Wednesday night, I used a silnylon stuff sack with clothing in it. Suspended it from my SRL with a Prusik knot. Very comfortable and double use item!

I chose thermarest because its the only one I have. However I have found the perfect lay in my blackbird that props my head up like a pillow so I rarely carry it anymore unless I am hiking in for an extended camp in one spot. Sometimes I will just roll up extra cloths as well.

I'm drawn to the open country. Its where the world makes the most sense. When I put myself out there I always return with something new.
I've got to echo a few others and say that I just used my clothes bag. A pair of socks and a jacket make a decent pillow. Not much is needed in a hammock anyways. And I'm a side sleeper too.

Hammock Gear down pillow! This thing rocks! I thought that it was to small at first but after using it a few times its just right. My new go to 3 season pillow
Whatever I have left in the pack.

Like others, I find no need for a pillow in my WBBB.
On the few occasions when I need a pillow:
a) if kayaking, I use a partially inflated paddle float inside a T-shirt;
b) otherwise, roll up a jacket.

I didn't see an option in the poll for my favorite:
The next day's clothes in my tarp's stuff sack.
I don't care to devote the space or additional weight for a pillow when backpacking.

Okay i voted for the Exped air pillow just because yesterday, 15 minutes after it was delivered (lightest package ever!) I was fast asleep ---on my bed.
I sleep both on my side and on my back so I was looking for something designed for both. In the hammock I don't really need a pillow when on my back, but on my side it would be nice. Bonus: It has grommets that allow it to be attached to the ridgeline.
I'll take the hammock out tomorrow and give it a test run. ...may take some pics

I like my goosefeet pillow. Got the bigger one for 1.7 oz, which is lighter than the little fleece cover that I used to use stuffed with clothing.

I use an inflattable airline pillow, the ones shaped like a 'U'...weighs around 1.7 ounces packs to nothing once deflated and is super comfortable-keeps my head in a position so I cant get a crick. love it.
