TREKOLOGY Aluft 2.0 Small Inflatable Camping Pillow for Backpacking, Travel

So I purchased this inflatable pillow for my trip to Belize. First I used it on the airplane as a lumbar support pillow. I love the fact that you can inflate it as much as you want to make it comfortable. It was easy to inflate and deflate and it's extremely compact and fit with my other stuff that I use when flying into my backpack. When I was in Belize, I also use this pillow as a pillow that goes in between my legs when I lay on my side like I do at home. I also used it as a regular pillow for my head at some times. And now I'm using it as a cushion under my butt to sit on. My tailbone is bruised and this is making it a lot more comfortable for me to sit. Especially on plastic chairs that are outside. It definitely holds its air if you make sure the insert is correct and closed all the way. This thing is an absolute necessity for me and I've just ordered another one from them. We can keep these in our vacation condo that will compact so small so we can store them in our owners closet. We love the softness in the durability.

First of all, my confessions: I'm a sleeping snob. Not a snob when I'm asleep, but a snob about my sleeping arrangements. I've lived in three countries and eight states; I've slept in a LOT of beds (I could tell you stories of bedbugs, mice, cockroaches, termites, bats, racoons, diesel fuel, stone pillows, worn out springs, protruding springs, no springs, short beds, beds so narrow that two people had to sleep in opposite directions to fit...you get the picture). Now at the beginning of my 7th decade, I've a routine I follow when I sleep. But the weak link in all of this is, you guessed it, since I am reviewing this item, the pillow. Long story short, the wife and I were planning a trip to Aruba last month and I knew I didn't want to spend five nights on hotel pillows. Neither did I have room to take my home pillow. So...off to Amazon I went armed with my encyclopedic knowledge of my sleeping habits. After looking at a lot of 'em, I ordered this one in orange. Why orange? Who knows, except that I felt I needed a little excitement in my life. (I once observed my dad in the garage changing the oil in the car. Funny thing, he had all the oil cans, when oil still came in cans, upside down. I asked him about this and he replied with a sheepish grin, "Just needed a bit of excitement.") I read some of the reviews and looked at the pictures and thought, "This just might work." Plus, it was deflatable and weighed so little and wrapped up so compactly, that I ordered it. Fast forward to Aruba. I stripped one of the hotel pillows of its case, inflated my new pillow, put it in the case, and proceeded to get comfortable. Some of the reviews indicated that you might have to adjust the air volume to get it just the way you wanted it, and sure enough, after about three changes, I felt like I had it about right. And I slept well. For five nights. When I got home, yes, again you guessed it, I replaced my home pillow with this little slumber number. I've been sleeping on it since. It hasn't lost air and gives me better support than other pillows. I don't know how much more convincingly I can recommend this little orange pillow than to tell you I'm using it at home instead of using the others I own. I sleep better, I am master of its height and support, and its shape cradles my head unlike any other pillow I've used. Can't beat that for $17. Now some notes. 1) There IS a learning curve to the valve. Press it one way and you inflate it. Press it the other and the valve opens and it deflates. I can't help wondering if some of the reviewers that claimed it lost air hadn't mastered the valve. Or maybe there's a tiny hole in the pillow. Or maybe the valve's defective. It happens. Personally, I haven't noticed any change in volume since I blew it up the first night back from the Caribbean, so I think I've learned the valve technique. 2) There is a better way to deflate it to get all but a few molecules of air out of it. Well...maybe all but a few more than a few. Open the valve and start from the opposite end by rolling it up tightly like an oversized straw. Then unroll it. Or not. You'll get a flat-as-a-pancake, actually a flatter-than-a-pancake, (or an oversized straw) pillow that'll slip into any ol' place in your luggage. 3) It IS smaller that regular pillows. So...if you're a big pillow guy or gal, you probably won't like it. 4) I tried using it on the airplane coming back to the US, and it's just not a plane pillow. I finally tried placing it on the seat back tray and laying down on it. But you know how little room we regular Joes and Joanns get in boarding group 5. It didn't work. But, hey, it isn't made to be a plane pillow, so I'm ok with that. I'll sum it up. A good pillow, even if you only use it for camping or trips. A good price. A good structure for head support. It has some little dots on it that prevent it from sliding around if you don't use a pillow case. It comes with a tote bag (though why you'd want to use it is beyond me when you can get it so flat when deflating) and a strap that I think is supposed to be wrapped around a sleeping bag to keep your pillow from moving at night on slippery fabric. I can adjust it however I want, so it isn't a one-size-fits-all sort o' thing. And, oh, it's orange; but the teal's nice, too.

