Jürgen: The media could not be loaded.  Feedback nach ultimativen Härtest von 4 Festivals

Pro: Das Kissen ist extremst platzsparend. Für mich einfach Top, da gerade beim Übernachten beim Camping immer der Platz in Rucksack die Hauptrolle spielt.

Schnell auseinandergeklappt und zusammengelegt, Verschnürung optimal, hält.

Contra:
Durch das häufige Zusammenfalten hat sich die Füllung unvorteilhaft verschoben und ist nicht so einfach wieder gleichmäßig auszuschütteln

Fazit: Zum Festivalbesuch bzw Camping top, da platzsparend und leicht handzuhaben. Wer allerdings viel Wert auf Comfort legt, sollte ein anderes Produkt in Betracht ziehen.

Quinten Cameron: After having poor sleep while camping I decided it's time to try something. There are many pillows on the market and it's hard to know unless you try. I tried several different versions and this one is the closest to my home pillow and gives me great rest. It relatively small and light. Wish it would pack down more for backpacking but good for car camping. Fabric is comfortable. Not the best pillow to prepare just before bed, will have no loft if stowed. The pillow does unfortunately lose loft while using. Like I mentioned this has helped given me a truly restful sleep while camping. I do recommend.

Oliver: Ein sehr schönes Reisekissen. Klein zu verstauen und plustert sich recht fix wieder auf.
Kann ich nur empfehlen.

Amazon Customer: I am a backpacker and honestly this pillow is worth the extra bulk and weight! I sleep very well with it. I put it in the bottom of my pack and it gets compressed down. When I am ready to use it , I give it a few good shakes and it puffs up.This is my backpacking luxury that I will never leave behind.

Bob: Good product, compressed quite small compared to similar product. Purchasers may want to buy 2 as one may not provide the thickness of a standard pillow, depending how light/compact a person wants to pack.

maple nomadmaple nomad: My purchasing criteria for travel/car camping pillow:
- Support for a side sleeper
- Soft and fluffy comfort to rest your head on
- Packable for travel (mainly car camping)

The Therm-a-Rest is a great pillow for a side sleeper and super comfortable. You do need to allow it time (4 hours or more) to expand to its maximum loft if it was left in its packed form for a long time. At first the lumpy foam material may feel weird on touch but once you rest on it you will only experience great comfort and you get reminded of how soft and fluffy it is. The packed size is about 1/4 of the fully expanded size so it is great for car camping but It may not be the best backpacking pillow when compared to a Nemo Fillo Luxury Camping pillow but the Nemo pillow cannot achieve the loft required for a side sleeper and it is still an inflatable pillow (with a memory foam topper) while the Therm-a-Rest feels just like your regular house pillow. Just check out the amazing loft you get from the Therm-a-Rest pillow. My family loved it so much, I end up buying another one.

Malon: The value of this depends entirely on if you fit within its target audience. Do you want to keep a pillow in your truck/car "just in case," but don't want it taking up a ton of space? Do you want to go backpacking and save space in your sack, but don't want to invest in an air pillow? This pillow is good for that. It's better than nothing in a pinch, but it's no substitute for what you have at home or a proper backpacking pillow for serious backpackers. However, if you're not sure if you like backpacking yet or you're on a budget, it's a great starter. The fabric feels nice on your skin while also looking nice--another plus.

Some criticisms:
When in its compressed form, the pillow is bulkier than expected--much to my disappointment--but as you roll it out it almost seems to shrink rather than get bigger, going in the face of what one would typically expect of something that's been compressed. It's worth noting that many foam pillows/mattresses will compress to fit their packaging and then fluff up after being taken out and allowed to air out. That is the case here as well; the size seen when you first unroll it is not its final size.

While it DOES expand (over a...

Richard Slickman: I camp and travel a lot, so does my family. We like to be comfortable. I've tried every method of pillow. I motorcycle camp a good bit, so I used to have the "jacket with your spare clothes tucked in" method, then I tried the inflatable pillow method, then I tried the inflatable wrapped in your fleece jacket method. Well? None really worked. Were they better than nothing? Yeah, I suppose so, but being in mid 40's I just wasn't getting a good night's rest on those pillows anymore. Upon the recommendation of a friend, I decided to try these. I guess I have been using the brand Therm-a-rest since I started Scouting in the early 80's, and they've always made a quality product. I've owned quite a few pads over the years (of every description and I have always been pleased with them) and I was impressed to see the pillow was about the cheapest you could get. Why not?

When the item arrived I was really pleased to see the fabric. It's poly, but not that slick, noisy junk that SO MANY of these pillows are covered with, it was more like a faux suede, soft, supple, and comfy on my cheek. The pillow doesn't pack down tiny, like some of the inflatables, but it isn't heavy either. When I...
