ConsConsThe material can make a bit of noise if you turn or move it around a lot, and it can also be confusing to pack into its storage bag.
- Best ValueSummarySummary
A light, 10-ounce backpacking pillow with a stylish removable poly-flannel pillowcase for easy cleaning.

ConsConsIt’s not very wide, the padding isn’t the thickest, and getting it to reach maximum fluff can be difficult and time-consuming.
- Honorable MentionSummarySummary
A water-resistant and extremely lightweight camping pillow. Weighs only 3.4 ounces.
ProsProsIt folds down to five by two inches—the size of a soda can—for a super-compact fit. It’s simple to inflate and deflate, and you can control the firmness with the press of a button. It features a removable strap to connect it to your sleeping bag.
ConsConsYou may need a pillowcase or some sort of cover to prevent sticking to the material and improve the comfort. Fitting it back in the case can be a hassle.
