Inflatable Pillow

[Huntingfarandwide]

I just ordered (what I hope) is a better pillow then I already have for less than $15.

Non-Slip Ultralight Stretch Pillow

The ultralight backpacking pillow will help you get the best night of sleep in the backcountry possible. Curved contours, soft fabrics, & an ultralight 2.6 oz weight keep you comfortable. Silicon non-slip dots and pad strap loops allow you to keep you pillow exactly where you want it.

My brother has been using this pillow for a few years now and hasn't had any desire to change it up. I think we hunted around 30 nights last year. Hope it suits you

Thx, had some store credit

I have switched back and forth between that and the fillo. I like the "stretch" feeling of the OV pillow. Either way, I end up wrapping a puffy around them to make the a touch taller as I am a side sleeper.

If you check the ad they make two models. One is specific to side sleepers.

Cool deal! I have had mine about 5 to 7 years now... did not know they had a side sleeper option.

Thanks for the post - I ordered a couple to try. GovX got an additional discount on top!

I've been seeing the ad on FB as well. Good to know people have actually used them. Never know if those ads are trustworthy. I'll have to get the side sleeper and try it out.

Big Sky International also has some popular inflatable pillows that are on sale.

This was an even better price than "member pricing". I order 2 of the side sleeper options! I did not know ow about the govx coupon code.

Ive been using this exact pillow the last couple seasons and love it. I dont see any reason to change.

How do you like the side sleeper option?

I just got the pillow the other day! Looks like it will be a sweet little pillow!

Ordered a side sleeper model for under $5, why not.

I got one of each. The side sleep one isn't that different. Maybe a half inch thicker? I'll likely use the thicker one but they're almost the same product. If you hold them up side-by-side you notice the slight thickness difference.

I've used other inflatable pillows and have never loved them. They all feel like I'm sleeping on a balloon. But for the price I'll give it another try. They seem quality.

I prefer the side sleeper over the standard hands down. With that said... I might have a gen 1 standard and a gen 2 side sleeper. I cannot attest to the current "standard model".

For me, the standard is much too thin and tends to slide out from under my head. Solution: wrap my puffy vest around it like tp with the tail of the vest on the bottom of the pillow and leaving a small tail. I can them pin the tail between my shoulder and the air mattress to hold it in place.

The side sleeper... according to me... is greatly improved but not perfect. The scalp feels more pronounced (good) but could be more so just a touch. There are little tabs with grommet holes on each side to run 1/8 or 1/16" shock cord. I cannot recall. I have done this and it holds the pillow securely in place. I have the shock cord relaxed but almost no slack in it. I run a 25" wide pad. This causes it to squeeze the pad and the pillow does not get away. Although the extra height is an improvement, I would love to see another 1/4" to 1/2" of height... but I do have wide shoulders. That is probably just me. I fixed this by tossing a beanie or piece of clothing between the pillow and pad and the shock cord hold everything in place.

Between the 2, unless you are a smaller framed back sleeper, I would say 95% chance you should get the side sleeper version!

Probably more of a write up than needed for a pillow but I hope it helps.

That was perfect. I appreciate the feedback!
