Is there an inflatable pillow, preferably ultra-light material, and inflatable by hand, not by blowing with the mouth. May be with a small hand piston or hand pump. There are these torch lights that charge by rotating a handle, somewhat like that. To be used in (Indian non-AC) trains. I am not good at blowing through little nozzles. Or the pillow I end up buying are too unfriendly to blow, require pressing the nozzle too tightly to see a tiny opening and have to blow till eyes pop out, like a lung exercise!

Most pillows I have seen use the same kind of nozzles as small airbeds and balls. You can buy a pump for those and carry it as a separate item.

Yes, almost shops that sell airbeds, balls to be used on the beach and so on have them.

There are self-inflating pillows, which work in the same manner as self-inflating sleeping mats, no blowing required, just open the valve and air is drawn into the internal foam structure. To deflate they need rolling tightly with the valve open and then close the valve to keep the pillow compressed.
The one's I've seen are quite lightweight but they are definitely bulkier than ones you have to blow into.

The self inflating one I have is useful for something to sit on, but not for something under your head to sleep, unless you fold it. Can do for a person camping, but not a replacement for a normal pillow for most.
