Partly inflated spare inner tubes make good pillow stuffers

Klymit Cush or Exped Air?

I went for the budget 18g one

with a buff over it it's better than a wine bag and didn't explod like the poundland one, probably not the best pillow ever but cheap and light

I still like the Klymit but I see Exped now do a UL air pillow ... much lightness. Haven't seen it available in the UK yet though.

Having never previously bothered with a pillow and having been amazed at just how uncomfortable a rolled up fleece could be, I asked santa to bring me a proper camping pillow. My wife, er santa obliged with one of these:

It does need a baselayer, or similar stuffed into firm it up but the difference was noticeable. It weighs buggerall, crams in the stuffsac with the sleeping bag and the improvement it delivered outweighed any downside to carrying it.

Might take it of your hands if you want to part with it?
