Cub Pillow
The Original Hammock Camping Pillow
Every company has to start somewhere.
For us, it started with a pillow.
Back in 2009, after countless nights spent hammock camping, we kept running into the same problem. Regular backpacking pillows slid away in the middle of the night, inflatable pillows felt like balloons under our heads, and stuffing extra clothes into a stuff sack just wasn’t very comfortable.
So we built our own.
The Cub Pillow became the very first product ever made by Arrowhead Equipment, and over the years it has traveled on thousands of adventures with campers, backpackers, paddlers, hunters, and travelers all over the world. More than fifteen years later, it is still one of our favorite pieces of gear because it solves a simple problem exceptionally well.
Small enough that you’ll never think twice about packing it, comfortable enough that you’ll never want to leave it behind.
Why You’ll Love the Cub Pillow
It stays where your head belongs.If you’ve ever used a pillow in a hammock, you’ve probably chased it around all night.
That’s exactly why every Cub Pillow includes a lightweight shock cord tether. Simply clip it to your hammock ridgeline and the pillow stays positioned behind your head instead of sliding down toward your shoulders while you sleep. It is one of those little features that makes a surprisingly big difference after a full night on the trail.
Tiny packed size. Big comfort.
At only about 3 ounces including the stuff sack, the Cub Pillow disappears into your pack. The Climashield™ insulation compresses easily while providing soft, supportive loft that feels much more natural than an inflatable pillow.
More comfortable than inflatable pillows.Some campers love inflatable pillows.
Others spend the night adjusting the air pressure.
The Cub Pillow simply feels like…well…a pillow. Soft enough to be comfortable, supportive enough to sleep well, and ready to use the moment you pull it out of your pack.

It works just as well inside a tent, on a sleeping pad, in the back of the truck, or even on a long flight. The soft synthetic insulation maintains its loft night after night, while the compact size makes it an easy luxury to justify bringing along.
