Camp Pillow
A proper pillow that rolls down to the size of a water bottle
This is a full-size head pillow: about 15 in long, 9.8 in deep and 3.9 in thick when it is lofted. It is not a horseshoe neck cushion and it is not a folded fleece. You lie on it the way you lie on the pillow at home, then in the morning you roll it, strap it and drop it into its bag.
That combination is the whole point. Most things that pack small are not comfortable, and most things that are comfortable do not pack. A single piece of soft foam does both, because you can squeeze the air out of it and it comes back.
About the size on the old version of this page
The previous spec block gave one size: 9.8 by 5.1 inches. That is not the pillow. It is the stuff sack with the pillow rolled up inside it - a cylinder roughly 9.8 in tall and 4.9 in across.
The pillow itself is a good deal bigger, and we have corrected it rather than quietly dropping it, because anyone who ordered expecting something the size of a paperback was reading the packed measurement by mistake.
What it is made of
A single block of foam inside a two-fabric cover. Both halves matter, and the old spec block only described one of them.
The fill: one piece of memory foam
Not shredded crumb, not polyester fibre. A single moulded block of open-cell foam, which is why it squashes flat under a hand and then rises back rather than clumping. The manufacturer does not publish a density figure, so we are not printing one.
The cover: brushed top, fleece base
The top and sides are a soft brushed fabric with a fine peached nap. The flat base panel is a denser grey fleece, which is the side that grips a sleeping pad instead of sliding off it in the night.
The cover comes off and washes
The outer cover is removable and machine washable, which is the difference between a camp pillow you use for one season and one you keep. Wash the cover; never put the foam block in a machine.
The old spec block said "Polyester + Fabric" under Material. That described the cover, not the fill, and it is the reason the page appeared to argue with its own title.
What actually arrives
Pillow, stuff sack, strap
The drawstring stuff sack and the elastic binding strap that holds the roll closed both ship with it. The old page described packing it into a small travel bag without ever confirming one came with it. It does.
A maker's woven label
It arrives carrying the manufacturer's own small woven label stitched into the side seam, as it does in every photograph here. Worth knowing, so it is not a surprise out of the bag.
Rolling it down
- Fold it in half lengthways and press with the flat of your hand to push the air out of the foam.
- Roll from one end, keeping the pressure on, until the fabric fans into soft folds at each end of the cylinder.
- Loop the strap round it to stop it springing open, then slide the roll into the sack and pull the cord.
Unrolling is the reverse and takes about a minute of waiting while the foam draws air back in. Give it that minute rather than judging the loft the second it comes out of the bag.
Who this is for, and who it is not
Tent, van, RV, car and spare bed
Anywhere weight is not the deciding factor and you want to sleep properly. It is also a genuinely good pillow to leave in a car boot or a guest cupboard.
Counting grams on a long trail
At about 15.2 oz it is heavy for a backpacking pillow. Ultralight pillows weigh a fraction of it, because they are inflatable and far less comfortable. If your pack weight is the thing you optimise, buy one of those instead.
Sitting upright on a plane
This is a flat rectangular pillow. It has no horseshoe cut-out, so it will not hold your head up in an aircraft seat. It is for lying down.
Not a medical or therapeutic product
It is a comfortable pillow. We make no claim that it corrects posture, treats neck pain or does anything to your spine, and you should be wary of any pillow listing that does.
How long it lasts
There is no air chamber in it, so unlike an inflatable pillow there is no valve to leak and nothing to go soft overnight. That much is structural.
What we will not tell you is that it holds its shape for ever. All open-cell foam softens with use over a long enough period - that is what foam does - and neither we nor the manufacturer hold longevity testing for this one. Keep it dry, store it lofted rather than compressed when it is at home, and wash the cover instead of the foam.
Specifications
Sleep on it properly, then roll it away
A real pillow's worth of foam, a cover that washes, and a bag that turns it into something the size of a water bottle.
