This past weekend I didn't have any extra clothing to use for a pillow so I used my shoes. Just curious what other objects you guys have used.

I routinely roll up the backpad of my Gossamer Gear Gorilla pack, secure with a velcro strap (that doubles to secure my NeoAir folded in half after rolling). Pillow is quite comfy, adds no weight, and never gets used for extra warmth inside bag. I bet it's more comfy than my shoes, but I could see using those if I had to. Also use the same backpad for a butt pad around camp or if taking a trail break, so it actually serves three functions.

Have also used a 2 liter platypus inflated with air, but this has a tendency to scoot away and needs to be recaptured and restrained several times during the nite. Add some water to tame it and make recapture easier.
