slo’s THURSDAY 2/20 poll - Travel Pillows

[leebee]

No travel pillow. I don't think they look comfortable, and it'd be another thing to juggle when getting on the plane. Mostly, though, I can sleep anywhere. I once slept for three nights, sitting up in a wing back chair with my legs up on the very very very awful sofa bed. No problem, I slept fine!

 

[jo-jo]

That’d be great!
Our itinerary is….
Sunday - DS
Monday - MK & Epcot
Tuesday - Epcot & HS
Wednesday - MK
Thursday - HS
Friday - AK & MK
Saturday - we return home

Sorry friends…..I know this is
Back to our regularly scheduled program

I'll get it back on topic.........How many people bring a travel pillow to sleep at COP or SSE?

 

[AppleDumpling]

I’ve never used one. I will sometimes roll up a fleece or sweatshirt to put around my neck. Also, some airplane seats have adjustable headrests with wings that fold in to cradle your head. (A lot of people are unaware of this.)

Have a wonderful trip, @slo and @Wood Nymph!

Sunday - DS

We'll be in DS for dinner on Sunday.

I tried one once, and it gave me a stiff neck.

I use a ‘travel’ pillow 100% of the time - not just on a plane. It’s a small regular shaped memory foam pillow that goes everywhere with me. I don’t like the idea of sleeping on pillows others have used so I just travel with my own instead…blanket too.

 

[evilmommie]

I always chuckle at people with the donut pillows in airports. But, hey if it works for you…great. I traveled for work and everything I did was streamlined. No room for one of those.

 

[E&Cmom]

Not yet but going on my first long haul flight (12 hours) in 24 years in June so might get one. I got my daughters one each for Christmas and my husband got on which he uses a few years ago.

 

[hertamaniac]

I never tried a travel pillow.

 

[tvguy]

Bought one and used it once for a flight from California to London. Wasn't worth the trouble.

 

[Kooks and Bay Bay]

I always use one because I like to sleep through the flight.
I've had many throughout the years.
The one I have found I like the most is the horseshoe shaped neck pillow style but the ones that are NOT memory foam or bead filled.
Instead I prefer the ones that have the traditional poly/cotton fill.
I use it for road trips too.

 

[ClaraOswald]

I never bring on one the airplane because I don't want to bring extra stuff. But I did get one for our last road trip since I'm a passenger princess and will sometimes nod off. It was very helpful.

Thank you

I rarely sleep on planes but always take an inflatable travel pillow. It doesn’t take up much space in my carry on and I can vary how much I inflate it, so I can use it behind my back or to support my arm (shoulder problems)

 

[Forevermarypoppins]

No thanks!
I've never fallen asleep on a plane, therefore haven't felt a need for one.

My daughter got me a travel pillow that is actually a fleece blanket folded into a rectangle case so it can double as a pillow. Generally the pillow isn't any good since I can only sleep laying down on my stomach, so I just use the blanket, which is super soft.

 

[MICKIMINI]

I wear or bring (if warm) a zip front fleece jacket. Works as a blanket or pillow and of course, a jacket!

Regarding the bolded, I always bend the headrest, if I can. I find that more comfortable than my travel pillow.

I have an inflatable travel pillow that I will bring on long flights. I like that one okay because I can make it more squishy. I find the regular travel pillows too stiff.

I do keep travel a travel pillow in my car. I'm usually the driver, so on long trips, I'll prop it between my shoulders and the back of the seat. It helps with achy shoulders from driving too long.

 

[amcnj]

Unfortunately I am part of the group that doesn’t have much success trying to sleep when traveling.

 

[mommasita]

I have a travel neck pillow and use it nightly in my bed as it gives my neck good support.
Why I have forgotten to pack it on my last two travel trips is one of those unanswerable mysteries.

I do this also, but backwards lol
I have herniated discs in my neck, and this is so supportive to me.
My husband asked if I knew it was the wrong way, duh, of course
