    UL/Comfy Pillow Options

    Not sure where to ask this question since a pillow goes under your body I figured 'Bottom Insulation' was as good of a spot as any.

    I'm looking for a pillow for my UL hammock setup. Weight in my pack is something I place at a premium but with a pillow being a luxury item to begin with I want to find the right combo of weight/comfort.

    What are you all using for pillows (and what do they weigh)?

    I should have mentioned that this is my current method but hiking clothes in my face all night is not always the best odor but as you say it does add comfort without weight.

    This has been covered a dozen times in the last few months but my favorite pillow is the Nemo FILLO™. The lightest pillow I take is the Klymit Pillow X Inflatable. The Fillo is much more comfortable.

    I just bought one of these pillows from Jared at Simply Light Designs and love it. Great price too.
