Teton Sports Camp Pillow Review
What it is : Luke is back with another review and this time, he’s reviewing a camp pillow from Teton Sports.
Find out in this episode all that it does right and areas where it may fall behind.
Materials :
Fill : SuperLoft Elite 4-Channel Hollow Fiber
Inner Shell that’s around the insulation : P5 Poly Hi-Count
Outer Shell Outer: 100% Brushed Flannel with Envelope-Style Opening
Storage Bag : Taffeta Stuff Sack with Drawstring Closure
Dimensions Stored : 4" x 7" x 9"
Dimensions Unfolded : 12” x 18” x about 3”
Weight : .8lb
Colors : - Black and red flannel
Brown and red flannel
Yellow and green
Grey and red
Price : $18
Review Pros :
very comfortable - more comfortable than many down filled pillows that I have tested out that are much more expensive.
lightweight
Overall size is good
Fabric is very comfortable and feels good against the skin
handles being compressed very well - I’ve had this for 2 years, it has always been compressed and it is still comfortable
Fluffs up very good considering that it is a synthetic material
When folded in half, it offers a lot cushion
Works great in a tent and just as well in a hammock.
- Has done a great job of retaining its shape even after 2 years of use.
- Quiet - doesn’t make any noise when moving around and making adjustments. That’s not going to be the case with all camp pillows.
- Machine washable
- Price is good
- Lifetime warranty
- Storage bag is large enough for the pillow to fit back into it easily
Review Cons :
I mentioned that it isn’t heavy and that’s true but it is bulky
Will require as much care and maintenance as a real pillow. But you don’t have to worry about puncturing it and it going flat.
Some might complain about the size but it’s a camp pillow - it was designed with a balance in mind - size, weight, compressibility, etc.
Comfort - I only mentioned this as a con because of this - comfort is going to be subjective and this is especially true with a pillow. Some want an extra thick pillow, some want extra firm, or not as firm, softer etc. This is one of those items where some are going to love it and some are going to want something else.
Summary :
Overall, this is a great camp pillow; it’s not one that I always carry with me when I’m backpacking due to the larger stuff size but when I’m camping in the truck, in Bento or in the Van, this is what I am using.
The price is good, the size is good, comfortable especially when folded in half.
The overall size is an important aspect, consider the dimensions so you can decide whether or not it will work for you and your comfort needs.
I can easily give this a thumbs up, it’s a great pillow.

My workaround for a pillow is to pack a spare pillowcase, turn my jacket inside out and stuff it in the pillowcase.
Why did I not think of this hat off to you sir thanks 🙏🏻
This reminds me of the hotel pillows that I hate with a passion; I have to arrange 3 of them together to almost be useful. I just bring my pillow from home (of course, that does limit my trail camping, but so would a night of sleeping on a bad pillow at my age).
Again, I love your reviews. No bias, no sponsors. Just a straight forward review on the product and its pros and cons. I myself would probably like this for the car or in a tent.
They are a nice pillow, it is a little large in pack size but totally worth taking it for getting a good nights sleep, I currently use an airplane pillow I “borrowed” when I flew in business 😂
I’ve been using this pillow for 3 years, love it.
Always cool to see a product I've been using for years get a good review by a channel like this.
I have this pillow and its been on many camping trips! I absolutely LOVE IT!!! My one and only pillow for camping! Perfect! Even my dog loves it!
So my wife and I bought this pillow for our grandson's camping with the scouts adventures this summer which includes the upcoming National Jamboree in West Virginia. When he got home last night from his first week of summer camp he told us that pillow was the best thing he brought with him. Apparently the camp cot provided for him was not in very good shape, the pillow he said provided so much comfort to him he was able to sleep soundly despite the poor cot. Now I'm sure all the activities he was involved in had a lot to do with it too. Fact is, he loved that pillow! Thanks for the review, you made us look like smart grandparents! Thanks for what you do!
I have the whole Teton cot tent system and bought two of these pillows to go with. Great for car camping. The only thig I would change is to make the pillow slightly bigger.
I am thinking about buying one of these to take with me after watching this review. Thanks for sharing
Great to know about this camp pillow. Sounds good and at a fair price. Thanks.
Great review, gonna have to get one now
Just ordered 2 through your Amazon link. Thanks!
