Travel pillow

[maxiesmom]

Looking for recommendations for a nice travel pillow. I always end up with my elbows on the tray table and my face in my hands, kind of dozing. Is there a nice one that won't take up half of my carry on?

I have one similar to this from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Memory-Trave...pID=5170rD0cuvL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

Mine twists in various positions depending on what's comfortable, and it comes with a drawstring bag to keep it in. It's not small, but it has a clasp hook on it, so I usually clasp it to the outside of my carry-on bag and it hangs with the bag on my shoulder.

I have the Cabeau Memory Foam travel pillow. I bought it in the airport back in 2015 for $40 and it is still $40 wherever I look for it. I use it all the time in the ambulance when we are sitting at point. I have learned to sleep sitting up and I have actually been able to get some pretty solid sleep with this pillow. It holds my head up very well but it is starting to get a little "soft". It's almost 3 years old, and I use it 3-4 days a week, so the memory foam is starting to lose some of its support. I'm not ready to get a new one yet because it still works fine, but I might spring for a new color.

I bought this Casper nap pillow and found it perfect for traveling (car and plane). My DH tried it out and asked me to pick one up for him too. It’s like a regular pillow but mini sized and easy to “stuff” into a bag.

My sleep neck pillow is made by HiGear Design, Inc. (checked the fading tag, LOL) and is a few years old. Think I bought it from a NYTimes link for less than 20 bucks.

I have tried almost every style of travel pillow that exists. NONE of them work for me, but I am beginning to think that I'm the exception.

Try something out at home before you leave. See how far your head droops, and see what kind of neck support you need. If you find a pillow at home that works for you, measure it and then search for a travel pillow that meets that specific size of head droop/support.
