    It weighs around 1.6 oz or so and compresses to a size that would fit inside a toilet- paper tube. I keep it compressed when packing by wrapping it with the draw cord (which also attaches it to the ridge line) and tucking the end under.

    would you mind posting a couple of photos of your solution? I used the Thermarest small compressible foam pillow, and while it’s the best compromise I’ve found it’s still 7oz and bulky when packed.

    . Standard is better than their luxury for support, the luxury has better feeling fabric.

    Lighter colored one is the luxury, semi transparent and soft.

    I was looking at the Sea to Summit inflatable last week. It's hard to pass on that volume...about the size of a tennis ball packed down. Just not sure I want to mess with it given my bad experience with another inflatable. Decisions...

    Sure, but I don't think it will tell you much more than I already did....

    I like mine, mainly in the warmer months and when I need lower volume. I never inflate it all the way unless I'm on the ground, which is very rare, and have used it for several years without any problem.

    I haven't tried it yet, but one of those giant sponges for washing your car has been recommended in the ultralight backpacking community. Worth a shot for how inexpensive they are.

    I normally just use a thin blanket and stuff the corner together to make a small pillow.

    The foam "nugget" idea is great. My Pillows have a similar content.

    LOL, Mike Lindell...wild stuff lately.

    I've been using a wadded up coat turned inside out for a few months. Finally broke down and bought an Ascend inflatable pillow. X Large. It works good inflated about halfway. The air valve doesn't get in the way. I just found a small stuffed pillow that came with the tree nest for my climbing deer stand. Don't know why I didn't think about using it before. Going to try it this weekend.
