Read More The pillow compacts into its on compression bag that is small enough to drop in my sleeping bag kit. Easy to inflate and deflate, provided excellent comfort and offered just the right height for myself as a side sleeper. Same build and quality i've come to expect and enjoy from Sea to Summit. Will suggest that any side sleepers test one in store before purchasing as i found that i needed the larger pillow for more comfort. -

Read More I really liked this pillow. I liked how it inflated with just two breaths and was easy to deflate a little if necessary. It also deflates in about a second. I went to blow it up the first night in the mountains and it had a hole in the seam and was useless. Maybe I just got a bad one.. Returned it to REI and am hesitant to buy another one and give it another shot. -

Read More I use this backpacking and bought it to replace another inflatable pillow that was smaller and heavier. This is an exceptional upgrade. I sleep with 4 pillows at home so I got the large size because I just love pillow space. I sleep on my back, side and stomach rotating through the night. I love how this stays inflated as you're blowing it up and you can blow it up as firm or squishy as you like. Recently backpacked on the southern AT and found the sweet spot--slightly under inflated, with my down puffy coat on top of it makes it almost feel like my down pillows from home. The only complaint is that I tried to hand wash this and the internal chambers are criss-crossy so it took days to fully dry out and worried that it'd get mildewy. Next time, I will inflate it and try not to get water inside, just washing the outside with biodegradable, fragrance free soap and a wash cloth. -

Read More Bought this pillow (large size) for my recent camping trip. I am not exactly a true backpacker but like everything to be ultra light which make this a perfect.pillow for me. I had it tested at home on several occasion just to see what my comfort level is when it come to softness/firm. This is still an inflatable pillow so cannot be as comfortable as a goose down regular pillow. Great features for this pillow: ultra light, space saver (tiny once pack down...love it), contour shape which curve around the neck, and super quick & easy to inflate/deflate. Individual will have to play around with the amt of air being put in inorder to achieve your ultimate comfort for your neck. I find that it is hard on my neck when it is too firm so I only inflate it half way (work best for me). I do recommend to use a pillow case to put it in though so that it won't move around so much. -

Read More Seemed like a good pillow... very lightweight. We bought it for my son to take to Philmont. It was expensive. It lasted for... 1 night. No apparent hole, but it doesn't hold air. For two weeks he just had to fold it and scrunch it up to get any kind of support. Not worth the money! -

Read More I purchased this pillow for a two week backpacking trip to Philmont. This was my third trek in five years and I have taking a larger inflatable pillow to no pillow for the previous two treks. I saw this Ultralight pillow on REI and decided to give it a try. I was extremely happy with the size of the pillow! When inflated it provided very good support and the tacky side prevented it from sliding off of my sleeping bag. It deflated very easily and was extremely compact and fit into the storage bag easily. The only down side to this pillow is that it does get so small in the storage bag, it had a tendency to drop it among my gear and had to take a good look around in the tent to find it a few times. I would recommend this to anyone.

Read More I have tried many a backpacking pillow over the years, but have found most of them just not quite right. Having purchased one of Sea to Summit's ultralight pads last season, and finding it to fit my needs perfectly, I thought this might be the one. The pad packs down small, and is so light (2.5 oz), you won't even notice that you've put it in your pack. The Aero has the same dual-valve that the sleeping pad has, so inflating is a breeze (8-9 puffs for me). With the inner valve open it deflates quickly. One small quibble here... because the valve is in the center of the pillow (underneath), it is difficult to get all of the air out when rolling it up for the stuff sack. I sort of had to roll it from both sides, then unroll one side, and finish rolling it to stuff. It took a couple of tries the first time, but I think I got it figured out. The pillow is very comfortable and supportive under the head. And the double-valve permits one to fine tune the inflation. So if you like it really firm, you can do that; or if you like it a little squishier, you can let a little air out. My biggest complaint is, that the pillow wouldn't stay on top of the sleeping pad. That was a sleeping pad made by the same manufacturer! I found that by putting it inside my sleeping bag, the hood kept it in place, and it worked out great. But if there was some way to get it to stay put better, it would be perfect. I used this on a three-day backpacking trip in the Hetch Hetchy region of Yosemite, in early spring (wet and chilly) conditions, and it worked great. I slept well, and appreciated not having a sore neck when I got up in the morning. All in all, the closest to perfect I've found (so far)!
