So how bad are the pillows? Im just currious if I should bring my own, if so anyone got a reccomedation for a nice packable one (I HATE travel sized pillows, just got rid of the 5 camp ones)
If traveling coach, bring your own. If in a sleeper/room, then they're provided.So how bad are the pillows? Im just currious if I should bring my own, if so anyone got a reccomedation for a nice packable one (I HATE travel sized pillows, just got rid of the 5 camp ones)
Standard pillows.we've got sleepers. We plan on taking the metro once we hit dc so were trying to pack light. how big are there pillows? i have a little blow up one that came with a nice fleece blanket but I hate tiny pillows. the blanket was worth it though! the best part is I can hook it to my luggage with a carabener

Just be aware that Amtrak's "standard" pillows are much thinner and flimsier than any standard pillow you'd ever find in an actual store. Even Walmart's cheapest generic pillow is several times thicker and plusher than any of Amtrak's pillows.oH thank god! less to lugStandard pillows.we've got sleepers.

I would say that Amtrak sleeper pillows are indeed very similar to hospital pillows.they look like hospital pillows
Phew! Thanks for posting that. Prevented me from commenting on whether the cute one was AmtrakBlue's kid.All of the monkeys pic in the post reminds me of a favorite saying of mine, "Not my circus, not my monkeys."

That's a translation of the Polish proverb "nie mój cyrk, nie more małpy". It's become quite popular. It basically means "not my problem".All of the monkeys pic in the post reminds me of a favorite saying of mine, "Not my circus, not my monkeys."
Just please....DO NOT EVER get sucked into the "My Pillow" spiel....fragments of foam rubber in a cheap covering. No, I didn't, but know of too many.Yes, there are usually four pillows in each roomette or bedroom. Our last trips on the SM and CL had decent fluffy pillows. I use two to prop up my head since I need to be partially vertical due to GERD issues.
