Unfortunately, I don't recommend this pillow because the material it's made from is unpleasant to the touch and causes discomfort while sleeping. It would definitely be better to choose a pillow made from a different material.
Mil-Tec Self-Inflating Pillow - Olive
Self-inflating travel pillow crafted from resilient polyester, enhanced with a waterproof PVC layer. Filled with polyurethane foam that has self-inflating properties.
Shape adapted for comfortable rest
The compact foam structure allows for easy folding, and once unfolded, it springs back to its original shape. Its traditional design guarantees comfort and adequate neck and head support. Ideal for sleeping outdoors or during travel, no matter the duration.
Adjustable firmness and reliable valve
Featuring a reliable, robust valve with an integrated cap. Once the valve is opened, the foam automatically absorbs air, reaching the desired thickness in minutes. You can also inflate manually for quicker setup.
Easily adjust the softness level by adding or releasing air to suit personal preferences. Galvanized welds offer resistance against compression and heavy use.
Easy storage and transport
After using, just unscrew the valve and expel the air by rolling it up. Once the valve is secured, the pillow can be stored in its cover.
The set comes with a drawstring transport bag and elastic straps for convenient packing.

After a year of occasional use, the pillow starts to leak, especially around the valve. I have two of these pillows and both have the same problem – they lose air.
-
I would rate it rather average, even poor. It started to leak air quite quickly, and the leak appeared around the valve – and I'm not the only one, as my friend has the exact same problem. On the plus side, it's flexible, which I personally don't mind. It takes up a lot of space, almost as much as a 3x3 tarp. In my opinion, though, it's more comfortable than a basic inflatable mat from Decathlon.
-
The pillow is comfortable, lightweight, and works perfectly for outdoor trips. The material is sturdy and protects against moisture and abrasions. It provides comfortable rest, and the firmness can be easily adjusted to your own needs.
-
At this price, it's a really decent product. The self-inflating pillow is a bit too high for me, but it’s easy to adjust with the right pressure. The self-inflating system works only partially, the rest you need to inflate by mouth, but it’s not a problem. It’s comfortable to sleep on, the valve keeps the air well. I was well-rested, I recommend it.
-
The pillow was tested on a car trip, unfortunately it didn't meet my expectations—the self-inflating process is long (it inflates to about 20% on its own). The biggest downside is the very crinkly material, which makes comfortable sleep impossible—both I and my wife found this problematic. I recommend it only to those who don't care about head comfort. Plus for its size compared to a regular pillow.
-
The pillow is very well made, and the material is pleasant to the touch. Thanks to its proper size and shape it provides comfort while sleeping. The valve is sturdy. A useful gadget for any trip.
-
The pillow doesn't hold air well, and the self-inflating function works only a little—up to 10% of its capacity; the rest must be inflated by mouth. The air leaks out completely within two hours, even though the pillow is not damaged.
-
The self-inflating pillow does its job well. For people who prefer more firmness under their heads, you can give it a little extra air. Some air escapes over time, but overall it works well.
-
After one day, the air started to leak—it turned out there was a hole near the valve. After patching it, another leak appeared on the opposite side after three days.
-
Comfortable pillow, takes up very little space, you can toss it in your backpack and forget about it. The self-inflating function doesn’t work as well as the name suggests, so you need to add a bit of air, but thanks to the polyurethane it doesn’t take much effort. The material is fine, and the price is good too.
-
The pillow is very comfortable, has a well-thought-out shape. Just keep in mind that when packed it is quite large, so it might not always fit in your backpack. Still, a good night's sleep is guaranteed :)
-
I had to claim the first pillow because it was losing air. After replacement, the new one started leaking after two years too. Other than that, the pillow was okay and helpful. I used it with a pillowcase because the material is slippery and not too nice to the touch.
-
Durable, easy to use, and pleasant to the touch. When fully inflated, it’s a bit too high for me, but you can easily reduce its volume to the desired level without losing comfort.
-
Great product. Very comfortable, though you need to inflate it a bit more. It could be a bit smaller after packing, but it's inexpensive and the size for this price is impressive. I'm happy with the purchase and recommend it wholeheartedly.
