None yet - still deciding! And still waiting to start my new job so I can make some $$ to go hiking. But when I decide, I'll be sure to post my feelings on it :)

The Montbell Comfort System pillow is not on the list. Weighs about 2.5 oz. Also missing is the Big Agnes Clearview pillow. Weighs about 3 oz.

I read through that, saw mention of mummy-bag specified pillows, and decided to inspect my bag (REI Lumen 25+) further. To my surprise, there's a pocket in the hood, where I could presumably put a pillow. Didn't even know that was there!
I LOVE the cocoon pillow! I like to sleep on my stomach and I can inflate this pillow just enough to keep my head cushioned but not cranked at an odd angle. Also, the smooth side is nice and cool in the summer!
I don't see mention of the inflatable pillows available from medical supply houses. The best and cheapest solution.

That's what I use, but in a Walmart camp pillow (took out the plastic bladder, left the memory foam). Works pretty well for $6. I also have a custom inflatable I had Bender on BPL make; it's pretty good. Need to have him make me a thicker one though.

How does the Cocoon air bladders hold up?
That's what I use, but in a Walmart camp pillow (took out the plastic bladder, left the memory foam). Works pretty well for $6.The idea of a pillow shell with a thin layer of memory foam surrounding the medical inflatable sounds good. I looked at Walmart website but all I see is the Coleman foldable and I don't turn up anything that sounds like that on a search for "Walmart camp pillow." Is this an older discontinued thing or is it still in the stores?
