This reminds me of the thermarest compressible pillow, which I own and love. It folds up in a similar way but also has a cord to secure it and also only ways 7 ounces. It's a good middle-of-the-road choice for someone like me, who hates inflatable pillows.
I just bought the trekology version of that thermarest pillow, same weight 7oz. And I love it! Me and the fam even use it at home for naps on the couch and stuff and backpacking cuz it’s so much better that sleeping on a balloon! I’m curious what the difference is between the thermarest and trekology though. If anyone knows and would like to share I’d appreciate it!
+1 for the Thermarest compressible pillow. It's amazing and I always get a good night's sleep on it but I don't bring it on backpacking trips anymore because it just takes up too much space in my pack. I use an inflatable very similar to the trekology and it's fine if you slip a over tshirt or something to use as a pillowcase over it. Also the Thermarest pillow has been around for like 20 years I'm surprised more people haven't heard of it.
After seeing this video I got the My Pillow. Dude, this is the one. I sleep in a hammock and after 10+ years I've never loved any pillow solution before this. The weight is worth it to me. Its seriously perfect for me. Also thanks to this guy I'm self conscious of garish colors in my kit and have eliminated all orange and zombie green. I'm classy.
I got a travel pillow from Walmart only $3.72.love it best sleep ever. Tried a bunch of blowup pillows and didn't like them. The extra weight for the travel pillow is worth it for better sleep
I do the same thing. I bought my first one a few years ago. They don't wash well so I'm on my third one at this point. I've thought about cutting it in half, adding a little stuffing to it and sewing it up to save both space and weight.
I have all the pillows for camping. I now only use my travel My Pillow. I even have the Nemo Fillo and the My Pillow is just better. I don't think it takes up that much space in my pack at all but I'm also not doing 10 miles a day. Sleep is so important to me that even if I did long distances I would probably still pack my My Pillow. Thanks for the video!
I used to just stick my shoes under the head end of my pad. I've got a Sea to Summit pillow and luckily for me I like a firm pillow. I use a memory foam pillow at home so the sts works great for me. My Trekology pillow failed miserably. After a few uses it developed leaks all over the place. A pillow as a side sleeper is a must.
Great video, pillows can really make or break a nights sleep. I use the Therm-a-Rest Compressible Pillow (small), similar design and it's a little lighter at 7 oz. It was a total game changer for me (switched from the trekology ultralight).
Love my Outdoor Vital "free" pillow. A smaller air pillow. I let air out to suit and my head doesn't sink in because of it's smaller size then I put it in a Thermarest pillow case. Replaced my home bed pillow with it.
I bought a few Thermarest roll up pillows a couple of years ago for family camping. Before Christmas, I saw some MyPillow travel pillows that were similar in size and design, and decided to pick a couple up at $15 apiece at the local Menards hardware store. I've had the full-sized MyPillows for at least 5 years for regular use and the travel version is just as comfortable. Granted, it's not as small or light as a Trekology pillow but it's a heck of a lot more comfortable.
If you can find it, the Thermarest stuff-sack pillow it my favorite. I store close in it and then at night I put my puffy jacket in there and it is the best.
The Klymit Drift is the most comfortable pillow I’ve ever used and I toss and turn when I sleep. I drop a little weight just to take that pillow but you can take some foam out if you want to lighten it as well. I use it at home it’s so good!
I’ve always used an old throw pillow that came with a bedding set like 8 years ago. It’s maybe 10”x16” but it compresses pretty small and it’s always done it’s job. I’ve just never been a fan of sleeping on a blow up pool toy.
I bought a second because one was not enough (side sleeper). I ended up cutting them open and stuffing 75% of one into the other and I love it. I can still roll it up too.
My husband & I use these on short trips. They are worth it if you're just out for a few nights. I'm a side sleeper & fold mine in half. It does feel like a luxury compared to other backpacking pillows.
I use this with a Nemo Fillo under it. I’m a side sleeper and this is worth the extra weight IMO. I found other ways of cutting out weight just to have my double pillow setup.
