FAQs
What is the Ballast Pillow Pro used for?
It is a compact pillow made for travel, beach lounging, pool days, festivals, camping, and relaxing outdoors.
Is it easy to pack?
Yes. It packs down small and can fit in the palm of your hand when packed away.
How do I clean my Ballast products?
We have tried to keep cleaning and drying as simple as possible for our products. Highly recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water and air drying. If machine washing is a must, keep it on warm and low. Do not put it in the dryer, as it can damage the air valve and bladder.
How long will my pillow last?
If cared for properly, your Ballast outdoor pillow should see you through several beach and camping seasons. Here are some important tips to keep in mind: Use Your Pillow On a Blanket Or Towel Be sure to protect your pillow from sharp objects, and this includes broken shells, twigs, and craggy rocks that can sometimes be found in sand. For this reason, we encourage you to place your pillow on a towel rather than directly on the sand itself. Even the softest sand can contain hidden objects that can tear, or puncture, your pillow. Dry Fabric Completely Before Storing Make sure the pillow is completely dry before storing it to prevent mold or mildew from forming. Fortunately the Ballast pillow fabric dries fast, especially in the sun.
How is it different from a regular travel pillow?
It is designed for both the journey and the destination, so you can use it while traveling and then again at the beach, pool, campsite, or outdoor event.

Our Story
A Better Way to Relax at The Beach
For years, I wanted a pillow I could actually use at the beach and kept wondering why one didn’t exist. A traditional stuffed pillow would get ruined by salt water and sand, while inflatable pillows were too light to stay put on a windy day. I knew the solution had to be comfortable without adding something heavy to carry.
That’s what led me to create the Ballast outdoor pillow. I designed it with an attached pouch that can be filled with a small scoop of sand to help keep it in place, then emptied when it’s time to leave. My goal is simple: make the beach more comfortable and give people an easier way to relax outdoors.
