Excellent pillow - Big Agnes Q-Core SL Pillow

This is a fairly large, yet quite comfortable pillow that compresses down to a small pack size. Once you get it out of it's little mesh stuff sack, it unfolds to 12" tall, by 16" wide. How thick it is depends on how much you blow it up. And it's easy to do just that. One down side is the valve is a bit large and can be "clunky". And because of it's size, it's what makes the pillow so heavy. If Big Agnes had decided to use a smaller valve, this pillow would easily have weighed less than 2 ounces. But, despite that, once blown up to what's comfortable, it's just that. Comfortable. It's also noisy, as it crinkles quite a bit when you turn you head on it. However, it's shaped so that your head is kept near the middle of the pillow when on your back. If you're a side sleeper, you'll need a small pillow case as I found my ear sweating because of the nylon material. Overall, a good pillow, but there are others that are more comfortable, lighter, and less noisy.
