Travel In Comfort: Find The Best Travel Neck Pillow
Contents
A good neck pillow can keep your head from slumping and help you avoid neck pain while traveling.
The best travel neck pillows have a soft cover, minimal seams, and pack small and light. A nap in transit won't replace a full night, since adults need 7 or more hours of sleep, but it can help you arrive less wiped out. I’ve listed five popular options below.
J-Pillow Travel Pillow
First on the list is the J-Pillow Travel pillow (by JPillow). Its J shape lets you rest your head against the plush top while the hook supports your chin.
A snap loop makes it easy to carry on your arm or luggage, and the whole pillow is machine washable. Customers like that it squeezes into a carry-on more compactly than a typical U-shaped pillow.
Travelrest Ultimate Travel Pillow
Second is the Travelrest Ultimate Travel Pillow. This inflatable pillow runs diagonally across your torso so you can lean to one side.
Travelers like that it’s easy to inflate, deflate and pack. Straps let you attach it to the seat or seatbelt so it doesn’t shift while you sleep.
Memory Foam Neck Pillow
Third is the Memory Foam Neck Pillow by MemorySoft. It has a memory foam core, a removable washable velour cover and a travel bag.
Adjustable toggles in front give you a snugger fit and let you clip it to your bag. Customers like the soft cover and that it packs down small.
Cabeau Evolution Memory Foam Travel Neck Pillow
Travelers rate the Cabeau Evolution Memory Foam Travel Neck Pillow highly for comfort. Its raised sides support your head and cheeks, so your neck is less likely to fall into awkward positions.
It has a soft cover and adjustable clips for extra support, and it squishes into a compact carry case. Check the listing for what accessories come in the box.
Trtl Soft Neck Support Travel Pillow
Last is the Trtl Soft Neck Support Travel Pillow. It wraps around your neck like a scarf, with a support frame inside, and closes with hook-and-loop fastener.
It’s machine washable, covered in soft fleece and adjusts to most necks. Because it’s much smaller than a regular U-shaped pillow, it fits easily in a carry-on or purse.
And there you have it; my top travel pillow review in a nutshell. Which one will be the best travel pillow for you? If you travel a lot, experience neck tension or have had trouble sleeping as a passenger in any form of transportation, each of these has unique qualities to suit your taste and needs. They are easy to pack, lightweight and easy to clean.
One more tip: on trips longer than 4 hours, the CDC advises you move your legs often and walk around every 1 to 2 hours to lower the risk of blood clots. A comfy pillow shouldn't keep you in one position the whole way. Happy travels!
