Right guys, I just spent the night in a tent and had this pillow from the 99p store. It was inflatable and cheap. I didn't get on with it and gave up after half an hour. So can anybody recommend a pillow that packs down very small and is very comfortable. I would also like to be able to use it in a hammock when i get one.

Thanks for your help in Advance!

A fleece, jumper or jacket in a stuff sack works for me. No weight, no bulk, no money.

I don't bother with one in the hammock as the curve of the lay lifts my head anyway. Whenever I've used one, it's escaped in the night mid 'Hammock induced coma' and I've only noticed it missing in the morning.

£30 for a pillow. Thats a lot but maybe its worth it.

I use a little bag made from cotton.

Or you could cut down a familiar pillowcase...Nothing is as bad as something odd against your face at night.

+1 for this after having tried several other styles and makes including clothes stuffed in a bag. Cheap price for a good nights sleep.

I recently bought a Karrimor Camping pillow from sportsdirect and was pleasantly surprised - it's not that big but fits neatly inside the hood of a mummy style sleeping bag. I can honestly say that it's streets ahead of any jumper / fleece combination I've tried in the past. Bargain as well at £3 !!
