable as a real pillow. I struggled to find that sweet spot on the three separate trips I've taken with this inflatable pillow, but it's better than a balled up jacket. -

Read More I have two Expeds; the smaller for backpacking and the larger for car camping. The backpacking size has over 100 nights of use, and is still airtight. Highly recommended. HINT: If you have not used an inflatable pillow before, try inflating it less than full; it holds the head better that way. -

Read More I needed to find a comfortable camp pillow that wasn't too bulky, but had the adequate support I am used to with a memory foam pillow. This turned out to be perfect. I bought a large. Deflated and packed away it is about as big around as a rolled up t-shirt. I thought it had very good support and comfort. While other brands offered a softer fabric top, sliding this inside a t shirt would work just as easily. However, I didn't find the need to do that. Great product.

Read More As the saying goes "You get what you pay for." I've been studying all the reviews on-line including Hammock Forum and other backpacking web pages regarding the best pillow for camping. Lots of opinions as you would expect. But one thing was consistent - - the Exped Air Pillow is highly regarded. So today I picked one up at REI and I am thrilled with the purchase. Here's why: 1. Exped is a top notch company and it shows. This is a beautiful product that is very well made. 2. This is Size Large. You won't how light this pillow is and how small you can pack it up. It's unbelievable! 3. Fabric on the pillow: To be honest, I was a bit concerned about the fabric on the pillow and whether it would make me sweat a lot or feel clammy. Not at all. It is very comfortable to the skin. I'll probably put a T-shirt around the pillow when I'm camping just to keep it clean. Bottom line is that I'm amazed how comfortable (and good looking) the fabric is. 4. Ergonomic Shape: Recommend you check out the Exped Pillow video on the REI web page. The pillow has a unique shape that just cradles your head whether you are a side sleeper, back sleeper, or belly sleeper. All you do is rotate the pillow depending on your sleeping position. And I found (just as the Exped video explains) that letting a little air out makes it even more comfortable. 5. Retention Tabs on the pillow can be used to keep the pillow in place. I'm going to use this in my Dream Hammock and will tie a retention cord to the pillow so it doesn't slip away. 6. But the real test of its comfort was when I tested it out (at home) this afternoon. This thing is so comfortable that, even though I wasn't tired, I fell asleep and didn't wake up for about an hour. I'm going to test this out on a tent camping trip later this month and I'm sure my wife is going to try to steal this pillow from me. Guessing there will be another Exped Air Pillow in our future. :)
