How small is the pillow, when it's deflated? I'd like to carry it in a medium sized handbag. And is it easy to fill up?

The pillow folds to about a 4X4 flat square and reguires only a few puffs of air to inflate since you to not fill it to full capacity.

about 12-15 inches wide by 12-15 inches long. deflates & inflates very easy should not be a problem in your bag unless your bag is filled all the stuff my wife has in her bag! Best thing it WORKS!

It can be folded up to be pretty small when deflated and is not hard to inflate

It's perfectly flat and I would think you could fold it easily enough to put in a handbag. You blow two puffs into it, or at least that's all I need. IT'S WONDERFUL ! I have degenerative disc disease with severe arthritis and I use the pillow when driving!! It takes away the jars to my back from bumps in the road etc. Your back just moves with the pillow. I can't say enough good about it. I wouldn't want to be without it for sure. It eases the pain in my back so much. Wow! I am so thankful a friend introduced this to me. It was heaven sent!!! You will love it. I don't use the straps. I just put it behind my back when driving. You could use it in a chair in the house as well, I would think, but it's the greatest thing since sliced bread for the car!!! I hope you like it as much as I do. I hope you will let me know how you like it. Billie R.

Well stated by previous reviewer! Yes, it's very easy to fill up. The trick is to restrain yourself from blowing too much air into it...in this case less is preferred. Also, if you take it with you to the movies, for example, please make a point of remembering it when you leave.

I sent mine back .it was about the size of a baby pillow. useless I love their regular pillows I have 4 of them but the travel pillow I would not have it for free.

The pillow isn't too heavy and I think it is easy to pack for traveling. It is slightly bulky, but not terrible.

very easy to deflate. We pull it out for kids sleepovers and it fits easily back into the bag

i mean, it's pretty light and folds up... it's about the size of 1.5 standard pillows. it could fit anywhere really so i would say that this is great for a trip.

If folded properly, and I have done it both the right way and wrong. It takes up about the same size as a medium pillow. You can try to fold it again after that however I didn't want to try.

I would say it's about medium. I haven't slept on it yet. That's really the only way your going to know if works for you. I would think if it's too soft it's not going to give you much cushion. I can update after I've spent a night on it. I bought it for the same reason. It's about 2 1/2 thick not 1 as mary c states.

We have an air pump that inflates and also deflates the WOW so it is easy. When deflated we fold it and it is about 2' by 2' by 1 1/2'.We use it on a lake so take it out and put it on the dock each evening which is really easy compared to some inflatables we have had.I purchased my first one last year and added a second one this year. Our guests have loved using it.

My wife has tried a number of "wedge" pillows and this is the best one for her. The height is 6" and does not compress very much. The best part is the 33" length which allows the body a little more of a "normal" position. And for travelling it is great. Hope this helps.

It deflates in about 10-15 mins, to deflate quicker you can press it & fold it & roll it up. Roll the bed from the bottom, away from the air vent release & it will deflate quicker & fold nice & flat to store in the bag it came with.

That is such a subjective question. I guess I would say medium. When I use it with the fatter part under my neck it feels firmer. When I don't feel like having it as firm, I turn it the other way so that it is softer. The main issue I had was the off-gases that you smell when you first get it. It took about 2 weeks of airing out to get rid of the gases. I am now very happy with it as my travel pillow. I can use it as a back support on the airplane. I can fold it into a cylinder and squeeze it into a small space.

It is easy to deflate and fold up. But getting it back into the storage bag is difficult. I ended up buying a large bin to store all of it including air compressor. That was so I don't have to fold it too tightly to squeeze into the bag (irritating). I put the bin in my garage. It's large. Taking it out and putting it away is a process.

Hi, I am 5'1 and decided to order the Medium size which is supposed to fit people from 5'6"-5'11". I am very happy I got this size. It just fits me exactly like the one pictured. My feet do not touch the mattress. The width of the pillow is 20". I have been sleeping with it every single day since I got it and it has not changed its shape at all. Since the cover is very expensive to buy, I place a sheet or some kind of cloth on top to keep it clean. I highly recommend this pillow if you have low back problems. I would not go without it. In reading other answers, people are recommending a small for you. If you don't mind the bulkiness and if you want it to fit just like the picture then the medium is better. I like it to be bigger because it gives my back more support by keeping my legs elevated a little higher. I hope this information helps. Amelia

I own the smaller (Japanese, 14x20) size. I have owned it for a few years and just ordered a second (through Beans72). I love the pillow, it is very good @ heat dissipation, however, it does get rather warm, but not nearly as bad as conventionally filled pillows. Very glad that I gave the Beans72 a try !

hi there...the pillow is smaller than a normal pillow...about 24" x 15"...but it is very comfortable and "squishes" so nicely as we punch it during our sleep...best I have ever tried....

Hi Tracy, It's very light, probably about a lb. or two. And if you take it deflated it would pack better. You could probably inflate it manually, it was just much easier with a pump. But not really necessary. Have fun on your trip!
