Zpacks Inflatable Pillow
10 reviewsPillow was lightweight and perfect height. A good option for a lightweight pillow.
– Linda M., ★★★★★
Relax after a long day of adventure with our inflatable pillow. Designed for ultralight hikers looking to save weight without compromising comfort, our pillow inflates with only a breath or two and features a comfortable crescent shape perfect for back and side sleepers alike.
*This Item is Non-Returnable if Removed from Packaging*
- Constructed with a durable ultralight polyester and featuring welded seams, the pillow is extremely durable, packs down small, and weighs next to nothing.
- The pillow features a crescent shape which allows it to stay centered when sleeping, regardless of if you’re a side sleeper or sleep on your back.
- The recessed baffles on the top of the pillow create contours which cradle your head when you sleep.
- A flat valve on the bottom of the pillow allows you too quickly and easily inflate or deflate the pillow; allowing you to dial it in for the perfect nights sleep.
- An optional Attachment Cord can be purchased with the pillow and allows you to attach the pillow to your sleeping pad to prevent it from shifting throughout the night.
- Pro Tip: Wrap one of our Neck Gaiters around the pillow for some added comfort and warm.
- All Zpacks gear has a two year limited warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. Please see our return / warranty policy.
- Made in the USA.
Inflated Dimensions: 10" x 14" x 3.5" (25.4 x 35.6 x 9 cm)

Not comfortable at all
I’ve appreciated almost all zpacks gear but this pillow is definitely not on the list. It’s very slippery, popping out of both my sleeping bag mummy hood and also off my pad when attached there. The little rubberband-like loop did not secure it reliably at all. The pillow material is also not pleasant to have on your face when side sleeping- it has zero softness or give. I ended up going back to the old “clothes bag” method which was far more comfortable (and no added weight). A good night’s sleep is critical for me, especially on long trips, so I’d rather add a few grams and have something comfortable.

Don’t get this unless austerity and frustration are in your sweet dreams.

Lightweight
Functions just as well as any other pillow the difference is this is the lightest pillow I have ever seen and the little stuff sack for it makes it easy to fit the pillow in.

Pillow Great but attachment cord too short
Weight lighter than my previous pillow. Thickness was right. Stretching a neck gaiter over it was a great idea and worked well. Only problem was the attachment cord is too short to go around air mattress. Attachment cord is a great idea but it needs to be at least 2" longer.

Pillow Talk
Great. Very comfortable.

Sleeping Pad Strap
NOTE: This item is a single strap. Make sure to order at least two straps! Three straps are nice for full length pads.
Used them with my significant other in the [Smokeys] last month and it is so nice to keep the pads from sliding apart and staying cozy. Simple and light design. Would recommend for couples who want to stay close at night.
– Corey S., ★★★★★
Snuggling up next to your partner makes a cold night on the trail better, until your sleeping pads begin to slide apart. Use two or more of these sleeping pad straps to keep a pair of sleeping pads lashed together side by side.
Neoair Uberlight Sleeping Pad
What I love most about this sleeping pad is its light weight, and that it packs up very small. I had to send the first one back because of a leaky valve, but received a replacement very quickly. I love the new valve design - it’s very easy to use, and very efficient.
– Constance D., ★★★★☆

Goose Hood
Couldn’t be happier with this down hood. Perfect for quilt users, doesn’t slide around or off your head at night like a beanie can on straight, slick hair. Much better than the hood on a sleeping bag, which can slide into your face when you turn, and of course can’t be detached for use as a separate warm hood. The ultra light weight is remarkable. It’s very warm and has a cozy fit and feel.
– Rachel M., ★★★★★
Get ready for sweet dreams on cold nights when bundled up with the Goose Hood. A perfect companion to your ultralight down quilt, stay cozy and snug tucked away from the cold. The Goose Hood can also be worn by itself when you need extra protection from the chill.
Brushtail Possum Beanie
This is without doubt the warmest beanie l have ever had on my head in still air. Kept me toasty in sub zero. I’ve recommended it and Zpacks to several friends.
– William C., ★★★★★

Fleece Hat
A few weeks earlier, I would have just lived with a cold head. But not now! For almost no weight and a tiny amount of space in my pack, I put up a strong defense against hypothermia. Another great product!

Conductive Brushtail Possum Gloves
Excellent! I have the worst circulation and have tried literally every glove and mitten on the market. My hands and fingertips freeze within a few minutes of being in the cold wether it's mild or below zero. These gloves keep my fingertips warm! I do not have to wear anything else.
– Dave H., ★★★★★

Goose Socks
I’m a cold sleeper and was looking for options to help keep my feet warm through out the night. In the past I’ve used wool socks which helped but didn’t quite keep the chill out. The first night I used the goose socks it was like heaven! They are so lightweight and add noticeable warmth! These will extend my hiking season well into the late fall, worth every penny!
– Kimberly N., ★★★★★
