Recommend a camping pillow

[Ch@rlie]

I use a piece of memory foam inside a stuff sack compresses real well and is real comfy. also in the past i've used (new unused) Large car wash sponges or clothes in a stuff sack

Inflating pillows, drybags and stuff sacs don't do it for me. I have a stuffsac full of clothes as a base and then a Vango fleecy pillow on top. Heaven.

I bought one of these;

(it's a similar construction to a self inflating mat) and I made up a fleece pillow case for it. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

i just fold up my special 6 shirt, or hoody, whatever i have that is soft .

most of the "camping pillows" are jokes, i tend to fold up all my clothes and stuff them in a cotton bag, works the same

I use the Snugpak Snuggy if I'm canoe camping, if I'm up in the hills then I use a stuff sack or drybag and put my spare clothes in. I find slipping a drybag into a fleece sleeve makes it more comfortable.

I'd go with that.

DON'T get the Therm-a-Rest compressible pillow. It seems to take about 24 hours to fluff up after you unpack it.

I use a synthetic fill travel pillow, I've had it for years. Doesn't pack down so well, but it gets stuffed down to fill any gaps in my rucksack. It ain't even that good for sleeping on the ground, but it's just right for the hammock. Plus it has a cinch cord which I've attached a length of adjustable shock cord with a clip so I can attach it to my hammocks ridgeline to stop it sliding down my back or falling out the hammock.

What puts me off a lot of these camping pillows is the material, I need cotton or something else natural to sleep well

A fleece, spare clothes or a down gilet in a stuff sack.

Yup, me too.

 

[backwoodsman]

yes a down jacket in stuff sac

 

[Thoth]

Thermarest pillow case with my snugpack sleeka inside is good, before I had the pillow case I used my shemagh.

Those of you that are recomending wine bags clearly don't gralloch the bag to get the very last drop out of it then lick the inside....I don't know... some people! Glyn.

Here's a thread Toddy started a few moons ago.

Since then I have started to use a mesh stuff sack filled with spare cloths.
None of the icky, sweaty feeling of sleeping on a close woven nylon type fabric stuff sack.
If the mesh bag is not used to store kit it can be folded up with no weight or space penalty.
These are the sort of things I talking about,http://www.lifeventure.co.uk/htm/packables/mesh-stuff-sacks.html.
Happy trails...torc.

 

[Large Sack]

I tend to use a Snugpak Snuggy, it fits nicely into the hood of my bag and is very absorbent...useful for catching my dribble

sack

Take a box of wine. Drink the wine. Take the bag out. Use it as a pillow.
You've now got an adjustable inflatable pillow and a couple of litres of wine in you, you're certain to sleep well.
