About This Gear

Rumpl The Camp Pillow puffs up into a very comfortable pillow when you're ready to sleep. Choose your sleep setting with the adjustable camp pillow's two-sided temperature control: soft-touch, cooling polyester on one side, and warm polar fleece on the other. It's considerably larger than the inflatable alternatives but more like a pillow from home.
