Pillows for sleeping bags
Walking offers numerous health benefits. However, when you hike for several consecutive days, the distance can cause joint, muscle, and mental fatigue. This is especially true when your backpack contains all your essentials (clothing, food, stove, cookware, water, tent, sleeping pad, sleeping bag, etc.). To recover effectively, one essential item is sometimes overlooked: the pillow. While it holds an important place at home, it is also crucial when backpacking to ensure a good night's sleep.

The Importance of a Good Pillow When Trekking
Unlike traditional pillows, a trekking pillow is designed to provide comfort after a long day of walking. To meet the specific needs of hikers, it must combine lightness, compactness, and comfort—essential characteristics for a restful sleep while camping. An inflatable pillow, for example, instead of a fleece bundled under your head, can make the difference between a restorative night and restless sleep.
For hikers who prioritise the quality of their equipment, we recommend Sea To Summit camping pillows which combine all these qualities. They are designed to perfectly adapt to outdoor conditions, resisting moisture and temperature variations. They guarantee quality sleep, wherever you are.
Some sleeping bags come with a sort of pocket where you can insert a pillow once inflated. This pocket acts as a pillowcase, preventing your head from resting directly on the pillow.
Choosing an Inflatable Pillow for Hiking, Backpacking, or Camping
To ensure your nights are pleasant, we invite you to consider these essential criteria:
- Lightweight and compact: A good trekking pillow should be light and easily packable to take up as little space as possible in your backpack.
- Comfort and support: A good pillow should support the head and neck to prevent neck pain. It should also be pleasant to the touch.
- Durability: Camping conditions require robust equipment that will follow you for a long time, whether you're hiking/camping near home or far away on a trip.
Choosing Among Different Types of Pillows
Brands offer various types of pillows suitable for camping:
- Inflatable pillows: Perfect for those looking to minimise their load, you can also easily adapt how firm they feel.
- Compressible pillows: Often filled with down or synthetic fibres, they offer the comfort of a small traditional pillow.
- Hybrid pillows: Combining the advantages of the previous two, they offer a balance between comfort practicality, support and plushness.
For a successful trek, it's important to pace yourself and know how to rest. To ensure quality rest and continue your journey in the best conditions, you must also consider your preferences to find the pillow that suits you. If you hesitate between several models, do not hesitate to contact us. We will be happy to help you make your choice so that you can enjoy excellent nights in the great outdoors.
