Finding the Right Pillow

When it comes to dialing in your sleep system, your pillow matters. At Klymit, we design lightweight, packable pillows that deliver maximum comfort with minimal bulk—whether you're pushing miles in the backcountry or car camping under the stars. Here’s a breakdown of our pillow lineup and how to choose the right one for your adventure.

Drift™ Camp Pillow

Best for: Car camping, overlanding, basecamps

Why it stands out: The Drift Pillow delivers home-level comfort with a full-size design and rugged cover that resists dirt and moisture—flip it to reveal a soft jersey cotton surface when it’s time to wind down. Perfect for campers who don’t want to compromise on comfort.

What others have to say: “Great Comfy Pillow - Slept 1 night in my bed with this as a trial run, besides the small size (to be expected) the pillow itself was surprisingly comfy. Took it on a 5-day canoe trip later that month. Overall, I'm very happy with this. It's much more comfy than a traditional inflatable camping pillow. It does take up more room in the pack, but the compression strap it comes with does a good job of compressing it. I think it's worth the real estate. Fits in my mummy sleeping bag perfectly, I don't need to move the pillow at all in the sleeping bag once you tuck it into the hood. Probably the best camping sleep I've ever had.”

Pillow X™

Best for: Ultralight backpacking, minimalist travel

Why it stands out: Weighing just 1.95 oz and packing down to the same size as a lighter, the inflatable Pillow X is engineered with a self-centering design that keeps your head in place through the night. A favorite for ounce-counters and thru-hikers.

What others have to say: “For all the comforts of home when you’re in the wilderness this checks those boxes. I like how it is really small and weighs hardly anything. The design keeps your head from sliding off. It’s like the cherry on top when trying to get a good night sleep in the middle of nowhere.”

Pillow X Large™

Best for: Side sleepers, comfort-focused backpackers

Why it stands out: With a wider and taller profile than the original Pillow X, the Large offers more surface area and support. Ideal for those who want lightweight performance without sacrificing comfort.

Luxe™ Camping Pillow

Best for: Campers who want home-level comfort in the wild

Why it stands out: The Luxe Pillow delivers full-size support in a lightweight, packable design. Its soft outer fabric and cradling structure provide stable, all-night comfort. Weighing just 7 ounces and packing down small, it’s the perfect blend of luxury and trail-ready practicality.

What others have to say: “Added this to my sleep system for camping this spring and love it. Easy to inflate to desired stiffness, and the combo of inflatable pillow and soft cover really does the trick. Very packable and comfortable to sleep on. Highly recommend if you're looking for a camp pillow.”

Coast™ Travel Pillow

Best for: Travel, casual camping

Why it stands out: Lightweight and breathable, the Coast Travel Pillow is filled with shredded memory foam and packs into its own compact carry sack. Whether you're sleeping in the passenger seat or at a lakeside campground, this pillow delivers comfort on the go.

What others have to say: “Great for traveling or camping - It can compress into a small size, but it is thick enough to be comfortable for a good night’s sleep. It comes with a transport bag.”
