The Flextail Zero Pillow has become a real upgrade over the many camping pillows I have used before. It is comfortable, supportive, and packs down impressively small considering how generously sized it feels once inflated.
One small issue at first: mine had a noticeable smell straight out of the package, so I washed it before using it. Fortunately, that worked perfectly and the smell was gone afterward. Since then, I have had no further issue with it.
As someone who sleeps mainly on their side and stomach, I find this pillow genuinely comfortable. I have used it on several trips and even tested it at home for a night. It provided a much better sleeping experience than the typical tiny, slippery, or overly firm inflatable camping pillows.
What I especially like is the balance between size and packed volume. When inflated, the pillow is fairly large and gives proper head support. When deflated, it becomes very compact, making it easy to pack for camping, backpacking, tarp setups, or vanlife.
**Overall:** a very comfortable and compact camping pillow, especially for side and stomach sleepers. Apart from the initial odor—which was easily fixed by washing—it is a big improvement over older camping pillows and now one of my favorite sleep accessories.
