I been using a Western Mountaineering down pillow that keeps disappearing under me every time I sit up or move . What's your best solution to this?
Thanks!

I'm partial to inflatable pillows. Montbell is my favorite because it keeps a flat, rectangular shape when inflated, not a round balloon shape. It has tie-outs for connecting it to the ridgeline.

+1 on inflatable pillows. I use one of those cheap inflatable neck pillows that you find in the airplane travel section of Wally World. I am a full timer and use that pillow every night. It stays in place and when I sleep on my side I turn the horseshoe pointing upwards to the head end of my hammock and it gives thicker support like a normal pillow. I usually keep mine about 2/3 inflated. It works great for hiking and camping too because it deflates for stowing and weighs very little.

I'm thinking something small, about 12"x16" and about an inch thick. I've tried bedroom pillows, couch pillows, chair pillows, coats, you name it, and they always end up on the ground or under my back. I might even find my sweet spot and velcro the darn thing down.
I use my platypus water bottles. Just fill them up 1/2 way with air and put them in a stuff sack... makes a great pillow.

My forum name is Fish<><; I'm in the navy; and I hate sleeping on the ground. If I didn't need ground to walk on or measure resistance to, I think I could happily give it up.
I use the same pillow mentioned by samsara & Fish in the same way.
