Thanks! Can sadly wait.
I've been using my Ouray S10 pillow, but need one a little bigger, Buick sized ;-)

Got mine yesterday. Thanks Bart! ::003::
It wasn't easy getting it into the box, and the postmaster got a good chuckle out of it.
That's the size box I need to use to keep the shipping at $10, next size up is $16...
Glad everyone is happy with the pillows. It's just one good way of recycling a poor quality bed
(Now if I can just figure out how to compress one of those beds into a little box ;-)

Many thanks to Bart for the pillows. These deserve a good write up of my experiences.
After my first camping trip with this pillow, I decided it was too tall (thick) for my comfort as it set my head too high. But, it was still more comfortable than any other pillow solution that I have tried for camping....and I think that I've tried just about everything short of a regular bed pillow. That regular pillow would be too large to carry on the bike. I've been using an inflatable thermarest pillow and a cheap Cabelas inflatable for the past couple of years but these move around too much and they still are not all that comfortable.
As of my last week's trip over to the Blue Ridge Gathering, I think that I have found pillow nirvana and the best night's sleep in a tent for 4 consecutive nights. I am convinced this is the best solution for me. I did have to modify Bart's design just a little to make it fit me properly. In order to cut down the height, I pulled the two layers apart at the glue seam, carefully, so as not to rip either half. I used the slightly thicker of the 2 halves (had the glue base) and stuffed that in a pillow case. After the first night's rest, I took the foam out of the pillow case and inserted it directly into the pillow pocket of my Silver City sleeping bag, and that is where it now stays. I've been able to stuff the entire bag & pillow assembly into the original stuff sack that the bag came in and then cinch it down for compact travel.
This solution is working great and after 4 consecutive nights of great sleep, this has been the best camping that I've EVER had. My other solution for compact pillow storage was to roll it tightly, bend roll in half and then use a large rubber band to keep it compressed. This also worked well but the compression sack in the bag solution keeps everything where it is needed and makes set up faster.
Thanks again to Bart for offering these pillows. My next long duration trip will be so much better with night after night of good sleep. I can't wait!

I'm glad you are enjoying yours and found a way to adjust it to your liking.
I still have about 6 left if anyone else wants one to two

Lost is my destination.
Forgot say thanks Buelligan. Quick shipping and a nice, small, highly packable pillow for the road. I appreciate it.

Picked up a zippered Ipad cloth case and the Memory foam cube fit in it perfect. It compresses down to nothing see how it works on my camping trip maybe this weekend to Alamagordo, NM...
The pillows have all found new homes, there are none left.
I'm glad that those of you that got them, are enjoying them.
I will post up if I have another opportunity to make some more.
Hope to see y'all in Arkansas!
