This TETON camping pillow is value for money to anyone on a tight budget. It is designed with the same technology TETON uses on their sleeping bags. Whether you are camping, backpacking, or travelling, this camping pillow may suit all occasions.

I found this pillow to be extra soft. I would say it is because of the SuperLoft Elite 4 fiber fill that also makes TETON’s sleeping bags fluffy. The pillow’s surface is lined with brushed poly P5 hi-count fabric, which prevents the pillow from sticking to your skin as you sleep on it. An extra double brush finish adds to the pillow softness.

I also like how compact and lightweight this TETON camping pillow is. It measures 30cm by 46cm and fits snuggly into a stuff sack measuring 10cm x 23cm. For anyone who loves backpacking, I would highly recommend this inexpensive camping pillow to them. You can get the pillow in color shades of black, green, grey, and brown. Add a TETON sleeping bag with matching colors and you are set for the outdoors.

When the pillow gets dirty, I just wash it with cold water and hang it under a shade. When it dries up, it gets fluffier.

The Sea-to-Summit Aeros pillow is the most expensive pillow I have seen so far. The pillow is designed with an array of features for maximum comfort, which perhaps explains its high price tag. A sea-to-summit Aeros pillow is inflatable and can be deflated later for storing.

I found this pillow to be quite soft thanks to the 50D polyester knit fabric. The pillow’s design also plays a big part in ensuring maximum comfort on the user. It features curbed baffles inside that contours to the head’s shape. In addition, the bottom edges are scalloped to align with the shoulders and neck. I felt comfortable whether I slept on my back, the side or face up while travelling in a plane. To add to the comfort, the pillow is lined with a synthetic fill. This synthetic fill also helps in making the pillow breathable.

Just a couple of breaths is all you need to fully inflate this pillow. The pillow retails in different sizes as well, from small, medium, large, and extra-large. I would recommend this to the outdoor-loving family that wants to be comfortable as they camp in the wilderness. The pillow deflates for easy storage when not in use.

This is one of the few blow-up pillows I have seen that address the problem of air leaks. Moon lence inflatable camping pillow has a special valve system that cuts the back flow of air. This ensures the pillow remains firm in the period you will be using it.

Moon lence inflatable camping pillow is available in three colors; blue, green, and orange. It is possible to purchase this particular pillow in its old as well as new design. However, I would advise that you go with the new design which has more features that address the common problems associated with blow up pillows.

The fabric on the backside of the Moon Lence pillow has a mate lining. This adds friction to the pillow preventing it from sleeping as you rest your head or back on it. The pillow’s ergonomic design takes the shape of your head or back to boost comfort. Its lightweight and compact design makes it easy to throw the pillow in a backpack and go for an outdoor adventure.

Moon Lence blow-up pillow is also made from an elastic TPU fabric. This prolongs the shelf life of the pillow at the same time making it breathable.

One thing that stands out about the Mersuii push camping pillow is how easy it is to inflate it. It has two knobs on either side which are used to inflate the pillow. This eliminates the need to tirelessly plow into the pillow to achieve the required firmness.

You can also adjust the inflation levels to suit your comfort needs. When deflated, the Mersuii camping pillow fits into a 7inch by 7.5inch carrying case.

I imagine how convenient this blow up pillow would be to use in public. I can quickly inflate it just by simultaneously pushing the knobs on both ends. When not in use, I only have to open the air valves and press the pillow to release all the air. I no longer have to endure embarrassing stares or make awkward sounds when trying to inflate the pillow with my puffs.
