Airhead Pillow

Dad Wins, Kids Sleep! The Epic Car Ride.

On a bright Saturday morning, the family was set for their wilderness adventure to Chattanooga, TN. With a mischievous grin, Dad gathered the kids and presented a tiny circular bundle. “Behold! The coolest, comfiest blow-up pillows!” Dad announced, channeling his inner Clark Griswold. The kids skeptically inflated their new pillows and settled into the car. Soon, the combination of the pillows and the road’s hum had them fast asleep. Glancing in the rearview mirror, Dad smiled triumphantly. The trip to Chattanooga was smooth and quiet, punctuated only by gentle snores. Dad had won, and the kids slept soundly through the epic car ride.

travels with me

Perfect companion for my hammock, which travels with me on my bike and kayak. Very comfortable. Can adjust air for situation, whether hammock, camping, hiking or driving. I like it!

great pillow!

I love having a pillow that is adjustable in height and fits into the tiny pocket that is the head of my sleeping bag! I have another lightweight backpacking pillow that is rectangular and while it's comfortable, it just doesn't fit into the head space of my bag. This one fits wonderfully and makes for a much better sleep system.

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

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.
