    Hammock pillow

    I think I want a small stuffable pillow for my hammock. I mostly do hike in sites and prim camping but not thru hikes or super treks. Any opinions on which you like and why?

    I use a u shaped travel pillow. It works pretty great but it does not pack down too small

    I just stuff some clothes into a stuff sack or wrap them up in a fleece pullover.

    been using a tube shaped canvas yoga pillow with japanese silk cover filled with buckwheat for some time. takes a proper stuffing to be awesome, but without gets meh very quickly. after some strange shoulder issues for the last couple of months, i decided to try a c shaped memory foam travel pillow. i lanyard'd it to my srl at the same shock cord anchor as previous, and tried it out. slight constricting of the airway due to the 'depth' of the C arms, so i flipped it upside down and the clOUDS ABOVE PARTED AND FORTH CAME THE ANGELS TO WEEP UNTO THE GLORY. it was a tad warm with my 0 degree ahe new river (jarbidge? i can never remember) slung under me, but dome cradling unparalleled as of yet in my nearly 5 year hammock-sleeping journey. the comfort of a hammock CANNOT be beat, but if you don't figure out proper hangle, lay angle, and neck support the clouds wont part for you. they part for me again! *dancedance* the pillow i used i think came from walgreens? its round memory foam and it has like an elastic 'handle' at the outer edge that i made a little paracord-skin soft shackle to attach a random 7/64th dogbone to so the tether gets like play and can pull a little at both ends. maybe a C filled with those little tiny polymer beads would be cooler? Cool is the new search, C is the new new yoga tube.....now to find a japanese silk C
    but packable it does not seem to be. it could be forced into a smaller shape and a stuff sack could be built for it, but i dunno what that would do to the integrity of the foam. could be great, be a little dense/hard

    Just curious, do you find this comfortable through the night? Can you move your head enough to stay comfortable or do you get a 'crick' from being in one position?
    To hang or not to hang, that is the question!

    Omg yes I stay comfortable all night, can roll my head/neck in any direction, dont have to readjusting I turn or roll in my sleep, and I have never had any problems of losing it in the night.

    I have a small pillow from HG. It's too small and doesn't provide enough support for me personally. These days I've been using whatever down or fleece jacket I have with me as a pillow. Works for well for me. The HG pillow is nice and very light. You said you wanted something small so it might be a good option. I have a thermarest pillow from when I was a ground sleeper and I find the HG to be more comfortable if it only had more support.

    I use this Sea to Summit. https://www.rei.com/product/866771/s...pillow-premium
    Its fine, does what its suppose to do, and compresses to the size of a tennis ball. It's not my full time home pillow...but I do like it.
