I am a side sleeper and wanted a light weight pillow rather than use a stuff sack with my down jacket.(Besides if you layer your sleep system, you may need that jacket to stay warm) My first attempt was not so good – just couldn't get a replacement air mattress valve to seal properly, so I switched to another idea – a simple roll closure and a clip to keep it closed.

My pillow is basically 15"x10" with a 4" roll closure. It's made with heat seal-able fabric with 1/2" sealed seams. There is also a 2" baffle down the center that creates a cradle for my head.

It folds up to a small package.

Here's the inflated picture.

Lastly it fits my needs for being light to at 1.3oz.

I've been contemplating something similar, if you don't mind sharing wear did you source the fabric and what did you use to seal it? Clothes iron?
