Now that it has been out awhile, what do you have to say?

1) I sleep on my back and my side. Is there enough "lift" for your neck when on your side?

2) Does it (fabric) feel similar to the Montbell (which I have) and Exped UL pillows?

Thank you.

I have a Pillow X, and as far as the height question goes, I find it a little short- the "X" depression is great for keeping the pillow under your head (I used a different inflatable- Cocoon, I think – and spent a lot of time having it shoot out from under my head a lot), but it also means that there's not a lot of elevation for your head (IMO, anyway).

What I found actually really works for me is to stick the pillow inside of a mid-size stuffsack (I used the one from my Golite Quilt) and inflate it in there- it bunches up the pillow enough to give an inch or two of extra height to make it comfortable, and the fabric feels nicer on my face.

I do have an Exped pillow floating around somewhere, and my general impression is that the fabric is definitely nicer than the Klymit, but not mindblowingly so.

The pillow works much better on the O Zone pad.
The pad is already 1.75" high making the pillow just right.

I sleep on my side, and have to supplement the height with a down jacket. I prefer the down jacket under my head, so the height is perfect (for me).

Have never used the exped pillow.
