If comfort comes before pack-ability, the Compressible Pillow by Therm-a-Rest is the perfect pillow for any of your camping adventures. I personally prefer the Compressible Pillow to any air-filled pillow because I find that it is more comfortable and more like my pillow at home. While it may take up a little bit more space in my pack, it’s definitely worth it.
The Compressible Pillow is actually filled with foam that is upcycled from the Therm-a-Rest factory. Basically they are taking excess materials and instead of throwing them away, they are making them into a soft little place for you to lay your head. It is surprising to me how much the foam actually compresses and in turn builds loft after being compressed.
This pillow rolls down to about a ¼ of its size and is very easy to pack. Simply roll the pillow while compressing and roll it into the pouch at the bottom of the pillow. Pull the cord and tighten down.
I find the size small is the perfect size for camping and fitting into my sleeping bag. Therm-a-Rest offers sizes S-XL so you can be sure to get the best size for your application. As well as camping, these would be perfect for travel on a plane, train, or road tripping with the family. They are so similar to home pillows, but can take up far less space when packed when you need it most.
The Compressible Pillow is the icing on top of my sleep-system cake. It can make or break a comfortable night out in the wilderness and in my opinion, the extra space is worth the loft of the pillow. Be sure to check out the rest of my sleep system including the Questar HD Sleeping bag and Trail King SV Sleeping pad. Stay warm and comfortable sleeping outside with Therm-a-Rest!

Thank you so much for this review. I have tried the blow up pillows and filling my clothes sack and just haven't gotten a good night sleep. When it comes to sleeping, comfort is paramount. I'll take the weight hit for this.
I agree with you Kamper. The Compressible Pillow is a heck of a lot more comfortable then a stuff sack full of clothes.
I purchased the large pillow and LOVE IT!!! You can not go wrong with this pillow.
Megan Leigh Thanks for watching and appreciate your input Megan!
I find it very useful when two or more sizes of the same product is compared side by side. Thanks.
Glad this was helpful for you. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks for holding them up side by side. I nearly bought a large but think I can get by with a smaller one.
You bet! It's hard to know when you're just looking at a photo online. Thanks for watching!
I've had the medium for five years now. It's smaller than I like for a nightly sleep and for car camping I've went back to using my nice shredded memory foam from home which is very comfortable. The therm-a-rest now is my hammock pillow which it does a great job at.
Thanks for watching Croaker!
I think I will buy one of these. I agree that air pillows are not comfortable.
I think you'll really like it.
Then you need to try the sea to summit aeros. I have the thermarest pillow and it fails compare to the aeros.
Solid review; thank you! Great to see different sizes side-by-side
Thank you for watching!
I have the large size pillow, and i love it, maybe its a bit heavier and bigger than an inflated pillow, but worth it because its very comfortable and it is one thing that i will sacrifice some more space in my rucksack for a comfort sleep at night.
Kostas Bouzianis I completely agree Kostas. Thanks for watching.
I've taken a sea to summit with me to glacier and the Tetons and while yeah, it's light and tiny, it crushes my damn ears. Think I'm gonna try this!
Definitely worth a try.
Not super ultralight(as my Sea to sumit air pillow) but much more compfortable!!! Thank you for your video.
Thanks for watching Erik! Totally agree but for me the trade-off is worth it for the comfort!
My usual go to is the aeros pillow. recently I found a 2 pack pillow that's same quality but half the price as aeros only larger from The Big Blue Mtn. Been meaning to try this therm a rest pillow too.
There are definitely a lot of great ones out there to try.
I went to REI and tried all the pillows, this one was my favorite. I found NEMO and exped to have the most comfortable air beds
You'll love it!
Great review, love that you site specs, give examples and give your honest opinion.
john doe Appreciate you watching John!
Cant find in cardinal red anymore, dont think they make this mode any more :(
This is an old video, however they are still making this pillow!! Just different colors.
Good reviews! Just finished a BWCA trip with Casey McDowell and he told me to check out your channel. I've tried a lot of the air pillows as well and don't find them that comfortable, I'll have to check this one out.
Thanks! And consider yourself lucky to be able to go to the BWCA with a guy as great as Casey. And definitely give this pillow a try.
Great review. No extraneous chatter, Really gave me a feel for size, much better than static pillows. I'll remember you on my 22 hour ride to Thailand. SOLD.
i meant better than static PICTURES.
Thanks for watching and have fun in Thailand!!
all in just bought one after watching the only that has been stopping me was the size actually the small is perfect
Blake Hamilton Awesome Blake enjoy!
I am using the Nemo fillo pillow with Thermarest collapsible pillow every night in my Tent and I am a sidesleeper
Awesome glad it's working out for you! Thanks for watching.
Indeed the best comfy pillow! bit more bulky and heavy but..... so much better :)
Agreed!
Nice review. I ordered one for a mountain hut trekking trip in Austria.
Thanks for watching and I think you'll really like it!
You guys have reviewed both the compressible pillow and the down pillow. I'm trying to decide between the two, which do you prefer?
We both prefer the down as it's just a little more comfortable to us.
Hey I have one of those, but was thinking buying another one and then connect the 2 together.
Have you tried it?
We have not tried that!
It’s 4” thick, how much does it drop after you lay on it?
Maybe 2”?
Thanks!
Thank you for watching!
Nice review! How is the pillow holding up...loft and comfort? Have been looking at this or the NEMO Fillo.
Hi Dave. The pillow is still great and we've used it a ton. Still feels like it did when it was new.
Good shit. Just ordered two of them. Much thanks!
You'll love them!
@@AdventureRig 🤟
@@AdventureRig if you get a chance...checkout my other UA-cam channel, The Michigan Phoenix. Thanks again for the review!
I like your pillow talk.
Haha thanks for watching Paul.
@@AdventureRig I actually much prefer a big bag o' damp rocks for my pillow. Hardcore all the way.
@@paulsmith3266 I would say so!
Thank you!
You bet!
Would this pillow support side sleeping ?
Absolutely, we're both side sleepers.
Awesome review. Thanks!
Thank you for watching!