Hey Luke. I was able to buy 2 of those back at Christmas 2022, for myself and my wife. At Christmas we paid 9.99 each. We bought them at Sportsman W House in a Christmas grab barrel special. We enjoy ours for many of the same reasons that you mentioned. Lightweight and comfortable to sleep on.
I use this pillow for years & I honestly love it.
Just bought one last night after watching your review. Have a camping trip coming up with some buddies and this was perfect timing. The red and the grey plaid colors are on sale for 14.99!!! Thanks Luke!
I’ve had mine for a few years and it works great when I hammock camp. I have no problem with it being on the bulky side.
I’m a two pillow sleeper and I have that exact pillow (along with a sea to summit inflatable) and it is an excellent combo. I can use either under my head/ in my arms with great comfort. Makes a great combo. 👍🏻👍🏻 Here.
It looks very similar to the My Pillow Roll & Go. If the case is sewn the same way, you can roll the pillow up and tuck it inside of the short overflap on the case either for storage or to use as an extra firm pillow.
WRT bulk: if you put mine (thermarest) in a ruck on the bottom or even the side of the pack you can compress it to nearly nothing by packing stuff above it. It looks like that one would be the same if you just crushed it under other stuff in your pack.
When I was a young badass, I laughed at people that hiked with pillows and chairs. Now I don’t leave home without them!
Got one , love it 👍
Good choice, Luke! I absolutely LOVE my Teton Sports pillow! I have the same color too, LOL! I had Cocoon blow up backpacking pillows and sold them to get this one. It may be a few ounces more but the comfort is well worth the extra ounces, IMO!
Had one for years. Use it all the time and never travel without it. Super comfortable.
Got one, love it!
Used your link and ordered one, 15 bucks, itll be here tomorrow!
My tent and my sleeping bag are both Tetons, and I'd been considering getting this pillow. I do love this company and their products. I was just worried about the longevity of the loft, considering how cheap it is. So I'm very glad to hear it's still lofting after 2 years even with materials that justify an under 20 price tag. I think I'm about to go buy it right now :D
Great review , the pillow look comfortable thanks for sharing stay blessed
Great review. I camped in Joshua Tree Nat’l Park and used the Teton “GRAND Camp Pillow” (Even bigger) and it was HEAVENLY. Teton is a great brand!
These are great pillows. I have had mine for years now. Teton sports camp pillow 18” x 12”. I added an additional pillow cover open at both ends
Thanks for the review! The bulk is a bummer but I think it might be worth it. I have such a hard time sleeping with any kind of air pillow, even the Exped mega pillow didn't quite do the trick.
i have one and i love it. i also roll it up in my sleep system and stuff it into a compression sack for stowing.
excellent review thanks
Hi guys, yes, I do have the exact same pillow and I agree, very bulky!! However, like it said it does compress very well. Love it and make room for it!!😊
The cost is a big plus for me I have a thermarest pillow and was going to pick up a new one. But the cost is just stupid. I think I will pick up one of these. Thanks Luke.
I have one of these and looove it. I’m a tummy sleeper so I hug it. Great size.
Bought one last week. Love it. I don't bother with the inflatable pillow after using it. Super comfy and I don't have to fiddle with finding just the right level of inflation like the blow up. I highly recommend it
If you want the same thing but way less bulky, get the 'OZtrail Travel Pillow' - Still fluffy and packs down much smaller...
@@Funkteon True. $7.00 at "OZTrail". Of course it's an Australian product and they don't sell them in the USA or ship them so you have to fly to Australia to get one. Qantas has round-trip business class flights for $8,812.00. So adding the seven bucks for the pillow, it would cost you $8,819.00 for that pillow. I'm thinking the $18.00 for Luke's recommendation may be a better idea. But that's just me. : / 🙃
Appreciate the reviews, would u have a link for the green jacket u r wearing in video? Looks very comfy, and u sold me on the teton pillow, i have been waiting for right one. 👍
I have one I use with my Teton XXL cot sleeping pad and deer Hunter 0 degree in deer camp. I have sleep well in the entire set up the last 3 years. And everything has held up just fine
I have a few of those myself. They are great.
I bought to for my future adventures.
Nice weather ☁️
Nice place , peaceful quiet.
Sure bits City 🚦🚖 living.
Greetings from Brooklyn NY 😎
I’ve enjoyed mine! Simply having a pillow at camp is it’s own reward. And it takes up little space. Beats a bunched up sweater or jacket that’s for sure.
