It has a self-inflating mechanism so you don’t have to blow it up, and the valve allows you to control firmness. Furthermore, it has an additional Dia-Cut foam layer for increased comfort.

The size of this compressible pillow when packed is no bigger than a soda can and with the weight of just 4oz you really won’t have a problem to take it anywhere. However, keep in mind that it’s not machine washable and that if you need to clean it, it’s best to do it by hand.

The Aeros is a hybrid pillow which has an inflatable TPU bladder with an addition of a synthetic fill layer, to make it softer and nicer to sleep on. This way you get both comfort and adjustable firmness. The outer layer is made from 50D polyester which is brushed for a nicer feel.

It follows the contours of your head, neck, and shoulders to distribute pressure evenly. Finally, it’s very stable and doesn’t move around when you sleep.

This is a pillow that resembles those that we use at home. It’s a non-inflatable, compressible pillow filled with a memory foam (CertiPUR-US certified).

Thermal regulation of this pillow is excellent, and in addition to this, it’s hypoallergenic and dust mite resistant.

In addition, you can buy a waterproof cover for this pillow from the same manufacturer (if you need one).

The WellaX pillow is an ergonomic inflatable pillow which is extremely compact. It’s very popular among campers, and for a good reason. For an affordable price, you get an excellent quality product that measures 16x12x4 inches when fully inflated. Materials used are nylon and TPU, so this pillow won’t tear easily. The manufacturer claims that it’s water and heat resistant, which is a bonus because of unpredictable circumstances.

When fully inflated, the dimensions are 15x11x4 inches, and in addition to sleeping it serves as an excellent seat cushion too.

Even though it’s inflatable, this one is designed to be very comfy too. It features a self-inflating system, which means you don’t have to blow it up yourself. Just unscrew the valve and leave it to inflate. It takes a few minutes to fully inflate, but it’s very firm when the process is over so you don’t have to worry. There are two options you can choose from – an organic cotton top (blue) or a microfiber top (orange).

Both feel very nice, but regardless of which one you choose, you can’t wash this pillow in a machine. It’s recommended that you just wipe it with a wet cloth when it gets dirty. The bottom is made from a different material that prevents slipping. It’s about the usual size as other camping pillows – 18x10x4 inches. The manufacturer packs it in a nylon sack so you can easily carry it. It’s a great little pillow, definitely worth considering.
