I'd have to spend a fair few thousand pound to fly long haul to save myself paying 20 quid for a pillow

Hardly, they're a loss leader as consumables, do you want a used pillow from some greasy haired tramp?

Can greasy haired tramps afford a long haul ticket? I'd say the chances of using one of their pillows is slim!

I asked my Mrs where my pillow came from she recons it was probably Dunelm before that I used a small one from ikea which was rubbish. I do have a green pillow case because it doesn't show the muck as white does.

Has anyone tried one of those inflatable camping pillows - saw one on a YouTube video a while back and thought it might be worth a punt. Ive got one of the Nash ones, the covers nice enough but the actual pillow is pretty rubbish to be fair. In hind-sight I should have just bought an olive green pillow case and whatever pillow I liked the feel on in Dunelm or something - would have been a lot cheaper and more comfortable

I used an inflatable pillow for years back in the 80's, I cannot recall where I got it from but I could not fault it, I used to just put it inside my fleece jacket and it was lovely and warm. Eventually I made a fleece pillow case for it.

The trick with an inflatable pillow case is not to over inflate them, it just makes them hard and horrible, just blow them up and leave the valve open so that the air pressure just matches the air pressure outside it then close the valve. Its a bit like using a SIM.

Sadly it got a puncture and meant to repair it, I still have it and I have never replaced it and just stole one of our Lasses and still use my fleece pillow case on it.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
