Pros Very comfortable, great support, easy to adjust thickness, washable exteriorGreat value, very comfortable, easy to useVery comfy, easy to adjust air volume, ergonomically shaped for back and side sleepersComfortable, inexpensive, maintains its support during sleep, quiet, designed for mummy bags, relatively lightweightVery small packed size, lightweight, great support
Cons Heavy and bulky, not for extended backcountry tripsHeavy, large packed sizeMore expensive, down is allergenic to some users, a little heavier than its inflatable peersAbsorbs water and moisture quickly, loft is a little thin, takes up space in a backpackNot super comfortable
Bottom Line This pillow will please the vast majority of campers due to its superb comfort, adjustable support, and washable external layerFor those who don't travel far from their vehicles to the campsite, this model is inexpensive and comfyA comfortable blend of down softness and air cushion for a little luxury at a low weightThough not as small as an inflatable option, this pillow is the lightest compressible pillow we've foundThis model increases nighttime head support and decent comfort at minimal weight and volume
