No Dans were harmed in the making of this video. I like Dan a lot, we just have a difference of opinion when it comes to camp pillows!

[DanBecker]

The Thermarest compressible cinch pillow the greatest pillow EVER! Join me and the rest of the Dan Beckers of the world! We know a good pillow!!

[Trekology]

Hey Justin, Willy from Trekology here! Really feel honored to be featured on your video again! Thanks for continue to recommend our Aluft 2.0 pillow! We do have a new pillow that will hit the market soon! Stay tuned!

[dudeymcduderson]

The Thermarest compressible pillow is easily the best pillow I've used. It makes camping feel like I'm sleeping in my own bed. But each to their own though.

LOVE my Themarest compressible pillow. Never had a problem with the foam bits totally compressing. It’s A little heavier but it’s more like my real pillow than any other I’ve tried…and sleep matters!! And I totally agree with you about the Klymit. Terrible. Thanks for the thorough review.❤😊

[martinerhard]

Can agree on the trekology one...really great pick

[CBne]

I use the trekology, which I love. But, I also put my puffy in the silnylon stuff sack that I carry my quilt in and use that for additional height/comfort.

[ThePotterD]

Thanks Justin. I'm definitely not the pillow virtuoso you are but I've used both the Trekology and Hikenture pillows and much prefer the Hikenture for comfort. I wince at the extra 70g weight though! As a side sleeper I like to half inflate the hikenture and slide my down jacket inside the cover for extra height and comfort. Best comfort in a trekking pillow so far. Have also used my buff as a pillow case for the Trekology and tucked the down jacket inside. That works pretty well too but I find the jacket tends to slip off the edge of the pillow, and the extra foam in the hikenture case (as thin as it is) does seem to make a difference. That said, the Trekology is very good pillow for the price and weight.

Great survey, Justin. I love that Trekology.

I love the Hikenture pillow ... Great review

[SummitSeeker]

I had been using the Outdoors Vitals pillow with a pillow case and was reasonably happy with the setup. My only concerns were the weight and the fact it wasn’t secured to the pad and thus moved around a bit too much. For an upcoming aggressive trip requiring an ultra lightweight load I upgraded a variety of key components, ie, pack, tent, & pillow setup. I now use the ZPacks pillow with cord and a buff puff around the pillow for comfort (2.7oz). To add to a luxurious nights sleep I put the sleeves of my down puffy jacket inside the buff puff. I don’t sleep in my jacket and the down sleeves add warm and incredible comfort to the pillow system. Highly recommend it!

Great video as always. I really appreciate the raw numbers as I'm a bit of a weight weenie and really try to balance carry comfort with amenities comfort, so to speak. The Nemo Fillo Elite is a great upgrade to the old Nemo Fillo as it's NOT at all as heavy - it's only 2.8oz compared to the old one that's 9.2oz - and the cover is removable and washable (the inner "bag" basically slides out of the cover when deflated). Although it's the only "camp pillow" I've ever really owned (outside of a cheap $15 super heavy compressible pillow off Amazon), it's very comfortable for me. It does deflate if you stop breathing into it, but honestly it's not that hard to just push the valve when you reach the end of your breath or desired fill pressure. Sleep is very subjective and finding something that feels great to everyone is almost impossible.

Super grateful for your recommendation on the Trekology pillow a few years back. Comfiest pillow I've tried and bang for buck I don't think you can beat it

[a_legitimate_salvage]

The Nemo fillo is my go to and I love it

[ernest]

HAHA I heart Dan Becker 🤣
I picked up a MEC camp deluxe pillow on sale and found it to be of pretty good value.. maybe comparable to the nemo filo? I pack it when I'm car camping or feeling bougie on trail. Would be a fair choice for your Canadian fans to check out. Thanks for another info packed video Justin, can't get enough of your gear focused content!

[dunoripavalan]

Thanks a bunch for this; I was just looking for a general which is better compress or inflate style pillow; looks like inflatable wins.

[MAURITS_METERSMAKER]

Hi Justin.
The Cocoon Travel Pillow Ultralight is really comfy. It feels close to a normal pillow. There is also a hyperlight version which is smaller.
The Hikenture one you recommended ended up in the bin after one night.
The Decathlon Forclaz MT500 inflatable pillow is also a good cheap choice. I have heard a reviewer say he didn’t like it thought and I keep wondering why that is.
Hope this helps and thank you for your advise.

[kenttheboomer]

I bought the Trekology 2.0 just over two years ago on Justin Outdoors recommendation. I have not regretted it once. Thanks, Justin.

I just ordered a Sea to Summit pillow based on your video. I am leaving on a 8, 000 mile bicycle trip across America leaving April 1! THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!😊
