You won't regret the pillow. It's the best 10 oz item in the pack. With that said, my chair is the best 29 oz in the pack. Having a legit chair after a 10 mile hike is awesome.
The last pillow I bought and took with me was a thermarest stuff pillow and as far as I am concerned it was/is a POS. Waste of space.
I do need a pillow, though, so I will try one of the inflatables for my next trek. For this overnighter, I'm planning to use my rain gear as a pillow. Of course, if it rains it will be wet and I will be well and truly screwed.
I looked up the chair and I'm skeptical. 2 pounds. Doesn't sound like much, but dang. I think I would need to see it in action before I hauled it along with me. Of course, the last trip I went on I sat on the ground the entire time and picked up 5 ticks, so ....

This is the one I have pillow. If you move a lot in your sleep it can be a pain if you aren't using a mummy bag. I basically put the pillow inside the top of my bag to keep it from wandering off (I don't sit still in my sleep). I have a friend who put some velcro on it and the sleeping pad to keep it from sliding away. It's not perfect like your pillow at home, but a million times better than laying on the ground.
