I'm a side sleeper, and I tried about 6-8 other pillows of various types and settled on this one. It doesn't pack as small as some of the balloon type pillows, but the memory foam pad helps SO much. It is worth the space and weight in my opinion. I slept several nights in the backcountry with the pillow, and it worked better than anything I've ever used. I deflated it all the way, then folded in half and laid it in the bottom of the sleeping bag compartment of my pack.
