I've been using my synthetic-fill insulated jacket in an REI stuff stack pillow case for the past year. Stuff sack pillow case weighs in at 3.45 oz, and it doubles as a stuff sack for my down sleeping bag.

I need something under my head and neck. I tried a lot of things... clothes in a stuff sack, Black rock pillow, etc and none of it was quite what I was looking for. I tried the Cub pillow from AHE but it was too small for my taste. The AHE Bear pillow was just right. I've been using it for several years now.Originally Posted by pgibson
Always fun to watch these pillow threads and see how many folks have one of our pillows or a pillow based on the Cub.

I bring my Mackinac Bridge on most trips now so I usually bring a Thermarest Compressible Pillow (small). I'm so used to packing it that it usually ends up in the pack even when I bring a gathered-end hammock.
My REI Co-op vest, when folded into the pocket, is the perfect pillow. I bring it with me for an extra layer when i get to camp, no need to wear it when sleeping, so to the pillow it goes!
Before this, i was ready to steal shug's idea about the JRB sleeves in the neck pillow case.

I use my cheap 32 degree down pack able coat as a pillow - works great for me

I just received my pillow from Dutch. Well, I take that back...my wife just received her pillow. I ordered it for her to try. I'll post her feedback as soon as I can, but our hammocks are getting some zipper treatment at 2QZQ at the moment.
I've never used a pillow, but I might try it out.

I normally just throw some clothes into a stuff sack for a pillow to save on space and weight. Seems to work fine for me but I have been out with guys who refuse to sleep without a pillow. All personal preference
I use a mini-pillow from Wal-mart in a HyperD 1.0 stuff sack when I'm car or backyard camping. When I'm backpacking I use the same stuff sack, but fill it up with whatever clothes I have on hand. My UQ is 7/8 and my strategy so far is to shade it towards covering my feet which leaves me exposed from the neck up, and a pillow rectifies that nicely.
