Excellent quality. This is a durable pillow. Good neck support. Just the right size. Feels good on my skin. Quick deflation by just the push of a button. I used on a flight to Europe and was able to sleep in comfort for most of the long flight. Adjustable firmness just by letting a little air out.

I especially like the strap that goes over the sleeping pad. Great product!

Bara blåst upp hittills. Håller luft bra. Packas ner i väldigt litet format. Bra med rem att sätta fast med på liggunderlag.

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.

Ventilen är väldigt bra.
Inte svår att få ner i påsen igen när man tömt ur luften, men en smartare lösning är nog att rulla in den med en filt eller sovsäck än att låta “en boll” ta plats i ryggsäcken.

I got this pillow for backpacking/camping, and it has been everything I hoped it would be. I’ve taken it car camping and backpacking. It is durable, comfortable, easy to inflate with only four breaths, and is easy to deflate and pack up. So far, after six camping trips, mine hasn’t had any leaks. I like that it has rubber dimples on one side to minimize the pillow slipping around while sleeping. I also discovered that it fits perfectly in the hood portion of my sleeping bag. When I draw the string on my bag, my pillow stays put. The valve is great, too. It inflates without losing air, and it has that feature where you can gently press the valve button to deflate it to get your comfort level.

My most recent trip was backpacking in the Ozark Trail. It really does fit in the palm of your hand, is four ounces, and packs up very well. I liked it so much, I ordered a second one to use as a wedge between my legs when I sleep. At home I use a foam wedge between my knees when I sleep to help with hip pain because I’m a side sleeper and getting on in years. When I camp, I get hip pain because I don’t have my wedge. Now, with the trekology pillow, no more hip pain!

Edit: I forgot to add the most important part from my original post: comfort! One thing to consider is that this is NOT your comfy home pillow. Once I got that out of my head, it only took a couple of nights to get used to it. I get an excellent nights’ sleep with this pillow. I won’t go backpacking without it.

Tar lite plats och skön att ligga på.