I'm a 2 pillow person. These are not great for backpacking but I take one anyway. I put my inflatable on my sleeping pad. It has a strap.that holds it in place. I put my Teton Sports pillow on top of that. I let a little air out of the inflatable and get an amazing night's sleep this way. I should mention that I am a side sleeper and this method works awesome for me. I call it my luxury item. Absolutely great pillow for the price!
Yes, I’m a two pillow person. You really notice when you put a wee bit too much air in your mattress. As soon as you lay on it, you know you’ve bobbed. 😅😮😊❤❤❤❤❤
i brought a thermarest pillow almost 30 years ago.the seams and shell have never needed mending despite lots of use and many washings. it has a pocket and drawstring with a toggle lock and you roll it up into the pocket then tighten the drawstring to store it. when unrolled it fluffs up in just a minute or less. and it is only now after 30 years having some of the stuffings breaking down a bit; but it is still perfectly usable. it was and is a great camping pillow. unfortunately i cannot remember the model.
I have that same pillow. Works amazing as it should.
I own this pillow and I got to say, I love it!
I bought this pillow to use with my Teton 0deg sleeping bag, the small size allows me to cinch the head drawstring on really cold nights. I agree it could be used as a travel pillow or just about anywhere.
I just purchased a Teton Sports sleeping bag. It's very comfortable and seems to be well made. Their customer service is incredible.
I got the same one nice pillow👍🏼
I have the smaller version of this one, just a bit bigger than my head. Also comfy, packs down but not as small as I would like for those trips when space is at a minimum, so I also have an inflatable one. I have several pieces of Teton gear and I really like all of it.
We love ours, we have 4. I got one to go backpacking then my wife stole it to use for our daughter in her car seat so I got another one and she stole that when our son came along then I just bought 2 more. We use them in combination with air pillows (we are side sleepers) the first one is about 7 years old and we get it mixed up with the 3 year old ones all the time, they hold up well. My only gripe is I wish it was thicker but I'm also 6'8 375 so nothing quite fits me hence using with air pillows for side sleeping.
Overall can't beat the quality to price ratio
Pillow thief... lol
Hi love your videos . I'm curious the fleece jacket you got on . I want one where from and how much any links ? Stay safe my friend
I concur. I too usually double it to side sleep.
Well done Teton!
My family has used a smaller version of this pillow for camping, and it's been consistently comfortable - especially in colder weather. Now that Teton Sports has upped its game, I'm going to have to get the larger size.
Mine is a few years old , i like small pillow and for me this is perfect .
I used to carry a pillow but traded it out for a camp chair. Don't miss it
It is crazy, I clicked the link for the pillow and all 4 colors were at $14.99 and a minute later, it went to $18 for 2 of the colors. I think anything that you find ok to great sells fast.....
Strength and honor. 💪
I've had one of these for years now, but I haven't used it in a while. I pulled it out after watching this video and noticed that the filling has become all lumpy. Going to leave it out for a few days to see if gets any better..
Great Pillow Perfect ♥️
Welp just ordered this. That buffalo plaid pattern had me sold 😂 i have a Klymit air pillow currently thats been awesome but I like options
I’m glad to see a company that takes care of their customers. I recently bought a rain jacket from Kuhl. It wetted out first trip in 15 mins. Their warranty dept told me to go away and offered a $30 coupon to buy more crap from them.
They have cool pictures on the Kuhl t-shirt
@@missingremote4388 Are they pictures of wxjunkie in his wet rain jacket? Just wondering.
Hows it compare comfort wise to the thermarest compressible cinch pillow? Love that it has a removable cover, storage bag, and no hard plastic bits. The thermarest pillow takes a while to loft up and is a little lumpy.
Hi Luke n Suzie Always enjoy ur channel stay safe God bless 👍
It would be fine for car camping. It's just too big to put in a pack for what it does. I fill a stuff sack with clothes I'm not wearing. Reminds me of a time I went on a backpacking trip with a friend of mine and all he brought was a pillow and sleeping bag which completely filled his pack. I carried the food, cooking utensils, tent plus my own sleeping bag. He had a nice, light pack anyway.
I have one and it is great for camping
Side sleeper here and I really like the thermarest pillows. Pricier, but super comfy. Not having a puffy pillow jacks my sleep up everytime. Can't do blow up pillows at all.
