Description

Catch a few Zs anywhere.

Don't let location limit your beauty sleep. The Exped Air Pillow inflates with just one or two breaths and offers the comfort of home, thanks to a design that's higher on one side than the other and contoured to accommodate both side and back sleepers' head positions.
  • Soft tricot polyester fabric is comfortable next to the skin
  • Two FlatValves, one for inflation and another for deflation, are low profile and highly durable
  • Two loops allow pillows to be attached to Exped mats with corresponding loops so you don't wake up with a stiff neck and your pillow halfway across the tent

Kaj describes the use of the super small and lightweight Exped Air Pillow.

I've used inflatable pillows in the backcountry for years. I started with the uber-light (0.60 oz) Flexair inflatable pillow. The Flexair, popular with ultralight backpackers, is a disposable hospital-type pillow that inflates with an included straw. I had trouble with mine in the field and decided it was time to upgrade. The medium version of the Air Pillow is 15"L x 10.6"W x 4.3"H and weighs 2.8 oz. On backcountry trips I don't use the included stuff stuff sack (weight for stuff sack is not included above). If you plan on using pillow inside of a mummy sleeping bag, I wouldn't use the size large. To help get a feel for size, pic below shows a medium Air Pillow on my Therm-A-Rest Prolite sleeping pad (see my separate review of that excellent pad).

In use, I inflate my Air Pillow to about 1/3 full, add a folded puff jacket on top and stuff both in a small pillow case - perhaps the best pillow setup above 12,000 ft! Recommended.

Medium Exped Air Pillow Rocks!

I picked this up a couple of years ago and it has been fine. It uses the same material as the SynMats, which is actually pretty comfortable next to skin. It has 2 valves on the back, and inflate and a deflate (however, you can also deflate through the inflate valve too...) It comes in a tiny stuff sack, which is not impossible to get back into, but you do have to work at it a bit. At 3 oz, it is not bad considering many other pillows on the market, however, that is almost 1/4 of a pound... so it is not the greatest either...

More recently, Exped released the "UL" version of this pillow, which was music to my ears. It uses the lighter weight material such as found on the Synmat UL pads. So, it is not as soft as the original version, and is a bit more crinkly sounding (although I hope this goes away with use). It too comes in a medium and a large, and are both lighter. Actually, my large "UL" pillow weighs in at 2 oz... a full 1 oz lighter than the MEDIUM originla version...

I am also more a fan of the traditional style pillow, so the contoured pillows aren't quite so natural for me. However, the larger pillow doesn't feel as noticeable as the smaller medium size...

Overall though it is a pretty nice pillow...

This is by far the best inflatable pillow for backpacking. I am not as much of a fan of the compressible pillows because they take up more space than this little thing. Most of the other inflatable pillows on the market are made of really thin material, but this one is made sturdy. It is also one of the thicker pillows you will find, so if you like sleeping on your side this is the pillow for you. This is the pillow for people who want comfort but don't want to take up too much space in their packs.

I love how light weight and easier to pack this pillow is, however, the downside is that it takes getting used to sleeping on an inflatable pillow. If you are going for minimalist then I highly recommend it. If comfort is more of your thing, then you might want to look into a compressible pillow.

I was skeptical at first on the comfort front but you can adjust the firmness by deflating air. It packs pretty small and it's a nice piece of comfort to take along any trip. Sure you can use a bag of clothes but it's so small and light why not just take it with you incase you're clothes are wet.

This pillow packs down really small. 5"x2.5"x2.5" and weighs around 3 ounces for the medium. Its really easy to inflate and deflate. I find it comfortable to sleep on. The only downside I can see with this item is it could puncture pretty easy if your not careful. The Pillow comes with patches and glue to fix any holes.

Nice lightweight pillow
