Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

A featherlight yet supportive pillow, the Big Sky DreamNation is perfect for ultralight adventurers who value comfort without the bulk.

Big Sky International says: 

One of the Most Comfortable Ultra Light Weight Inflatable Pillows made…

With a weight of less than 50g (2oz) and a small packed size a couple of Big Sky’s DreamSleeper™ DreamNation™ UltraLight inflatable pillows can fit in the palm of your hand, so Big Sky’s DreamSleeper™ DreamNation™ pillows can be taken anywhere.

Our Verdict

The Big Sky International DreamNation Ultralight Pillow is a standout choice. At just 46g, it’s impressively light, yet it inflates to a generous 10cm thickness, providing a good amount of support for a restful night’s sleep. The ergonomic design cradles your head effectively, and the high-grade TPU material feels durable.

One of the pillow’s best features is its packability—deflated, it folds incredibly small, quickly slipping into a pocket or stuffed into the bottom of your sleeping bag. I found it quick to inflate and deflate, and the material has a slight stretch that adds to its comfort. I’d recommend using a neck gaiter or T-shirt as a cover, as the TPU surface can feel a bit slick against bare skin.

While it’s not the plushest pillow, it balances weight, comfort, and durability. For ultralight hikers or anyone looking to save space, it’s a reliable and thoughtful addition to your sleep system.

Features

• Pillow is ergonomically designed to cradle a person’s head for a good night’s sleep.
• Big Sky uses high grade Thermo PolyUrethane (TPU) for this product that has a higher strength to weight ratio than PVC that some cheap pillows are made out of.
• Since Big Sky’s DreamSleeper™ DreamNation™ pillow is made with TPU it can be used in the winter, unlike cheaper pillows made with PVC that will crack when it gets too cold.
• TPU goes though a natural aging process, initially transparent, then translucent, and eventually opaque.
• TPU is also more environmental friendly than PVC.
