I got one similarly. it was pretty funny. One time I followed the link and then I started thinking more and decided 'never mind'. Next time I was on youtube I got a different video that said 'we saw you went to our page but did not get the pillow...'. Which was kind of creepy. But I did spend more time investigating outdoor vitals and ended up getting the pillow. And I have used it ever since. Way better than my thermarest pillow I had before.
My partner recently got me a Thermarest Stuff Sack Pillow. I have not tried it out yet, but it might be OK. Weight wise, it will be slightly lighter than the Outdoor Vitals pillow (if I combine the weight of the sil stuff sack I use for my clothes and the weight of the OV pillow vs. just the stuff sack pillow). But is it about an oz.
I have also tried a 'non-inflatable' Teton camp pillow (impulse buy). That I do not care for, though my partner prefers it. I don't like it for the same reason I am leery of the stuff sack pillow. I put almost no air in the pillow and if I am on my back I just push it off to the side. I want maybe an inch of support when on my side. With the OV pillow, the air inlet (egress, port, opening, whatever it is called), is super easy to add or remove air to tweak the fill to just what I want.
Though now I feel guilty about taking their 'free' pillow and not buying anything else from them. I always look, but they are somewhere between budget and premium. But much closer to the premium price. So I always end up going with someone like Warbonnet.