What tent is that?
It's this tent www.adventurerig.com/review-the-elixir-3-tent-by-msr/
Can this pillow kept compressed when storing it? Or should it be stored uncompressed? I recently got one and worried that it will lose its loft.
Thanks
Adventures With Becket & Xena You bring up a great point. I treat them like a sleeping bag and store them uncompressed.
@@AdventureRig Thanks for the quick reply. I will continue to store mine that way.
Adventures With Becket & Xena Thanks for watching!
it weighs 7 ounces? what is it a prehistoric video?
Martin Juřík Thanks for watching Martin!
Whats the name of the tent?

I just bought the small one today
Great! I think you'll love it.
Sold👍🏽
Megan Shdleif Enjoy!!
Considering you have a lengthy product description and a link to the product I'd assume this is an Ad and not a review.
Thanks for watching Random. The product was given to us so we could review it and give our personal opinion and thoughts on it. Definitely not an ad.
How do you get it that fluffy. Mine (L) donen't even get close to that kind of loft..
Do you store it compressed? If so, try letting it sit uncompressed for a while before sleeping on it.
Thanks for the quick reply :)
It's brand new but have been lying unfolded for a 3-4 hours now.. Did you wash/dry it at first or did it just gain loft over time?
Of course! Hmm... 3-4 hours should definitely do the trick. I have never washed it it just gained loft when I laid it out. If it is totally laid out and flat like a pancake, I would maybe try and give the company a call tomorrow. Doesn't seem right!
Thanks. I'll see what happens :)
Anytime! Good luck.
Glad it is butt comfortable....
Thanks for watching.
@@AdventureRig I know it was just a play on words. I couldn’t resist. Great video, and the size comparison really helped!
Cool
Thanks Tran
This pillow is great because it’s comfy and made in the USA, NOT China.
Definitely!
I hate those inflatable pillows. This looks so much better
This is a great option if you don't like the inflatable pillows.
next time in metric system thx
Ljóðaháttr Haha I don’t know the metric system. You’ll have to do the conversion.
