worth every gram

I love this pillow. I sleep so much better on the pillow than with a strategically rolled up puffy. I was reluctant to add luxury grams back into my bag but now that I've used one I'm never going back.

Nocturnal Noggin Pad

Does the job - lite, no frills, my required 4" of height for a camp pillow.

I used the airhead light

I used the airhead light for a week long sheep hunt. It was a life saver. I slept comfortably and it weighs nothing.

Great product

Helps you rest at night. Extremely light weight. I always used an extra jacket for a pillow but an inflatable pillow that is this lightweight is great to have in any situation. Would recommend to friends / anyone interested in a good rest

Not the best bang for your buck

Bought this pillow used it on a few trips and the seam seal came apart. I tried to fix it but my fix failed. Emailed customer service on 30 Aug 2023 still no reply and today is 20 Sept 2023. Just submitted a warranty request let's see how long it takes to get a reply from that. Not impressed with Therma Rest.

Very comfortable

I started using this as my sleeping pillow in my bed room. I set it at roughly 70-80% air full and it serves as comfortable pillow that doesn't hurt your nick in the morning. I have this pillow for a year and I am considering to buy another one to keep as a back up. Also, I have not used air pillows at all, this is my first air filled pillow that I owe so I don't have anything to compare it to.

Purchased it as an airline travel seat cushion.

I weigh 200 and gave it a test...no POP! Haven't used it yet on a long flight, but looking forward to no deflation!

Great Pillow

Great pillow, very light, and nice and firm. Packs down exceptionally small. The fabric is soft & unlike other air pillows I don't get much of a drum-like feeling from this when sleeping. Highly recommended for 3-season use.

Alt Use

I bought this as a seat cushion for my bad back. When I received mine it had a leak. It was returned without issue and I received a credit very fast! Very happy with the company and customer service. I will be reordering this soon.

Don't use your rope as a pillow.

I used to use my gear as a pillow but now I have this and i dont think i will go back. It makes a difference in comfort and sleep quality, my face probably appreciates the softness and cleanliness as well. I fill it to the max for reading but then I deflate it so it becomes squishier when i am actually going to be sleeping. I store it in my sleeping bag so i never forget it. It packs as thin as a manilla envelope.

Decent enough but a little noisy

This is a nice light weight pillow for backpacking. It packs down small and is moderately comfortable. Like most inflatable pillows, it tends to move around at night and makes some noise when you move. But all in all it is a decent pillow for a good nights sleep.

Nice!

Never thought I would bring a pillow, but after recommended by a friend, I tried this. My sleep improved, making any trip better. Won't go without it now.

Small Enough It's Like ""Why Not?""

I'm pro pillow when backpacking, but would still go with the old sweatshirt pillow from time to time. This thing is so small you might as well bring it. I just tuck it in the same stuff sack as my sleeping pad.

Light, compact and comfortable

Skip the storage bag to save money and materials. Most probably won't need it.

Worked well for the first few trips!

Was using it on about 5 or 6 trips and then the seal started to leaked after I tested it in water.

Ultralight and comfortable

I've tried a few ultralight pillows and this one is the most comfortable one I've used. My wife is jealous of my pillow after sleepless nights with her Trekology pillow. Weight on my scale is 2.6 oz with the stuff sack. Super light and packs up tiny. I use a Buff on mine as a pillow case.

Weighs nothing, way better than using anything else

I sleep much better with the airhead than using my fleece top or anything else I carry when backpacking or thru hiking.

Love this pillow!

This thing packs so small I just stuff it in my sleeping pad stuff sack with my sleeping pad. Boom. Pad and pillow always packed and ready to rock.

Great packable quiet pillow

My partner as I took some of the airhead porotypes across Europe and Norway. 13 countries and no complaints! I cant sleep on the foam pillows as they get too hot for me and are too noisy(not to mention they take up more space). The airhead is great as you can inflate it to you desired firmness without the added frustration of noisy material brushing together. The soft stretchy polyester surface is comfortable, cool and quiet. Great travel pillow and a no brainer in the backcountry.

Don't let the minimal pack size fool you. The Air Head Lite provides the same big comfort as Therm-A-Rest regular Air Head for a fraction of the weight. The air pillow provides the perfect amount of loft for comfy nights at camp. Customize the firmness of the stretch-knit surface before drifting off into sweet backcountry sleep.
