For years from the mid 80's to early 2000's I used an inflatable pillow and it was brilliant, it had "Flocked" surfaces and very warm and soft. I regarded it as my lucky pillow but sadly, it punctured and I have never been able to get one as good. So now, I just use a normal feather filled pillow with washable outer with a pillow case made from fleece that I made.

One of the things I learnt to do with an inflatable pillow was to blow it up, and let the air come back out to it was almost soft and then put the plug in. Put too much air in and it would be too hard, or if you did blow it up hard, put your fleece jacket over the top of it folded up like an other pillow over the top.

Inflatable pillows are horrible, just use one like you have at home.

>> I suppose you felt let down<<

Oddly enough, I did, after it had punctured, I still took it with me for about a couple of years and used it. But, about every 3 or 4 hours I would have to blow it up again.

In the end, I gave up on it, but I still have it. With the advent of SIM's I'm hoping to find a puncture repair patch that might work on it. Bought one last week but not tried it.

Overall though, they are crap unless your lucky to find a good one like I did.

I use a Vango inflatable pillow, self inflating, you can top it up by mouth if you need to,..

I found to get the most comfort out of it is to only use 50% pumped up,I use it with a aqua sleeping bag,and snugpak softie 9 ,and jungle bag...its best used in the hood so it doesn't slip out of position..find it great...I also recommend the adventure 25 sim,by multimat,it turns a bedchair ,very comfy..

And if your on the deck,the 'venture' ,by Thermarest is brilliant as well....
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