I purchased this to include in a mid-price light-weight backpacking kit (as one of the budget pieces), and after a season of use I am satisfied with it. The material is slightly stretchy which is good for providing some extra softness after being inflated. The outer fabric and feel is relatively comfortable, even without a cover. The valves are robust and are equipped with a one-way-flow toggle, which allows for easy inflation and deflation. The included button-secured strap, along with the stippled grippy bottom texture, keep the pillow well secured to my sleeping pad throughout the night. Since it packs small and only takes a few breaths to inflate, I keep it in the pouch on the waist belt of my backpack and additionally use it as a sitting pad during down time. Ultimately it fits well within my kit and, while it may not have some features expected from high-end options (like an included cover, added insulation, or ultra-light design), it is likely to satisfy the needs of most who are looking for a convenient and comfortable light-weight option for a camping pillow. Notes: I am a middle-aged slim-built side sleeper who has a lot of discomfort during sleep in general. This pillow gives me a fair night of sleep given the general rough conditions involved in camping and backpacking. It was a bit cheaper when I purchased it (around $13) but I would probably think it was a good option even at the current price of $19.99.

Got 2 of these to take camping and boy are they fantastic! They are great because they can be tucked away in almost anything while deflated and they blow up to a comfortable size to sleep with that you can still adjust for firmness. We didn’t use the straps since we were sharing an air mattress but the straps are removable so you can still have the full effect of the anti-slide grips on the back of the pillows. There was a lot of humidity and rain where we were but these pillows didn’t seem to hold on to any dampness or moisture to make it uncomfortable to put your head on. These aren’t your 5-star hotel pillows by any means but they are very comfortable for a travel pillow and priced very well. These worked for both back and side sleepers. (each of us) We only had to add more air to one of them once and these were used for 6 nights straight so they keep and hold air nicely. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a lightweight travel pillow or just as a gift for a camper!

This Inflatable Pillow is amazing! I have been using it for once a month camping trips for over 2 years now and it still works perfectly. It takes less than a minute to get it set up and only a few breaths to inflate. You can adjust the firmness of the pillow to your liking based on how much you inflate it. Also, it is a super comfortable pillow for camping and way better than just bringing a bed pillow on a Camping Trip. We used this pillow for a Backpacking Trip to Philmont Scout Ranch, and it held up great during a weeklong trek. It took up almost no space and was super lightweight and easy to use. I highly recommend this product to anyone who is considering purchasing a Camping Pillow.

If you’re on the fence about a pillow get this one It was easy to inflate , lightweight and the strap fit around my ground pad easily This is so much better than sleeping on a pile of clothes This is the cheap and light pillow you are looking for

I bought 2 of these in 2023 and used them only a couple times when I needed to pack light. They are pretty comfortable - a little slippery if you can't secure them with the strap. They also roll up very compact. The inflation valve is very handy, with the button for filling or emptying. My complaint is that one of the pillows stopped holding air. I sprayed it with soap water to try to find the leak and it's like a whole few-inch section had become porous or something. I don't think I'll be able to patch that.

I got this pillow for backpacking/camping, and it has been everything I hoped it would be. I've taken it car camping and backpacking. It is durable, comfortable, easy to inflate with only four breaths, and is easy to deflate and pack up. So far, after six camping trips, mine hasn't had any leaks. I like that it has rubber dimples on one side to minimize the pillow slipping around while sleeping. I also discovered that it fits perfectly in the hood portion of my sleeping bag. When I draw the string on my bag, my pillow stays put. The valve is great, too. It inflates without losing air, and it has that feature where you can gently press the valve button to deflate it to get your comfort level. My most recent trip was backpacking in the Ozark Trail. It really does fit in the palm of your hand, is four ounces, and packs up very well. I liked it so much, I ordered a second one to use as a wedge between my legs when I sleep. At home I use a foam wedge between my knees when I sleep to help with hip pain because I'm a side sleeper and getting on in years. When I camp, I get hip pain because I don't have my wedge. Now, with the trekology pillow, no more hip pain! Edit: I forgot to add the most important part from my original post: comfort! One thing to consider is that this is NOT your comfy home pillow. Once I got that out of my head, it only took a couple of nights to get used to it. I get an excellent nights' sleep with this pillow. I won't go backpacking without it.

