MFH Fox Outdoor Inflatable Pillow - Black

Once folded, the pillow takes up very little space, and when inflated, it serves its purpose. You can always let out a bit of air to adjust the firmness to your own needs. Ideal for sleeping, unless someone prefers large pillows – in that case it might be too small.

The pillow has been tested in military conditions – it inflates quickly, is easy to pack into a backpack, and takes up almost no space at all. Once placed in its pouch, it's about the size of thin socks. In my opinion, at this price, it’s hard to find a better option, and the double layer of material means your face doesn’t stick like with other slippery fabrics. Additionally, there’s no need to worry about damage when using it on gravel.

It takes up little space but can greatly increase comfort, especially during cold nights. Remember that you are sleeping on a piece of rubber covered with polyester – the heat from your face has nowhere to escape. In summer this might be annoying, but in winter it's actually an advantage. Lying on your side causes pressure on your ear which can become uncomfortable after a while, but you can endure for several hours and then just change position. When lying on your back, there are no complaints at all.

The pillow is quite comfortable, and its material feels pleasant against the skin. However, it's worth remembering not to inflate it too much, as then your head might slide off – this wasn't clear to me at first use ;)

It's very light, takes up a minimal amount of space in a backpack or pannier, and inflates quickly. The air doesn’t escape. Personally, I pack it into a pillowcase to which I've added eyelets and a line so I can hang it near my hammock. The only minor downside is the lack of a built-in attachment or loop.
