I only work weekends so I decided to do a mid week 1 night camping trip before the camp sites clog up with school kids over the summer holidays. Managed to luck out with perfect weather but I also managed to forget to bring a pillow so I had to buy a travel pillow instead
What travel pillow did you get? Many moons ago I got a Nemo Fillo camping pillow, and that thing has followed me everywhere. It's so so tiny when collapsed, then you inflate it with air to exactly the size/firmness you want.
I just looked now and they have different sizes and colors, when I got it there was only 1 size, and you could get it in any color you want as long as it was black (which is probably good because black doesn't show stains and I definitely would have gotten the yellow one if given the choice, which would probably look nasty by now lol)
I got to visit the Nemo equipment factory/office in Dover NH a long time ago, and it was really cool seeing the space they work on and invent/design new equipment. Shortly after, I bought a Nemo tent (a long discontinued model), and it has kept me comfortable and dry for the last ~10 years and has showed no signs of deteriorating. I always plug the brand whenever I can because I just think they make really good stuff.
I also made a poor financial decision and bought a Sea to Summit inflatable neck pillow recently specifically for an 11 hour flight. It was way more expensive than a neck pillow has any right to be, but I'm a sucker for things that collapse into tiny pouches. It's super comfy, though, and I've used it on a bunch of flights since!
