Air Head Lite Pillow

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Ultralight and super packable, the Air Head Lite air pillow is our smallest backpacking and camping pillow, small enough to fit in your pocket.

Thermarest says

Don’t let the minimal pack size fool you. The Air Head Lite provides the same big comfort as our regular Air Head for a fraction of the weight. The air pillow provides the perfect amount of loft for comfy nights at camp. Customize the firmness of the stretch-knit surface before drifting off into sweet backcountry sleep.

Our Verdict

Therm-a-Rest’s 2020 Air Head Lite Pillow has been updated with a change in shape and a reduction in weight. It is the same valve on this pillow as they used to have on their sleeping mats, so you know it’s really high quality and reliable (and in a worst case scenario, can be replaced). The face fabric is really nice and soft and you shouldn’t need to cover this with anything to get a good nights sleep, the back of the pillow has a slightly different fabric that is more about keeping the weight down.

Overall this is a quality pillow, made to the high standards that Therm-a-Rest hold their mats to. It is light enough, soft and comfortable so it works well and helps give you a decent nights sleep.
