    I have the cub, and it does fine. But sometimes I wish I had the bear.
    I'd rather be hanging.

    The Cub and the Bear are the original hammock pillows. They were the first to be made with hammock camping in mind and I still have the original Cub that I made for myself before Arrowhead was even an idea. The Cub is intended to be the right size for neck support, if on your back lay it flat like any other pillow and let the hammock support your head while the Cub hold your neck. On your side turn the Cub on edge to get up that extra support under your neck again. The Bear is for those folks that want something more like your home pillow but without the extra size to pack. I prefer the Cub for gathered end hammocks and the Bear for my RR.

    That's actually where the idea came from. I own one of those Grand Trunk pillows also. It is very nice. The only difference is that I ran my channel around the inside of the pillow instead of on the inside of it.
    Two heads are good, three are great, but all heads at hammockforums is the best case scenario!

    It does most definitely pack smaller. The one I made out of climashield and ripstop packs down pretty small.
    First pic is it beside the Grand Trunk pillow. Second is it in a stuff sack beside some different objects for reference.