A few years ago, my local Walmart had these marked down on clearance for $9 each...I got 4 of them so my kids and I each could have one. A little heavy, a little bulky, but it goes with me on every camping and backpacking trip.
Interesting video. This is an interesting topic to me. After my thru hike of the PCT in 2018 I came away thinking that I should have added the extra 8-10oz and gone with a real pillow. So now I.... Spend more money to drop the base weight and add the luxury item.
I have started using a very small “pillow” that was £2.50 with a blow up. Really does feel like best of both worlds. Yes that is two pillows but it is worth it for me.
About a year ago, I took a My Pillow and removed some of the stuffing. I placed the stuffing in a lighter handmade pillow case. I sleep with it on top of my inflatable pillow. It gives just a bit of extra height, which I need as a side sleeper and provides some softer padding. It weighs about 2 oz and packs down fairly small. My daughter in laws family owns one of the places that makes the pillow cases for My Pillow. I've often thought someone should reach out to Mike who owns MyPillow and ask him to create something for us bsckpackers. Maybe you could do some field testing on a prototype? I can just see you and Mike in a MyPillow backpacking commercial. Lol
Inflatable pillows are one of the areas of lunacy in camping circles that needs correction. ALL blow up pillows are simply posh balloons regardless of the velour, design and electronic welding. My most comfortable nights have been with an old pillow case stuffed with my fleece and odds and ends. Camping pillows = the Emperors new clothes.
The Nemo Fillo is heavy because they use memory foam. (Like MyPillow) Memory foam is some of the heaviest foam on the market. I used to have a Fillo and I replaced the memory foam with a piece of 1.5” thick standard upholstery foam that I cut out. It didn’t compress as much but it was way lighter. But overall I didn’t like the way that pillow had no baffles or structure to the blowup. Never be afraid to modify existing gear
Hi for me i have a normal baseweight from 3,4 kg for an UL hiker so i bring a therma rest mushroom pillow..i love it really cause with 210 gramms is not that much con for me but the difference that a cozy sleep has ...its worth it
I have a myog pillow that I made with scraps from my quilt project. It's small, not even half of the mypillow, but it does it's job and is lightweight, I haven't actually weighed it but I'm guessing maybe 100g.
I always use two pillows! i use a sts aeros or and aeros premium pillow attached to my nemo 2022 tensor with the velco tabs, and then i put a thermarest foam pillow in my sleeping bag! It makes the loft very controllable, and the foamcore adds the at home pillow feeling. It comes out to about 260 grams in total, but still a bit less than a my pillow!
It's similar to the Thermarest Compressible Pillow. I have the Cinch version, which firms up the pillow when you pull the cinch cord. It stops it being too flat if you want it more plump. I got the regular size and it is incredible 👌🏼 I think I paid £26 for it ($32).
I could not find a pillow that worked for me so i had a cottage company make one for me to my specs. It is also 10oz but there is no way i would do any length of trip without it. A good nights sleep is to important to me.
I love my Nemo Philo Elite Luxury pillow. This thing does look super comfortable, I'd actually consider getting one of these for shorter mileage trips. Or when I take my ULA ohm pack and go "heavy" for fishing trips deep inside GSMNP or Linville Gorge, where I'll make a base camp and venture up/down stream then return and sleep at camp. For shorter trips why not bring all the luxuries? No reason not to. Now if I am doing 12+miles a day at Linville, they yeah pack light as possible and stay under 25lbs "wet weight."
I’ve used the wise owl little snoozy for the last year. Haven’t weighed it don’t care. I’ve found my pillow after years of different pillows. I’ll cut weight on anything except good sleep.
Here's the pillow trick. Combine the trekology pillow with the MyPillow in a buff. Only blow up the trekology pillow partially. Perfect combo. You can still strap it to your sleeping pad. Best pillow combo ever. Sleep is ESSENTIAL!
I also use the my pillow and it is amazing! My other pillow which is a little pricier is the zpacks pillow stuff sack.$45 I usually stuff it with a down Cosco blanket So I have a pillow, stuff sack and emergency blanket for colder nights. Walmart also sells a small travel pillow that is same size as the my pillow. Thanks for the awesome video!
