Comments about Therm-A-Rest Thermarest Large Compressible Pillow:

I bought a medium and a large, and after a wash/dry cycle, they are way too fluffy to be comfortable to sleep on (even after compressing for a couple days and allowed to expand back on their own).

However, it is easy enough to undo the stitching on one end, remove some of the foam pads, and sew the end back up. After removing almost half the foam, I ended up with a pillow that is the right loft for me and compresses to a much smaller size.

The material for the pillow itself is comfortable and tough, and this seems like it will last a long time (like the Thermorest backpacking pillows I purchased 15 years ago that are still like new).

Washed and dried per instructions, then air dried for a couple of days before packing. It was packed in a plastic bag inside my duffel, as I pack everything for my bicycle trips. When I unpacked it, it was soaking wet, and stayed wet for the entire week-long trip.

As recommended by the attached user tag, this pillow will expand and fluff up very nicely if washed and dried before its first use. It actually dried much faster in a standard clothes dryer than I expected. Very comfortable. The large size is best suited for car camping or shorter backpacking ventures. Very pleased.

I've used this pillow on 3 recent trips and it's is quickly becoming a must have item (along with coffee)! Packs tightly, is lightweight, and reasonably comfortable after a couple of hours De-compressing

Nice pillow, but not as fluffy as they show in the photos.

It's soft but doesn't compress too much to be on the ground

This pillow is excellent. It does not achieve full loft for several hours after unfolding, but even when opened and repacked every day will still fluff to suit most users in less than an hour. The nature of the foam inside is very controllable (fluffy vs. low and hard), which makes this item ideal for diverse users. The large size packs down reasonably well, but too big for most backpackers (I use the large for river expeditions - L packs fine in a drybag). Mine have not yet been used during very cold weather, but the warm-weather fabric side breathes very well on hot nights. I replaced my own pillow at home with this little wonder because of its fine qualities, though I suggest doing this with one of the more conventional patterns if you're married!

This pillow was easy to compact to a smaller size. Only con about it was that it takes a while to dry after washing. Other then that its great.

Could be better for the cost not verry technical for a company that puts out great gear. I could have used a piece of foam with the same results.

Bought the large version of the pillow for family camping trip, based on previous experiences with small and medium size in backcountry. Love the compact design and the warmth it kicks back. Would not pack the large pillow on a three day trip into the woods, but for family car camping, it beats bringing the pillows from the house.
