Backpacking Pillow

[BATTLEBORN]

I am looking for recommendations on a good comfortable lightweight backcountry pillow. I am a side sleeper so I need something relatively full. I have an air filled pillow but It slides off my pad all night. What is everyone using?

Using a mummy bag or rectangular bag

Fillow. I've tried several others. Fillow is the best so far.

The Down pillows have got to be more comfortable than air!!

 

[BATTLEBORN]

Poser, that option looks great. That way I can add my air pillow under the down.

 

[Corvus Corax]

What about a little Velcro with an adhesive back to keep the pillow on your pad. Some of the other suggested options look great.

 

[BATTLEBORN]

I thought about that or maybe some Silicone on the pillow and Pad.

Hyperlight Mountain Gear stuff sac pillow. Doubles as a dry sac during the day. Then I stuff a combo of down and synthetic clothes in it to just the right consistency. Alot warmer then the air pillows.

Ive tried the stuff sack route and didn't dig it.

Ill checkout that Luxe Pillow.

I went this route as well. The Goosefeet Gear pillow is great. I use the sleeve to hold an Exped pillow.

Thanks, I was thinking of using my current pillow to throw in the sleeve as well.

I have had a bunch, two have stayed on in the line up and depending of the location/weight constraints...i pick the one that is best. I can live with both and be very comfortable.

I have a thermarest foam pillow. Not compact by any means but damn if it aint comfortable. I've also taken a small kuiu boned out meat bag and put my puffy in it and it works very well. Its just as comfortable and saves weight and space.

Agree with this. I have tried all sorts of air pillows and my HMG large with my down jacket and down pants is perfect. I have struggled for 17 years to sleep in the backcountry and a pillow has always been one of the main reasons. Not anymore.

I use a thermarest pillow that is filled with a soft filling. I love it.

I used this pillow this weekend with the big agnes bag and the therm-a-rest sleeping pad. I slept so good it was crazy. The big agnes has a place where you can slip the pillow into so that it stays in place and you put your pad "into" the bag. It was great to have my pad, bag and pillow all stay in one place all night long!!!!!!

FYI - I did order about 3 pillows from Amazon and tried them all. It is really tough to pick a pillow without trying them first. I think all 3 pillows ran about $40 total. Go give them a try.

This is the one that I have as well. Slightly heavier than some but so much more comfortable to me, well worth the weight penalty to me.