How does this handle in the laundry? For reasons of health I don't normally use home pillows longer than a year (if that) and that because even if they claim the pillow can be run through the wash they cant. On my cot I use a baby blanket wrapped around my heavy shirt and yes a baby blanket is a good size to drape over your knees when sitting around and your legs get the cold feels, or folded onto of my sitting mat keeps the backside warm too.
Try the high end of the camping market and get something like the hemiplanet ‘cave’ tent please
Ok u have to take a 3-month vacay because I am going broke
I can’t help but buy everything u give good reviews on if I think I could use it or my kids
Just got that big skymec stove, that chest rig, 3 sets of the Defense1 sleep bags with liners, then got the Tropen for even warmer weather…I haven’t done any tents but I’m about broke
So chill out please!
And everything u recommend is very good
That little round big stove is next
(And keep track of Carpathia in Germany as they are not selling to US now from Veerstuliquor…I was just about to get the Gortex shell for the Defesnce group but they halted shipments….I understand why but help me find another route or help keep an eye out for availability)
Great product... own 2 myself
I'm in lol I have a nylon backed pillow now and it just slides off the air mattress
Are u going to do more of those product reviews from the local stores.
I have a very similar one from a brand called Wise Owl which come in 3 sizes. These type of pillows are great for camping, yes they’re bulky compared to blow up ones but what’s good sleep worth?! The difference between a comfy sleep or not can be the difference between a good day or not. Good quality sleep is definitely an issue to consider…
Could you review some products from white duck outdoors, thanks !!
I've had this pillow for 3 years. Greatest pillow I've used while camping with Scouting. I still have the small blow-up pillows, but I won't use them, but keep them for others to use. Love my Teton Sport products.
Nice!
To counter the bulk, instead of using the stuff sack, I flat pack it at the bottom of my pack like a "floor" before any other gear goes in.
With that style pillow case you can leave the inner pillow at home and stuff the pillow case with spare clothes, down vest, etc. That would make it more backpacking friendly.
Luke what do you think about those inflatable tents.?
My Pillow of choice would be the Decathlon Ultim Comfort shape-memory pillow, also a lot easier to purchase on the other side of the pond.
Thanks!
I really appreciate the support!
More Adventures are coming soon.

My daughter purchased this pillow for me at Christmas. I haven’t used it yet but will be taking it on a backpack trip this Thursday. I’ll review it for you and share my thoughts. Thanks for reviewing it, Luke. 😎
So cute adorable ❤
I want to know if it gets wet how long will it dry out vs an air pillow? If it gets wet during day hike, will it dry out when I'm ready to crash out?
Thanks Luke...just bought it on Amazon $15.00
Lol, my husband and I debate pillows while hiking. I just use my dry bag stuffed with my puffy and extra clothes, which I carry anyway. He has a Trekology pillow.
The Z-packs stuff sack \ pillow it’s a good option.
Nothing beats the Thermarest pillow, I’ve tried them all
The best solution for packing is not the stuff sack, just use a thick large ziplog bag, put the pillow in and roll from the end and squeeze out all the air and seal. This will make it totally flat and stay flat inside any backpack.
That's such a great tip, thank you!
Missing A trick. The slot/ pocket in one end means you can fold the pillow over from where the closed end is and tuck it in. It massively reduces the size off the pillow when stored. Coleman did a pillow that folds that way and it's small 😉
I just bought myself the pomoly leo 2 hot tent quute impressive a bit on the heavy side but WoW ! ! Happy with it cant wait for snow and cold😂😂😂😂
I put the video on pause, then bought the red and black checkered pillow. Now that the brain tumor is finally gone I plan on putting a rooftop tent on my Jeep Cherokee, then have an adventure filled summer.
Can you use it with green eggs and ham ?
the pillow is probably the most important. the fact that the surface you lie on is a little hard and lumpy doesn't matter if you have a good pillow. have tried different types, the ones you blow up, they rarely stay under the head. I use something similar to what I have at home.
I'm actually in the market for a good pillow that I want to take on week long trip. Looks like you can get this pillow in Germany for around 60€. Which is roughly $66. Guess I'll check another pillow out instead..
Teton is a very intersting company. Their offering makes so much sense.
There are some bugs on their website though :)
The inflatable pillows.... have one, hate it. My neck aways hurt the next morning. The Thermarest packable foam pillow type is what I prefer, despite being bulky. A small compromise for pain free the next morning.
