Besides a sleeping pad, a pillow can be a useful accessory for camping in the wild. Many people don't feel comfortable sleeping without some cushion beneath their heads. Fortunately, there are numerous options available from the ubiquitous wool blanket to the more expensive (and sexier) down pillows. It can be difficult to choose the right pillow for you. But with the right products on hand, the outdoor enthusiast can enjoy a blissful night's sleep.
Having a few high quality sleeping pads is a must, but having a decent pillow can be the difference between a good night's sleep and a nightmare scenario. The ideal pillow should be lightweight, breathable. waterproof. and washable. There are two choices if you don’t have a pillow to choose from: improvise (as the saying goes), or lie down on the ground. A comfortable pillow can help you align your spine during the night.
Although it can be difficult to find the best pillow for your needs, with the right tools and knowledge, the process should not be overwhelming. A cheaper synthetic option is better for those on a budget. Although it is hard to beat a down blanket a few ounces of feathers can make your life easier.
