UPDATE 4/19/2021: Purchased second Pillow Added two stars and added another WELLAX to my camping KIT Bag now I have one for bugout bag and one for camping etc. As pesky as I thought the VALVE was going to be over time I adjusted and with the compact pillow size it is easy to get all the air out with just a little practice. This pillow is very comfortable, much like my chiropractic pillow I use at home, easy to keep your head on while in your tent and I now bought another and recommend it to…

Pros
  • Polyester
Cons
  • Limited color options to choose from

Lightweight, quality fabric, nice design.

I was very happy upon receiving this pillow! I got it for my boyfriend for Christmas, we camp and backpack and I wanted to see what the lower priced items were like for quality, worst case scenario you spend $11, right? Well this thing is awesome! It takes me a few breathes to inflate, is sturdy, and the fabric is soft and not at all irritating. I always worry about the seams being scratchy or sharp, nope! This pillow is soft all around and fits perfectly inside the hood of a mummy sleeping…

Pros
  • Affordable and a great investment for any camping enthusiast
Cons
  • May not be suitable for taller people

Best inflatable I've tried so far

Throughout my years of ultralight camping I've gone through several inflatable pillows, and all have had some deal-breaking shortcomings until I came across this one. It's like the story of the three bears - too small, too hard - but this one is just right. In the past I've always felt compelled to pair my small inflatable with a thermarest compressible pillow, in order to provide adequate softness and loft, but it never quite worked and I had some poor nights sleep out on the trail as a…

Pros
  • Sleeping Bags & Camp Bedding
Cons
  • The pillow may not hold its shape well over time

Worked beautifully, loved the sleeping mask!

I really liked the inflatable pillow, because it rolled up so small for packing, and the cradle shape of it was nice to sleep on. My younger son especially liked the sleep mask that came with it. My older son is a side-sleeper and has broad shoulders, and would have liked it better if the pillow had a way to become taller/thicker in that position. Maybe a future improvement would be a second air bladder to optionally inflate? All in all, I was very pleased with the purchase, and would order…

Pros
  • PERFECT GIFT CHOICE: What better than giving the gift of an amazing adventure to your friends and family? Give one of these small pillows for travel to each member of your family and enjoy a luxurious camping trip together.
Cons
  • Packing the pillow may take up valuable space in a backpack

Great Investment for Backpackers!

I love this pillow! I'm an avid-backpacker and for years I have been doing my trips without a small pillow. For my most recent backpacking trip in the Adirondacks, I decided I was going to add a little luxury with the hopes of sleeping better. This purchase was one of the best gear items I have ever bought.no joke! The WELLAX Ultralight Camping Pillow is small and lightweight, so it's not even noticeable in my pack. Best of all though, the sleep I got on this trip with my new pillow was the…

Pros
  • Easy to clean and maintain for long-term use
Cons
  • May not be suitable for those who camp in wet conditions

Quality, comfortable and good price point

I ride a motorcycle with my wife as passenger. We like to camp when traveling and lightweight, compact and comfortable gear are important. I already have and use pillow's( that are a uniquely different design) from another name brand company that just aren't working out for either of us. I bought another set of pillow's (that are similar in design as the chillax) from another name brand company, but haven't had a chance to use them in the field yet. While looking at a review on some other gear…

Pros
  • Comes with a drawstring bag for easy storage and transportation
Cons
  • May not hold air as long as expected

I am very disappointed.

I am not one to write reviews, but after a few uses, it began to lose air, I expected a different quality of product. I am very disappointed.

Pros
  • Sports & Outdoors
Cons
  • Inflating the pillow may not be easy for everyone

Doesn't stay inflated

I like the pillow. It is a good value- or would be if it stayed inflated. This has been the case since the beginning. I think it might be because the cap doesn't stay closed. I keep meaning to see if I can do something about it, like add silicone, but I just haven't.I know lots of people have their method for keeping the pillow in place, but I slide a t-shirt (or any shirt) over the top of my sleeping pad and then slide the pillow inside. It works so well. I often augment with my puffy from…

Pros
  • Can be used as a cushion for watching outdoor events such as concerts or sports games
Cons
  • May not be suitable for those who require a pillow with cooling properties

Versatile, great for travel or camping

I have been using this pillow for over a year now and it has become one of my travel essentials. I bring it on flights to use as an all purpose cushion/pillow. Recently, I was dreading a 4 hour flight home because I had experienced some severe knee pain while sitting through a Broadway show and I was expecting more of the same. I partially filled this pillow, put it under my knee and I was able to fly home without any discomfort! I have also used it on international flights to provide back…

Pros
  • Perfect for those who suffer from allergies to traditional camping pillows
Cons
  • May not be as soft as expected

Great Travel Pillow

This exceeded my expectations. This comes in a small bag roughly the size of a can of soda. The pillow is easy to inflate within 3-5 breaths. The inflating/deflating mechanism holds the air in well so you don't have to scamble to seal while air is leaking out. The deflating process is quick and easy. I found the shape of the pillow comfortable. This is a great travel pillow and would work great at the beach as it could be rinsed off if needed.

Pros
  • Can be inflated in under a minute for quick setup and takedown
Cons
  • May not be suitable for those with a latex allergy

Perfect Solution for Camping and Unsupportive Hotel Pillows

I purchased the pillow two years ago for a camping trip and have found myself using it frequently since. The pillow inflates easily and packs up tightly. It's easy to adjust the firmness. The product is strong and durabl

Pros
  • Can be adjusted to different levels of firmness for personalized comfort
Cons
  • May not provide enough cushioning for some

A solid purchase! - my new review

I ordered this pillow knowing that I will be camping often this summer. I like how the pillow is compact, just as the picture portrays. The mask is an added bonus and will come in handy. When I opened the packaging I was pleasantly surprised to find that the pillow is brighter in color than the one in the picture. I'm loving the mouth piece for the reasons that you don't have any parts to pull out and mess with, all you do is place your mouth flush with the piece and with little exertion the…

Pros
  • Lightweight and practical for traveling
Cons
  • May not be suitable for those who sweat excessively during sleep

Good inflatable pillow although slippery to grab with one hand.

Although said to be non-slippery, the pillow is not easy to grab with one hand. There are no operating instructions included (think goodness the product description discussed this on Revain). I was concerned with the pillow's side seam, which sticks out 3/16th of an inch from the side of the pillow all the way around, and whether it would scratch your neck .Used the pillow for a night's sleep. It didn't seem to slide around in bed, just slip out of your hand if you wanted to adjust it. I didn't

Pros
  • Saves space in camping gear for other necessities
Cons
  • May not be suitable for those who prefer a larger pillow

Excellent Backpacking Companion

I was a little intimidated by all the choices when I recently went to buy a inflatable pillow to accompany me on a 25 mile backpacking trip. I went with the Wellax as it was ultralight and had positive reviews. This was super easy to inflate, which was appreciated after a long day of hiking in 95 degree weather. It was easy to adjust the level of inflation when I went to bed and realized it was a little too firm for my liking. It held up well during my trip and is easy and convenient to store…

Pros
  • EASY TO USE: Twist open the cap, and blow! The valve is specially designed so your pillow inflates in 2-3 breaths. The valve also seals tight so no air leaks out while you're resting your head on this backpacking pillows ultralight. Very easy to clean
Cons
  • May not be as comfortable as a traditional pillow
