Great little travel/backpacking pillow
This pillow packs up fairly small, and to me it is the perfect travel companion. I use this backpacking and when I fly. You can roll it up pretty tight and it's not too bulky. It also fluffs up well, and has just the right amount of fill to make it a comfortable sleeping in the tent or leaning against a window on a plane.

perfect
great sized pillow for all sorts of events. Camping, car rides, couch potato times, elevating broken arm (yes, speaking from experience). Folds nicely, lightweight and packable all make this a great product.

Great for travel
I use this pillow for traveling and plan to use it for camping too. Compresses nicely into my carry-on and is super light. It is a little lumpy, but that's the nature of the beast I guess; if it was solid, it would weigh more and not compress as nice. I would totally recommend this to a friend; I bought my wife one too!

Lumpy
Good size pillow -- compresses nicely and fits well in the sleeping bag sleeve -- but the filling is very lumpy, even after repeated thumping and days left outside the stuff sack. Returned.

favorite pillow
This pillow is great for travel/camping but I also use it at home. It is a perfect little pillow to use on top of the big one, or in between two. Great for cuddling, too.

Great couch pillow
I received this pillow for Christmas and used it many days on the sofa due to my broken leg. It has great support and feel, much better than any feather pillow. It has much greater support compared to my friends' compression pillows. When I recover from my broken leg and go hiking he will be jealous of my pillow.

Nice comfy pillow
I bought one of these in large to keep with my camping gear so that I that I don't forget to pack one. I mostly car camp. So the large is nice and comfy. I compresses fairly small, then fluffs up nice soft.

Amazing comfort
Comfortable. Comfortable. Comfortable.
Wash the pillow before you use it the first time and put it through the dryer to ensure that the loft will be maximal right from the start. Packs down to a small, relatively light bundle that is worth carrying in your pack for the comfort. I won't be camping without a pillow anymore.

Perfect Travel Pillow
This is the perfect pillow for traveling. It fluffs up more than I expected it would and it compresses down to one fifth it's size for space-saving storage. I chose the small version, which will be a wonderful size for a nap on a plane or an extra pillow for camping.

Functional and Comfy Pillow
I love the soft fabric on the outside of the pillow. Also I like that the pillow compresses down to a smaller size, making it easier to pack. I bought the medium size and it's perfect for camping.

Amazing pillow
i was shocked when if this thing how small it was - I didn't expect it to completely fill out the way it did. Once it's expanded, it doesn't just flatten out on you with use. Very comfortable; use it for traveling in planes and cars in addition to backpacking. I gut it jsut to get some kind of pillow, but didn't expect it to be as great as it is. High marks to Thermarest!

Very Comfortable!
I was impressed how small it was and how firm and large it grew over time. The material is very comfortable and great for traveling!--I bought one for my husband, highly recommend!

Thermarest pillow
This compressible pillow was a surprise gift from my husband. I had been stuffing clothes in a stuff sack and using it as a pillow for years, so this was quite the upgrade. The pillow compresses down using a draw string and is easily packed in a backpack or thrown in the back of the car for a road trip. After the foam expands it gives just the right amount of head support for my sleeping needs. It comes in fun patterns and is very soft to sleep on. I think it's a good buy.

Great trail pillow!
I used this pillow for a 5 day backpacking trip. It was compact, light, and very comfortable to sleep on. Provided good head support. If you are concerned about weight but need a pillow for a good rest - this is the best I've found.

Great!!!!
Initially when I received the pillow I was surprised at how small it was. I did not think it would fill out as much as I wanted but sure enough the longer I left it out the more it filled in. It turned out to be a really comfortable pillow that does not loose it's firmness throughout the night and is extremely light weight. My husband is jealous of my new purchase and now wants one as well:)

most comfy travel pillow
Love this pillow--rolls up real compact to about 1/4 of the size, and billows out into a comfy, full-sized, firm pillow. Essential for travel and better than inflatable pillows!

Awesome pillow!
OK, I have been searching for a while for light, compact, but firm pillow for backpacking and finally found what I was looking for! This Thermarest rocks! It compresses fairly tightly and is quite light and once you open it and fluff it up a bit, it actually stays that way all night! It doesn't smash down like alot of other pillows. I got the medium size and it fit into the hooded part of my sleeping bag. Another cool thing about it is that it doesn't slip all over the place due to the way the material is constructed. Overall, this was a great value and has tremendously improved the quality of my sleep on the trail! You owe yourself this one!

almost as good as home!
This pillow is great, way better than I thought it whould be. As you get older these are the things that realy make a difference.

