    I use a FlexAir Pillow (around $2 and available at lots of places), weight= 0.56oz. Although I bought a few figuring that they wouldn't hold up, I'm still using the same (slightly grimy) one. Perfect, when slightly under-inflated, for under the neck and lower head in a hammock.

    Great balls of fire, those pillows are expensive, I had no idea! I need just a little bit of one, The official DIY Rag Bag, a piece of pillow case stuffed with pieces of something (forget what) that I can punch and whack around until its just right. The socks and underwear in a kind of loose flat sack sort of thing.

    Free wine

    Buy a 5liter box of wine. When it is empty, the bladder makes a great pillow.I also useine as a seat vision and camp water bag. Weighs almost nothing and I can get something I really need with the cash.

    Interested to read this thread, since I'm gearing up for summer. I am a side sleepers with broad shoulders and sleep with two stacked pillows at home, so I'm wondering if any of these pillows are thick enough.

    Last summer when car camping I used one regular bed pillow in my hammock and it seemed to work OK. But that was the first time I ever spent the night in a hammock, so I'm sure there are lots of refinements to make....

    Arrowhead Eq. Snoring Bear pillow fits me perfectly. I've tried several different ones over the years but I quit looking when I got this one.

    Can't vote on this one, as I use my own DIY pillow. Piece of fleece sewn into a pillow shape with some synthetic filling.
    Otherwise I just roll up a jacket or something into a stuff sack.