After coming back from a mostly crappy 2 night trip, I realized my pillow situation was much worse after getting a new sleeping pad to address other problems lol. I had 2 fancy, nemo and klymit, pillows in my cart but frankly I have a perfectly good pillow at home that actually weighs .1 oz more than either one lol. I wondered if anyone has ever brought out a full size pillow from home 😅 I’ll try it once, as long as I can keep it dry lol.
I’ve actually always wanted to try a down pillow from Goosefeet Gear or someone similar because it’s super light and small, but still much softer than an inflatable. I don’t ever see anyone share TH-cam videos about down backpacking pillows though, so I’ve been hesitant to shell out that much money on just a pillow just yet.
my s2s aeros is 53g, absolutely tiny, that's why I bought it. It annoys me so much i'm happy to carry a 300g pillow. I'm really at that point. Rest of my gear is expensive ultralight gear. I have much more than 300g of fat on my stomach to lose, until i'm shredded, i'm not going to be a gram weenie.
The MyPillow guy is a complete fool. I'm willing to compromise my morals for quality products on occasion but this company is built on insanity. Cmon Bryce! 🤣
I love my Trekology, for the versatility combined with how surprisingly comfy it is*; I have actually even turned down the StS Aeros it was originally made to ape, in favour of it. When I'm feeling luxe, I bring my StS Foamcore Pillow (in L) for the perfect support all night long; it's nowhere near as compact, obvs, but it does roll up small _enough_ that I can justify it - it's not like I ever personally hike _far_ , given that I'm rehabbing from a nasty spinal (both column & cord) injury. Because the Trekology's pad-strap has spoiled me for all other pillows & their tendency to "wander" in the night, I have rigged up a custom system for my Foamcore by taking a toddler pillowcase (which fits its wee dimensions perfectly) + a length of 1/2inch elastic, & sewing it in at either end. I cut to fit firmly around my thickest, 4inch pad, & when I am using my much-thinner UL pad I just gather the extra to one side + tie it off in a simple loop. It adds like an ounce to my pack, & it makes all the difference to my quality of sleep. *But I always put a tiny little 6inch square kapok/poly-wadding pad - that came as a "pillow"(ha) insert in the hood of an old, brandless sleeping bag - underneath it, just to give it that last extra .75 or so inch of height that my broad shoulders & long neck demand (I'm a side-sleeper). Funnily enough, it's actually comfier with that pad _underneath_ than on top, which may sound counterintuitive to some, but I really do find that that little valley in the centre of the Trekology just cradles my head so nicely.
Haha. I’m TH-cam famous now. Super cool you got it and tried it out. I have a few of the original travel pillows. My kids use them as their everyday pillows. The originals are a little smaller size but a bit loftier. Also, wash and dry it and will regain its loft.
@@matthewfurst1577 loft - what do you mean by loft? I felt like the Fillo was high in the middle and tapered off towards the edges so I always felt like I was rolling off of it. I like pillows that have more of a bulge around the edges like the trekology
$25?! A Wal-Mart Mainstay travel pillow is under $4 and is great. (14"x20") I don't roll it, but lay it flat in my pack between my hammock quilts and the rest of the stuff in my pack.
I like your style sometimes flamingos are more important than grams So many people would do a short overnight hike carrying your pack for a couple of hours and spend the evening around the campfire arguing about camp chairs and pillows and how many grams in a beer can. To all you doubters out there just remember flamingos are people too. maybe?
I actually bought a free pillow (just pay shipping!) from Outdoor Vitals. (I'm a sucker for advertisements) Its comfy and lightweight. You should check it out and give your thoughts! Great channel/vids! Keep it up! 👍
@@jopeters Higher pillows angle your head in a way that allows the fluid to drain back down into your body, if your head is tilted backwards because of a low pillow, it causes liquid to pool, which can cause minor swelling in soft tissues such as your eye lids. I'm just kidding I have no idea, it sounded good though didn't it 😂
LOL I love My Pillow pillows! In fact I have that exact same pillow! Well, not the Flamingo case... Cheers Bryce ! Oh BTW I stuff Clothing or my Termarest pillow under my Pad to elevate my head and then use a pillow.