Best thing since sliced bread!
I was the star of the ball. Everyone wanted to feel the pillow and then wanted to know where I got it. Lots of interest in purchasing one. I just got it for my last trip. Now am using it for my "home" pillow, will buy another very soon!

The best pillow
I had been using the slumberjack camping pillow, and compared to this, it's a piece of garbage. This pillow actually supports my head and lets me sleep MUCH easier.

Great little pillow
It was a little flat and lumpy, but if you are one of those people who can't sleep without a pillow, this one will give you about an inch and a half of loft.

As comfortable as my pillow at home
This is one of the best purchases I have made since getting into backpacking. This is the only "luxury" item I bring along, and at 7 ounces for a small it is worth every gram! This pillow deserves 6 stars out of 5. The small is more than big enough for me, and provides enough room to move around. The loft should be high enough for most side sleepers, but if it is not you could fold it over. Since receiving this pillow, I have slept on it every night at home, as well as nights outside. It is every bit as comfortable as my normal pillow that I use at home, and actually lofts up higher than my "home pillow"! It was (as you would expect) very flat when I first uncompressed it, but after kneading it a bit and letting it sit out for 30 minutes it fluffed right up. I couldn't be more pleased with this pillow. At 7oz it is pretty heavy considering the other options available (stuff sack with jacket inside, inflatable pillow), but the extra comfort is well worth the weight. This is my first time reviewing a product here. I was just so impressed by how comfortable this pillow is that I wanted to come and say so. You won't be disappointed if you buy this pillow.

A must for side sleepers!
Make sure to wash it according to the instructions before first use. Dry with LOW LOW heat (Took my dryer about 3 hours). Packs down about 25-33% of its full size when compressed.

Makes all the difference
I have never been able to sleep very well camping and this pillow has made all the difference. It is comfortable, compresses well and uncompresses well especially if you wash and dry it once before use. Get this pillow

Love it!
I ordered my pillow just in time for a trip to Ramsey's Draft Wilderness in the GW National Forest in Virginia the weekend after Thanksgiving. The pillow was great and made the 25 degree F temperature the first night more tolerable. In the past, I would sleep with my pack under my head, but the Thermarest pillow is a much more comfortable alternative. It is lightweight and compresses down to about the size of a foot long Subway sandwich. I have read some reviews that complain of the pillow not "uncompressing" well. I did find this to be a problem. Just remember to fluff the pillow according to the included directions. I highly recommend this pillow to add comfort to your back country experience.

don't like filling
The size of this pillow is great - the largest of the small pillows I've found. The filling leaves much to be desired. The filling feels like styrofoam popcorns used for packing. not comfortable b/c they don't [cre-ate]a uniform cushion.

Personal Pad
Its exactly what you expect. A personal pillow with a firm touch. Great for those long travels in the air or on the road.

Great Compressible pillow
If you like a full sized pillow when sleeping under the stars, this pillow is it. Just give it time to un-compress.

I should have bought 3
For some reason, I use lots of pillows when I sleep - usually three. Sleeping in a bag has taken some getting used to, but it isn't bad now. I will probably order a couple more of these to satisfy my personal requirements. I recommend them. My only preference would be to make them more compressable so they'd take up less room in my pack - room I want for food!

Firm & comfortable
Nicely sized pillow that provides firm & comfortable support. Great for camping & travel.

Nice pillow
This is a pretty nice pillow, much nicer than a stuffed drybag. I have the small and it fits into my Big Agnes sleeping bag pillow compartment deal nicely. Packs a little bigger than air pillows but also feels nicer under the head at night.

Great product
Very convenient compact size for travel, machine washable, very soft.
June 18, 2009
Pretty Good
The pillow does everything it says it does. It feels like a normal pillow, and compresses to a managable size. It provides a nice compromise between a big comfortable pillow and your jacket all balled up. It's not "ultralight" but not a pillow from home.

practical, convenient, and dreamy
great travel pillow for bus/train/plane/car...anywhere and any way you travel! compact, light, easy to stash in a pack/carry-on.

Great little travel pillow
Does every thing you would expect for a travel pillow. Light weight, compact, quick drying and comfortable. Would recomend to a friend

Compact comfort.
This pillow is great to throw in the car when going on trips or camping. It's compact and doesn't consume much room. I throw it in the wash when needed and keep it in the car.
