That influencer review of the $80 camping pillow was way off base

I actually bought that pillow they hyped up and after 3 nights in the Smokies last month, my neck was wrecked, so has anyone else found a decent inflatable pillow that doesn't cost a fortune or feel like a rock?

Did you try the REI one that's like $25? I bought it after returning that same $80 one and honestly it's way better for the price, not perfect but my neck actually survived a long weekend in it.

So what specifically made the REI one work better for you - was it the shape or the firmness that saved your neck?

Has anyone else had that experience where a cheap pillow just works better than the expensive one? I bought the same REI one after reading this and it was a total game changer for my neck too. @aliceharris, I think the shape is what actually saved me - the cheap one cradles my head at a angle that the expensive one just couldn't match.