Sigh. The pillow challenge! First off, I would not care if a MyPillow was stupendous; I cannot support that traitorous fraud, Mike Lindell. Second: I have 5 pillows and might still be searching. The Thermarest compressible is like your pillow-that-won’t-be-named, with bits of memory foam in it. It is too flat for this side sleeper. The Nemo fillo is good, especially if you modify with additional memory foam to mitigate that ballon syndrome, but it now weighs 10.35oz, Yikes. I currently use a S2S Aeros down covered pillow WITH (inside) a Goosefeet Gear medium sized down pillow. Very nice combo and 6.35oz. Not UL but I don’t care. :)
@@cal8362 Lol. I would, but the opposite of a traitorous fraud is not a communist. It's a patriot who believes in our system of democracy. Great comment though!
@@5ervalkat192 the US is a republic, and some people feel that our system has become corrupted by career officials who never leave Washington and multinational coorporate interest, who all seem to have 1 interest in mind, and that's not the American taxpayers
@@cal8362 Yes, but it's a democratic republic, so embrace my shorthand. And, I agree with you about corporate power having way too much sway now, but I suppose we may have different solutions for that problem.
Just back from two nights away and my Trekology pillow has a slow leak. I was inflating it every twenty minutes, this does not make for a good sleep! I’ve bought some twelve or thirteen, maybe more, pillows over the years but I’ve never found one I like. Perhaps it’s because I sleep on my side. The search continues…
You have got to be kidding.... you actively would support that clown that owns My Pillow?? So sad..and encourage others to buy from him also..Un Subbed....

Haha. I’m TH-cam famous now. Super cool you got it and tried it out. I have a few of the original travel pillows. My kids use them as their everyday pillows. The originals are a little smaller size but a bit loftier. Also, wash and dry it and will regain its loft.
Sea to Summit Aeros Down Pillow- stupid expensive but 2.5 oz packs small and is very comfy 😴
That said I also have thermarest compression travel pillow similar to yours and is like a pillow from home
Great video my man, the nemo filo does suck, I will be happy to send you mine
What don't you like about it?
@@helpfulcommenter for me I like loft and the filo has none, sorry bro forgot gave it to a friend.
@@matthewfurst1577 loft - what do you mean by loft?
I felt like the Fillo was high in the middle and tapered off towards the edges so I always felt like I was rolling off of it. I like pillows that have more of a bulge around the edges like the trekology
10 - 4 = 8? Hahaha, I have the Nemo lux and love it! It's in my bed right now..... What, did you stop drinking? No Yuengling beer in this video.
Yea I caught that one too.. lol! Maybe no one will notice 😆. And yea I dropped the ball on the beer in this one
$25?! A Wal-Mart Mainstay travel pillow is under $4 and is great. (14"x20") I don't roll it, but lay it flat in my pack between my hammock quilts and the rest of the stuff in my pack.
Happen to know the weight?
@@rockyracoonanddogman1720 Just went and weighed it. 9 oz by itself or 10.8 oz with the optional pillowcase that Walmart sells for it.
Thanks, I will pick one up tomorrow
Just wrap your trekology inside a nice fleece shirt for extra comfort.
the difference of a real pillow vs stuff sack pillow is night and day. I didn't think I could sleep so well in a tent!
I don't see the point of hauling 10 ounces around when the NEMO Fillo Elite Luxury weighs about three and is really comfortable.
Maybe because it's fifty bucks and the size of a postage stamp lol did you even listen to Bryce at all?
not that brand.
if MyPillow would reduce the size by 1/3rd that might be just right size
ive been thinking that since i got mine. i think im going to cut into mine and tear out some fluff
I like your style sometimes flamingos are more important than grams So many people would do a short overnight hike carrying your pack for a couple of hours and spend the evening around the campfire arguing about camp chairs and pillows and how many grams in a beer can. To all you doubters out there just remember flamingos are people too. maybe?