Heel klein op te vouwen in mini tasje. Super licht. Ergonomisch gevormd.

This pillow is world-class! I bought 4 different pillows to try out; A Sea-to-Summit Aeros Ultralight pillow, which is highly rated all over the internet, the more premium Sea-to-Summit Aeros Down pillow, the HIKENTURE pillow and this one. This one beats them on all fronts: - comfort is excellent, both when inflated completely or just partly - noise is almost non-existing. The HIKENTURE was by far the most noisy, but the Sea-to-Summit Aeros Down didn't do much better. - it packs almost as small as the Sea-to-Summit Aeros Ultralight pillow, yet it is 1.5x the size when inflated Highly recommended!

Cet oreiller ne présente que des points positifs: Grande largeur, optimale pour mon matelas gonflable, Tient bien en place grâce à la sangle qui se fixe autour du matelas, Silencieux, ne fait aucun bruit quand on bouge la tête, Poids annoncé respecté et relativement léger, Gonflage sans effort avec la bouche en 3 ou 4 expirations, avec ajustement par une légère pression à l’intérieur de la valve qui laisse s’échapper avec précision la quantité d’air souhaitée, Ne se dégonfle pas, je viens de l’utiliser pendant deux semaines dans mon lit et l’oreiller a conservé son gonflant d’origine, Je le destine à mes bivouacs en montagne, et très franchement il est parfait. Je recommande vivement. Espérant vous avoir été utile pour votre choix …

I just received this nice little piece of luxury and although I haven’t exactly tested it out outdoors I can say that it’s super simple to inflate. I’m a pretty big fella 6’3 250lbs but it took me 3 full lung breaths to inflate the pillow to the max firmness. It’s super compact, I recently got into the camping world and purchased a $4 self inflating pillow from the dollarstore here in Ontario. It was decent but I noticed it wasn’t ergonomic and it slipped and slid away from me all over in the middle of the night, you won’t get that with this puppy. It’s got a detachable elastic strap on the back that you can fit around a sleeping mat or something else of the sort or if you have a mummy bag you can keep it in the hood part. There is also tiny little nubs on the back which do add some traction. I’m personally a side sleeper and I roll throughout the night like a madman and although I haven’t tried this outdoors like I said I did of course try it out when I first opened it and was pretty impressed. There’s a bit of a groove at the bottom of the pillow that can kind of tuck into your shoulder if you’re also a side sleeper and where your head rests there’s a dip in the pillow to kind of cradle your head which is nice and actually pretty comfortable, I was honestly tempted to take a little nap. The nozzle where you inflate the pillow is pretty awesome as well, it’s got a little clickable button, once it’s clicked in it makes the pillow one way inflatable meaning you can stop between breaths to fill up the old lung bags and not risk losing the air in the pillow. If you find you’ve blown it up too much or you feel like making it a little less firm you can open the cap and kind of push the button half way down without pushing it all the way to let a little air out till it’s reached MAXIMUM FIRMNESS! I’m sure if you’re interested in buying this pillow you’ve done quit a bit of research like I have and you know a decent amount about it, I personally bought the black one for about $18 shipped which is a steal compared to some of the pricier companies and virtually the same. From what I can see so far you won’t be disappointed, it’s super affordable, it’s comfy, it’s ergonomic, it packs up insanely small if you’re into the ultralight kind of thing and you won’t lose it in the middle of the night and end up using whatever you can grab within arms length to put under your head and end up waking up with a ruined neck. Super recommended.

This was a real surprise - the pillow has a clever one-way valve to make it easier to blow up; three or four puffs and it is full; I an a fussy sleeper but I found it quite comfortable, best if blown up till still a bit soft, not rock hard; it packs up absolutely tiny and weighs almost nothing. It is great.
