Average product quality, which is not justified even by the low price. After just a month, it started to lose air. The 'self-inflating' function is rather just a name and not a practical solution. It is also very large – my mattress takes up half as much space as this pillow, and its size is more like a summer sleeping bag.
Mil-Tec Self-Inflating Pillow - Olive
Self-inflating camping pillow crafted from robust polyester and featuring a PVC waterproof coating. The core is filled with polyurethane foam, offering self-inflating capabilities.
Shape for comfort
Thanks to the dense filling, folding is easy and the pillow consistently regains its original volume. The classic shape guarantees both comfort and reliable support for the head and neck. Perfect for use on a camping trip in a tent or during both short and extended travels.
Adjustable cushion softness, robust and tight valve
Fitted with a durable, leak-resistant valve and an integrated cap, the pillow is designed for reliability. Once the valve is opened, the foam core automatically draws in air and expands within a few minutes. The pillow can also be quickly filled with air just like a conventional mattress, allowing for a faster setup when needed.
Pillow firmness can be customized by adding or releasing air to suit individual comfort preferences. Reinforced galvanized seams ensure superior resistance to compression.
Convenient transportation and storage
When no longer required, simply unscrew the valve and evacuate air by rolling the pillow. Then, reseal the valve and store the pillow inside the carrying case.
Supplied with a drawstring carrying case and elastic straps that facilitate easy rolling.

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this pillow because it is made of a very unpleasant material and presses uncomfortably on the head while sleeping. I would prefer to invest in a fabric pillow.
-
The pillow, after a year of occasional use, loses its seal, especially at the valve. I have two such pillows and both have the same problem. The air leaks out.
-
I would rate it as average or even poor. It lost its seal very quickly, leaks somewhere near the valve and it's not just me, as my friend has the same issue. On the plus side, it is flexible enough that it doesn't bother me. It takes up a lot of space, almost as much as a 3x3 tarp. For me, it is more comfortable than the simplest inflatable one from Decathlon.
-
The pillow is handy and light, great for taking outdoors. The solid material protects against abrasions and moisture. It provides comfort during rest and you can easily adjust the firmness.
-
Considering the price, it is quite a good product. In my opinion, the self-inflating pillow is a bit too high, although this can be adjusted with the pressure. The self-inflation works for about 30%, then you have to blow it up yourself, which isn't a problem. Sleeping is comfortable, the valve holds air, and it doesn't leak. Personally, I slept well on this pillow. I recommend it.
-
I tested the pillow on a camping trip in the car, unfortunately it didn't meet my expectations - you have to wait a long time before the 'self-inflating' function even slightly works (by itself, it fills about 20%). For me, a very big minus that completely disqualifies this product is the very rustling material, it was impossible to sleep on - both for me and my wife. Overall, I do not recommend it if you care about comfort under your head. The only plus is its size compared to a regular pillow.
-
The pillow is very aesthetically made. The material is pleasant to the touch. The optimal size and shape provide a sense of comfort during sleep. Good quality valve. A useful gadget for all kinds of trips.
-
The pillow does not hold air pressure and its "self-inflation" function is weak; maybe it inflates itself up to 10%, then you have to use your mouth. Air goes from maximum to zero in two hours. I’ll add the pillow shows no signs of damage.
-
The self-inflating pillow serves its purpose. You need to add a bit of air yourself if you like it hard under your head. The air escapes a little, but overall it does the job.
-
The next day it deflated. The reason was a through-hole near the valve. I patched it, lasted three days and then there was a hole on the other side.
-
Comfortable pillow, takes up very little space so you can throw it in your backpack and forget about it. "Self-inflation" doesn't quite work as the name suggests and you have to blow it up yourself, but because of the polyurethane, you don't have to use much effort. The material is fine, and the price is definitely good.
-
A very comfortable pillow with a well-thought-out shape. You have to keep in mind that it's quite a big package, so you won’t always have space in your backpack. But it provides just the right sleep comfort :)
-
The first pillow had to be returned shortly after picking it up from the parcel machine – it was leaking air. I exchanged it for a new one, which also became leaky after two years. Apart from that, it's a decent product and came in handy many times. I used a pillowcase because the material is slippery and unpleasant against the skin.
-
Durable, easy to use, and pleasant to touch. Fully inflated it's a bit too high for me, which is a plus because you can regulate it by lowering the pressure without losing the function of the pillow.
