Airhead Pillow

Very compact but comfortable travel pillow.

Works great! Very comfortable, very soft and attractive cover, and easily inflatable/adjustable for firmness. Neck cut-out maximizes its small size. Quite compactable for travel, but takes a bit to pack it into its small travel pack.

Nice size, soft, easy to inflate

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

Size Bought:

Large

It didn’t take much to blow this up, and was easy to compress to fit in the little sac it came with. It is less than half the size of my previous foam pillow when compressed but 3x larger when expanded.

No longer just a luxury

I bought an Airhead pillow back in 2020 and just wrapped up my fourth camping season with it. Prior to 2020 I would just bundle up a jacket or some clothes to use as a pillow, eschewing a dedicated inflatable pillow for weight concerns, considering it an unnecessary luxury. Well on my first trip with it back in 2020 that paradigm shifted … permanently! I’ve since used the Airhead on numerous through treks, and some shorter in and back hikes too (the West Coast Trail three times, the North Coast Trail once). It’s small, lightweight, and super comfortable. Three or four breaths (tops) inflates the pillow, and I don’t find it too difficult when packing it away in its storage sack. It’s also easy to remove the cloth exterior and throw it in the clothes wash whenever I get home from a backpacking trip. I highly recommend the Airhead.

Not impressed. Recommend buying a different brand for a inflatable pillow.

Quick and easy to inflate

Quick and easy to inflate (1-2 breaths) and the simple valve allows you to drop pressure quickly as needed to find the amount of air that is “just right” after you’ve gotten into your bag. Stuff sack is the right size - not too tight. Great pillow!

Perfect pillow

I used this pillow on a 5 days trekking trip in Iceland. On earlier trip, i used to pack clothes to " simulate " a pillow. Whit that pillow, now I know what is a is good night of sleep during camping. It is really comfortable and seems sturdy. I totally recommend

Solid Pillow

Great Pillow. Comfortable, easy to inflate, and the right thickness/depth.

Bought two and both had holes

There appears to be a manufacturing defect in the two pillows we ordered - the hole is in the exact same place on each. Only holds air briefly, and then rapidly deflates. Disappointing as we own thermarest sleep pads and have not had an issue. The outside cover is cozy.

Just received my pillow..intended for two camping safaris in June and July in Southern Africa. It seems comfortable enough and I know it is much better than some others I have used. I will review again after I use it. One thing I agree on is it is a tight fit in the small stuff sack. I tried it three times. My suggestions: fold along same folds the company used, and roll very tightly from the end opposite the valve to the valve end....then it was only about 10 seconds to actually stuff the bag. Like others, I will probably add a layer over the pillow (tshirt, etc) just for additional softness.

Great look, extremely comfortable. It

Great look, extremely comfortable. It took some time to refine the pressure, but that is totally a preference point, and part of the beauty of this pillow. I do wish you could buy more covers for it separately though.
