Pillow Recomedations

[Outdoordude]

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.

i use one of the exped comfort pillows and find it very comfortable, though ive never got on with inflatable pillows before .

I use a travel neck pillow and find it very effective, but pack size isn't that small.

I use the same to. I even use the stuff sac I carry my hammock in thus saving even more weight.

Thanks for all your help guys. I will be looking at all the products and trying the stuff sack idea.

£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.

and if you find a stuff sack too rustly you can just pack a pillow case and stuff it with your coat / spare clothes

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 !!

I'm for proper pillows aswell. Tried the clothes stuff in a bag and have never had a good nights sleep.
