Pillow

I use the Nemo Fillo. It has a 1-inch foam layer and a blow-up air part. (And an elastic cord on the back that you can put a shirt or something in if you want it even thicker, though I don't think you'd ever need that in a hammock; I don't even blow it up all the way in the hammock.) Soft microsuede cover that's removable and washable. And it packs down pretty small. Love it!

I use a Nemo. It has air baffles + memory foam. The baffle direction is perfect for the conntour of the hrammock. Just a little air needed. It compresses into attached stuff sack. Goes real small. Has stretch cord on back to add jacket ect. for hight. Front covered in fleece.

I use a down pillow from underground quilts. Before I had used nothing, but now that I've tried it with the down pillow of keeper cord, I love it.

How compact are those pillows when stuffed in the sac?

I have a Wiggys pillow that came with a sleeping bag - very comfy and firm, but too much volume to carry.

The Cub is about the size of a energy drink can. The Bear would fit inside a 1 litter Nalgeen bottle if the mouth of the bottle did not choke down...aka it's about a litter in volume.

The cub makes a great neck pillow while the bear is more of a compact camping pillow. My preference is the cub in a gathered end as I just need a little something to keep my neck from feeling hyperextended with the hammock supporting my head. The bear is my preference though in a bridge like the RidgeRunner where you don't have that curve of the hammock for the extra support.

I use a Thermarest Compressible Pillow (size small). It weighs 7.39 oz or 210 g ... well worth the weight for me.

That's funny, we just had this talk a little over a month ago.

I like a fleece covered inflatable pillow that came with a fleece blanket as a travel pack. I don't use this blanket as it's too small.

Just 1 breath of air is all I use. Let the air out and fold in half to put away. It takes almost no space and very lite.

Lots of great suggestions here. I grabbed one of these from MEC: http://www.mec.ca/product/5023-542/m...10+50130+50665

It works really well if left mostly deflated. Soft, insulated, and has silicone grips on the bottom which work well to keep it still while you sleep

Edit: it is worth mentioning that the contoured shape works well in a gathered end as well. Great neck support.
