From the manufacturer

Two people hold up their therm-a-rest compressible pillows and smile at one another in a tent

Therm-a-Rest

Our founders' mission was simple: create a better way to sleep outside; because when you rest better, you play better. Their ingenuity and vision back in 1972 led to the creation of the first self-inflating sleeping pad.

Today, we’re still working towards the same mission to craft the best sleeping pads and bags on the market. We’re not just giving explorers a better way to camp, we’re giving them better adventures tomorrow.

Our popular Compressible Pillow is perfect for everyone from international travelers to car campers. The pillow foam is sourced from upcycled foam from our pad manufacturing and the cover is made from ultra-soft polyester made from mostly recycled materials. Its soft foam filling packs small and expands big, with the XL size measuring a generous 16.5 x 27 in. (42 x 67 cm) for home-like comfort wherever you are.

Product Description

The Therm-a-Rest Compressible Travel Pillow is a true travel essential. Ideal for anyone seeking sleep and comfort on-the-go, it offers all the support of home bedding in a small, convenient, and lightweight package for camping, plane travel, car trips, backpacking, trekking, and festivals. Easily compressible for packing into a backpack, duffel, suitcase, or tote, the pillow expands into a 4-inch thick, soft and squishy pillow for head, neck, and back support. The brushed polyester cover is soft against skin for cozy comfort, promising sleep and relaxation in places where getting a little shut-eye can be a challenge. Rest comes even easier knowing that the lofty urethane filling is upcycled—the byproduct of Thermarest mattresses, utilizing the waste generated during production. The Therm-a-Rest Compressible Travel Pillow is available in four sizes: Small measures 12x16x4 inches expanded, 13x4x4 inches compressed, and weighs 7 ounces; Medium measures 14x18x4 inches expanded, 14x5x6 inches compressed, and weighs 9 ounces; Large measures 16x23x4 inches expanded, 16x7x7 inches compressed, and weighs 12 ounces; XL measures 16.5x27x4 inches expanded, 18x7x7 inches compressed, and weighs 15 ounces. Before use, shake and fluff pillow to restore loft. For maximum loft, machine wash and tumble dry. Made in the USA.

The perfect packable pillow

The perfect packable pillow
I am the type of person when I travel I always take my own pillow and a blanket. If I am going to be stuck in a car or whatever for an extended period of time I want to be comfortable. Also when getting to the destination I would rather rest my head on my own pillow instead of one in the hotel. I have used other types of pillows before when traveling. The traditional pillow and the typical neck pillows. While traditional pillows are comfortable they aren't really practical for travel. And the neck pillows while practical for travel they aren't particularly comfortable. So in comes this therm-a-rest compressible pillow. I have to say I am a fan of this pillow. It works well and it's surprisingly comfortable and it stores inside itself.The pillow itself is a microfiber soft exterior on one side and typical soft cloth on the opposite. It does come in various sizes. Inside the pillow is memory foam but it's not a solid piece. The foam inside is cut up into small pieces. I am assuming rectangular pieces. I thought that if they were cut into pieces that it would sacrifice comfort well it doesn't. The foam expands and fills up the pillow nicely. It's very comfortable and I had no trouble sleeping throughout the night.The only downside I had experienced with this pillow was that they suggest before first initial use to wash it so the foam expands fully. Now what they don't tell you that when you do wash it is that the foam inside retains the moisture. It took forever for the pillow to fully dry. I ran it through the dryer several times and when inwiukd compress it down to store it inside itself it would still be damp.So quick recap:Pros:Ultra portableStores within itselfComfortableCons:Retains moisture when washing making it take forever to dry.So that's it it's a great travel pillow that's comfortable, easy to pack up and doesn't take up much room.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great comfortable pillow
Reviewed in Canada on March 31, 2022
My purchasing criteria for travel/car camping pillow:
- Support for a side sleeper
- Soft and fluffy comfort to rest your head on
- Packable for travel (mainly car camping)

The Therm-a-Rest is a great pillow for a side sleeper and super comfortable. You do need to allow it time (4 hours or more) to expand to its maximum loft if it was left in its packed form for a long time. At first the lumpy foam material may feel weird on touch but once you rest on it you will only experience great comfort and you get reminded of how soft and fluffy it is. The packed size is about 1/4 of the fully expanded size so it is great for car camping but It may not be the best backpacking pillow when compared to a Nemo Fillo Luxury Camping pillow but the Nemo pillow cannot achieve the loft required for a side sleeper and it is still an inflatable pillow (with a memory foam topper) while the Therm-a-Rest feels just like your regular house pillow. Just check out the amazing loft you get from the Therm-a-Rest pillow. My family loved it so much, I end up buying another one.
