review
"Easy to use and as comfortable as described"
"Perfect companion for my hammock, which travels with me on my bike and kayak. Very comfortable. Can adjust air for situation, whether hammock, camping, hiking or driving. I like it!"
"I love having a pillow that is adjustable in height and fits into the tiny pocket that is the head of my sleeping bag! I have another lightweight backpacking pillow that is rectangular and while it's comfortable, it just doesn't fit into the head space of my bag. This one fits wonderfully and makes for a much better sleep system." -
what we think
A real upgrade from the usual scrunched-up jacket or stuff sack of clothes, the Therm-a-Rest Air Head Pillow offers an excellent balance of comfort, support and packability. Its contoured shape cradles your head well, and the soft brushed polyester cover gives it a cosy feel that avoids the usual plasticky or cold sensation common with inflatable pillows.
Dan, our in-house gear expert, and Ash Routen, one of our brand ambassadors, tested this pillow during their Arctic expedition across Finland’s frozen Lake Inari. After long days pulling pulks in sub-zero temperatures, this bit of comfort made all the difference in helping them rest and recover. With its compact packed size and effective insulation from the cold, it proved its worth in some seriously demanding conditions.
If you're looking to improve your sleep setup without adding much weight or bulk, the Air Head is a smart, tried-and-tested choice. -
