I have enough material to make a few more sub 1oz pillows. They are the same size as my standard KookaBay.com pillows but they use white 30d air tight nylon. That last ones I made came in at 0.96-0.98 ounces and pack down size is ridiculously small! I can make 4-5 of these and the material is gone for good.
Price is $35 shipped and all proceeds will go to BPL so I can become a lifetime member!
Bender, thanks for the pillow. It looks great, despite what you say is a rough prototype. Your regular production items must look REALLY good! I'll be sleeping on it in the next few days. I can't wait. It's a different type of pillow than the ones you're selling here, but I wanted to share my impression of your handiwork.
I have one of these. It weighs 0.92oz on my scale. I can blow it up with one big breathe. The size of this thing rolled up is crazy. It's about as big as a chapstick. There's no better inflatable pillow.
How have people found these pillows? I am looking for something post surgery so that I can have a little more support on my neck than usual, which is no pillow at all.
These pillows are baffled well so they have a nice flat surface to rest your head on, but it's still an inflatable pillow so it won't have the same feel as the feather pillow you use at home. I haven't had a chance to sleep on mine yet but it feels good laying on it at home and I suspect it's going to be quite good at about 75% inflation and with a shirt or two laid on top to give it a nice soft surface against my skin. The pillow feels like laying your head on a NeoAir except the pillow is an inch thicker (3.5" vs. 2.5").
Guys the sub 1oz pillows shipped out last week so most have been delivered or will be there Monday. The next batch of 1.3oz pillows will be shipped out shortly. Enjoy the comfort!
