Pillow, yea or nay

[hewittdallas]

Looks like I might have to give Jared's pillow a try after all of these comments...

Bed pillows really crank my neck, but I love having a very thin pillow. My favorites... A neatly folded T-shirt, a lightweight down vest, Dutch's folding sit pad.

It's a neck pillow for me. I've been using one of these DIY HAMMOCK PILLOWS for a couple of years now, both camping and at home, I sleep about 1/2 time in a hammock, so it's reasonably durable and reasonably packable.

It depends on the time of year. I've found that in the summer I need a pillow because I don't have any extra clothes besides dry sleep clothes and sweaty walking clothes. During those times, I love my HG down pillow. The rest of the year, I either have my puffy jacket, my fleece, or both, so there's something to act as a pillow. I use less under my head, and more under my neck and side of the head to keep my head from lolling all over the place.

I made a small pillow, actually mine is a stuff sack technically, and put three layers of synthetic batting in it. Seems to work great! Made one for my wife first but she wanted it sewn shut so I made her a new one and took the old one. The draw string and toggle don't bother me at all. I fold it in half to prop up to read.

At the present time I use a AHE bear pillow and I attach the shock cord to a dog bone from end of my hammock. It is always easy to find when I get in and it is very comfortable. I have used the an rei down pillow and thermorest travel pillow medium and seem to always go back to the AHE

Only need something under my neck really, or when it gets colder... a PillowHat™

Lol. "Your need to talk to a fashionable youth or your neighborhood Rastafarian".

I believe Andrew from Adventure Archives uses some sort of goofy drawstring bag/hat for his pillow.

He brings up a good point though. Almost anything extra with me will work as a pillow, the annoying thing is having it constantly disapear when I get up to water the tree. I'm looking forward to getting around to finishing my pillow kit if for no other reason than it will have a shock cord leash on it.

I have a Arrowhead Equipment Bear pillow that is well worth its weight in my pack. I position it at my shoulders so my head can extend back, opening my airway. After my underquilt, my AHE Bear Pillow is my most valuable aid to sleeping comfortably in my hammock.

I also use the AHE Bear pillow and love it