I actually bought a free pillow (just pay shipping!) from Outdoor Vitals. (I'm a sucker for advertisements) Its comfy and lightweight. You should check it out and give your thoughts! Great channel/vids! Keep it up! 👍
Those are some puffy eyes!!! You need a higher pillow! LOL. 🌟💫
What's pillow height have to do with puffy eyes?
@@jopeters Higher pillows angle your head in a way that allows the fluid to drain back down into your body, if your head is tilted backwards because of a low pillow, it causes liquid to pool, which can cause minor swelling in soft tissues such as your eye lids. I'm just kidding I have no idea, it sounded good though didn't it 😂
@@SalmondOutdoors I was reading that like “this person is insane” and then it was a relief to know you were just taking the piss
@@helpfulcommenter @Salmond Outdoors The thing is, I have a feeling that's the logic OP is using.
I totally believed you... 😆😆.. I was like... that explains everything!
I love my outdoor vitals inflatable , check it out it’s awesome!!! Best on the market…
LOL I love My Pillow pillows! In fact I have that exact same pillow! Well, not the Flamingo case... Cheers Bryce ! Oh BTW I stuff Clothing or my Termarest pillow under my Pad to elevate my head and then use a pillow.
Are you serious!?!?!? I love "my pillows" and I will have to get this one!!
I’d rather sleep on a rock than give that man a single penny.
Seriously, you would actually buy a product from this company??
Just ethically - there is no way I am putting money into My Pillow guys pocket. Sorry.
Just right to cushion the fall of American Democracy.

Sigh. The pillow challenge! First off, I would not care if a MyPillow was stupendous; I cannot support that traitorous fraud, Mike Lindell. Second: I have 5 pillows and might still be searching. The Thermarest compressible is like your pillow-that-won’t-be-named, with bits of memory foam in it. It is too flat for this side sleeper. The Nemo fillo is good, especially if you modify with additional memory foam to mitigate that ballon syndrome, but it now weighs 10.35oz, Yikes. I currently use a S2S Aeros down covered pillow WITH (inside) a Goosefeet Gear medium sized down pillow. Very nice combo and 6.35oz. Not UL but I don’t care. :)
You can try out "our pillow: its the rival communist version of "my pillow"
@@cal8362 Lol. I would, but the opposite of a traitorous fraud is not a communist. It's a patriot who believes in our system of democracy. Great comment though!
@@5ervalkat192 the US is a republic, and some people feel that our system has become corrupted by career officials who never leave Washington and multinational coorporate interest, who all seem to have 1 interest in mind, and that's not the American taxpayers
@@cal8362 Yes, but it's a democratic republic, so embrace my shorthand. And, I agree with you about corporate power having way too much sway now, but I suppose we may have different solutions for that problem.
Just back from two nights away and my Trekology pillow has a slow leak. I was inflating it every twenty minutes, this does not make for a good sleep! I’ve bought some twelve or thirteen, maybe more, pillows over the years but I’ve never found one I like. Perhaps it’s because I sleep on my side.
The search continues…
You know what else helps you get a good night's sleep? Booze!
😂
If you cannot carry a pillow then maybe you should invest in hiring a sherpa
I bought one but the cool American one
Good sleep is not a luxury .
i think Mike might need the money.
Being that a true Patriot is behind this product, I’m happy to support!!🇺🇸🇺🇸
You mean a true conspiracy theorist and treasonous insurrectionist trying to destroy democracy?
Fixed it for you.
@@helpfulcommenter lol!!! 😂😂
You have got to be kidding.... you actively would support that clown that owns My Pillow?? So sad..and encourage others to buy from him also..Un Subbed....
The My Pillow could be the absolute greatest pillow ever made (which it isn't), but I draw the line at doing business with traitors.
Agreed!
Voting for sanity with our dollars 👍
I would sleep on a rock before giving one dollar to the lying traitor. Principle matters.
Amen brother
I believe David Hogg was starting a rival communist pillow company called "our pillow" you could probably try that out if politics are important
I'd rather use a rock for a pillow over giving money to mypillow owner Mike Lindell.
Amen. Screw that traitorous shiller of autocratic conspiracy and propaganda
