TREKOLOGY Ultralight Inflatable Camping Travel Pillow – ALUFT 2.0 Compressible, Compact, Comfortable, Ergonomic Inflating Pillows for Neck & Lumbar Support While Camp, Hiking, Backpacking

Easy to fill up, all night comfort
I recently purchased the TREKOLOGY Ultralight Inflatable Camping Travel Pillow, and it has quickly become an essential item in my camping gear. Filling it up is a breeze – the inflation process is quick and easy, requiring just a few breaths to achieve the desired firmness.The comfort it provides is remarkable, especially considering its ultralight design. I’ve used it for several days of camping, and it consistently delivers a good night’s sleep. The ergonomic design and soft fabric make it a pleasure to rest my head on after a day of outdoor adventures.What sets this pillow apart is its packability. It folds away neatly into a compact size, taking up minimal space in my backpack. This makes it incredibly convenient for backpacking trips where space is at a premium.

Great customer service
My pillow developed a leak after a few uses. Trekology replaced it for free, no questions asked. Pillow is also comfy, light, and packs small

Pillow Talk
First of all, my confessions: I’m a sleeping snob. Not a snob when I’m asleep, but a snob about my sleeping arrangements. I’ve lived in three countries and eight states; I’ve slept in a LOT of beds (I could tell you stories of bedbugs, mice, cockroaches, termites, bats, racoons, diesel fuel, stone pillows, worn out springs, protruding springs, no springs, short beds, beds so narrow that two people had to sleep in opposite directions to fit…you get the picture).Now at the beginning of my 7th decade, I’ve a routine I follow when I sleep. But the weak link in all of this is, you guessed it, since I am reviewing this item, the pillow.Long story short, the wife and I were planning a trip to Aruba last month and I knew I didn’t want to spend five nights on hotel pillows. Neither did I have room to take my home pillow. So…off to Amazon I went armed with my encyclopedic knowledge of my sleeping habits. After looking at a lot of ’em, I ordered this one in orange. Why orange? Who knows, except that I felt I needed a little excitement in my life. (I once observed my dad in the garage changing the oil in the car. Funny thing, he had all the oil cans, when oil still came in cans, upside down. I asked him about this and he replied with a sheepish grin, “Just needed a bit of excitement.”)I read some of the reviews and looked at the pictures and thought, “This just might work.” Plus, it was deflatable and weighed so little and wrapped up so compactly, that I ordered it.Fast forward to Aruba. I stripped one of the hotel pillows of its case, inflated my new pillow, put it in the case, and proceeded to get comfortable. Some of the reviews indicated that you might have to adjust the air volume to get it just the way you wanted it, and sure enough, after about three changes, I felt like I had it about right. And I slept well. For five nights.When I got home, yes, again you guessed it, I replaced my home pillow with this little slumber number. I’ve been sleeping on it since. It hasn’t lost air and gives me better support than other pillows.I don’t know how much more convincingly I can recommend this little orange pillow than to tell you I’m using it at home instead of using the others I own. I sleep better, I am master of its height and support, and its shape cradles my head unlike any other pillow I’ve used. Can’t beat that for $17.Now some notes. 1) There IS a learning curve to the valve. Press it one way and you inflate it. Press it the other and the valve opens and it deflates. I can’t help wondering if some of the reviewers that claimed it lost air hadn’t mastered the valve. Or maybe there’s a tiny hole in the pillow. Or maybe the valve’s defective. It happens. Personally, I haven’t noticed any change in volume since I blew it up the first night back from the Caribbean, so I think I’ve learned the valve technique.2) There is a better way to deflate it to get all but a few molecules of air out of it. Well…maybe all but a few more than a few. Open the valve and start from the opposite end by rolling it up tightly like an oversized straw. Then unroll it. Or not. You’ll get a flat-as-a-pancake, actually a flatter-than-a-pancake, (or an oversized straw) pillow that’ll slip into any ol’ place in your luggage.3) It IS smaller that regular pillows. So…if you’re a big pillow guy or gal, you probably won’t like it.4) I tried using it on the airplane coming back to the US, and it’s just not a plane pillow. I finally tried placing it on the seat back tray and laying down on it. But you know how little room we regular Joes and Joanns get in boarding group 5. It didn’t work. But, hey, it isn’t made to be a plane pillow, so I’m ok with that.I’ll sum it up. A good pillow, even if you only use it for camping or trips. A good price. A good structure for head support. It has some little dots on it that prevent it from sliding around if you don’t use a pillow case. It comes with a tote bag (though why you’d want to use it is beyond me when you can get it so flat when deflating) and a strap that I think is supposed to be wrapped around a sleeping bag to keep your pillow from moving at night on slippery fabric. I can adjust it however I want, so it isn’t a one-size-fits-all sort o’ thing.And, oh, it’s orange; but the teal’s nice, too.

Convenient but Not Quite Comfortable
I appreciate how easy this pillow is to inflate and deflate, which makes it incredibly convenient for travel. Its compact size makes storage a breeze, fitting neatly into any bag or luggage.However, I have mixed feelings about its comfort. While the outer material is soft and pleasantly coated, preventing that typical plastic balloon feel, I found the overall comfort lacking when lying on it. It didn’t quite provide the support or cushioning I expected.In summary, it’s a great option for its portability and ease of use, but if comfort is your priority for extended use, you might want to explore other options.

Fantastic sturdy booster seat equivalent. Easy to pack, literally size of coke can, blows up within 30 seconds and has grippy underside to prevent it moving around. I imagine it would also be great for us intended purpose of a pillow 😂. Great quality item.

Il cuscino è leggerissimo e comodissimo, si sgonfia e si gonfia in un attimo e la fascia elastica per fissarlo al tappetino è una gran comodità. Lo riprenderei di certo, anche in considerazione dell’ottimo prezzo.
