Cocoon Air Core Hood/Camp Pillow

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

A comfortable and supportive camping pillow that’s very light and reasonably priced.

Cocoon says: 

Ultra-lightweight, compact travel pillow with an inflatable, exchangable air core underneath a layer of synthetic filling and a Microfiber/Nylon shell. The Air-Core Hood/Camp Pillow is specially designed to fit in the hood of a sleeping bag. Its shape also makes it ideal for use in a hammock.

Our Verdict

This pillow utilises a soft nylon and a microfibre outer. Personally, I find the nylon very comfortable, and it feels lovely and soft to sleep on. I wish the entire pillow were made from this. A thin layer of insulation between the outer shell and the internal air bladder adds some comfort.

It has an unusual, spring-loaded inflation valve, which lets you tailor how inflated the pillow is. The valve is located on the side of the pillow, which I have never seen another company do. This makes sense; you won’t ever be resting your head on it.

A discreet zip on the side can be opened, and the internal air bladder can be removed; this means you can wash the outer pillow. Unintenchally, this also gives you a fantastic place to stash items to keep them safe.
