I did have a dog who was quite happy for me to use him as a pillow.

luxury of a pillow, thought it was a privilege to include a roll of toilet paper.

You go away and sleep in a motel and the pillows are garbage. No sleep. Not helpful for the next day when you have to perform for something very very important.

Not me.
I can sleep on a floor with no pillow.

For those with neck back troubles compressed spinal syndrome etc the old rolled up jacket just doesn’t cut it.
Interesting thread.
Any pics of Sarah?
I’d rather have one called Elaine
Have that airplane move auto pilot scene now stuck in my head.
For you younger ones please look away now as this is when they made good movies that offended

I'm 6'2" 110kg and I like those blow up pillows but wrapping it up in your jacket makes it much more comfortable

$15 naturehike pillow off aliexpress does fine for me. Side-sleeper, not exactly broad-shouldered though..
Best if not over inflated or it gets a bit firm for comfort. Can always wrap a jersey around it for extra height.

polarfleece crawford...stuff full of spare cloths then tuck one flap in each way to keep it in place...6' 115-120kgs side sleeper and snorer.... works well as I will roll over 6-8-127 times during night,some nights the arms go all pins n needle like ...a os sleeping bag has helped no end.

As someone already mentioned, I think the trick is to have it as deflated as possible. Fully inflated and your head just wants to roll straight off it, or it gets popped out to the side during the night.
I like mine.

If Pamela has a sister Debbie, yes

The $4 Kmart inflatable camp pillow is surprisingly good for the money. Works for me.

+1 for the Kmart one

I use a Macpac one. Like others have said- not fully inflated is best. Used a rolled up jacket for years but the pillow is a big step up in comfort for bugger all extra weight.

My brother uses a $4 Kmart one which he likes. The Kmart ones have the added benefit of a plastic underside, so he uses his as a glassing seat too.

The blow up pillows are also good for glassing ( well deflated ) when you have a fractured tail bone.

I have two inflatable pillow sizes for either a sleeping matt or stretcher.

Another tip for restless sleepers if you have a sore lower back or hips is to put a pillow between your knees when side sleeping.
Sure it will fall out when you turn over in your sleep, but it actually can relieve that dull pain enough to get to sleep better
