The Main Types of Travel Pillows Include

• Inflatable U-Shaped Pillows – Offering neck support, a major plus point for inflatable pillows is that they are super small when deflated, making them easy to carry. Most require little effort to inflate.
• Solid U-Shaped Pillows – these offer support to the head and neck and are typically made from memory foam, therefore more comfortable for many people than inflatable varieties. What you get in comfort, you lose in convenience; even when a solid pillow can be compressed to a fraction of its size it will still be bulkier than an inflatable option.
• Wrap-Around Pillows – This type of pillow typically offers for the greatest amount of support for the head and neck. A disadvantage can be that the rigid internal features that provide great support can make the pillow bulkier to carry and store.
• Inflatable Rectangular Pillows – Although this type of pillow provides little by way of support, it is ideal for travelers who simply want something small, light, and compact to lean their head on for a bit more comfort on their journey.
• Solid Rectangular Pillows – This is usually one of the bulkiest types of travel pillows and does not offer any support while you sleep. However, if you plan to use the pillow in other places and not only while you travel, this pillow is perfect.

Things to Consider When Buying a Travel Pillow

There are four major considerations when looking for the best travel neck pillows: your preferred sleeping position, the size of the pillow, the pillow’s flexibility, and the cost.

Preferred Sleeping Position

People sleep in different positions, even when seated, and some pillows are especially suited to particular positions. Do you often move around a lot in your sleep? Does your head tend to loll forwards when you’re not lying down to sleep? Wrap-around designs often offer more support than U-shaped pillows. There are also products on the market that offer a great amount of chin support or support for the whole of your upper body, for example.

Size of the Pillow

As for the size of the pillows, you want to make sure they are small enough to easily fit in your carry-on luggage. The best inflatable travel pillow naturally needs less space than a solid pillow. However, a lot of the best travel pillows for long flights, are made from memory foam but don’t fright as they can be compressed down to a reasonably small size. After making sure the size is just right, time to talk money. How much should you spend on a travel pillow?

The Cost

While cost considerations should be secondary to quality and usefulness, the price of a product is, of course, a factor. So how much you should spend on a travel pillow all depends on how comfortable you want to be and are willing to spend. Generally, most of the best travel pillows are relatively inexpensive, usually costing less than $40 USD. Considering the comfort that a pillow can add to your travels and the amount of times that you are likely to use it, this is a fairly small sum to pay.

Travel Distance

Many travel long distances often while others take quick trips once or twice a year. For long-haul flights, it’s crucial to find a pillow that can keep the head supported and the neck relaxed long enough to fall asleep for several hours.

Surface Material

If there’s one thing we’re certain of, it’s that planes and other modes of public transportation are germ magnets.

Consider investing in a pillow that can be easily sterilized; travelers will welcome the myriad of options with removable covers, too.

Filling

Travel pillows come stuffed with a diverse array of materials – from cotton and polyester to memory foam and inflatable options.

We always encourage travelers to think about their priorities and preferences when it comes to a travel pillow, things like the ability to compact the pillow in size for easy packing, the support level or added features like adjustability. These are all impacted by the type of filing in the travel pillow, some are easier to manipulate than others.

Functionality

These days travel pillows can provide more than just a comfy place to rest one’s head. We’ve reviewed pillows with pockets for media players and some that will help block out light and sound if desired. Fancy, right?

For people who want a travel pillow that will ease some of the discomfort of sleeping upright on a bumpy plane ride, we’ve identified the following key features:

• Comfort and support – The pillow should offer ample support for the weight of your neck and head but not restrict your movements or feel too tight.
• Portable (but not inflatable) – You don’t want your travel pillow to take up so much space in your carry-on that you can’t bring other things you need, so it should compress to a smaller size. Barring that, there should at least be a way to clip it to the outside of your bag or luggage. Inflatable pillows are easy to pack but should be avoided. They inevitably spring a leak, often sooner rather than later.
• Soft – The material should feel plush against your skin but not trap so much heat that it’s uncomfortable to wear.
• Universal fit (or as close as possible) – The pillow should allow space for people to sleep with a ponytail or accommodate bigger hair, as well as a whole variety of head shapes and sizes and neck lengths.
• Sleeping styles – It should also accommodate people who move their head in any direction while they sleep. It should also work in a window, a middle, or an aisle seat.
• Speed of compression/decompression – In case you need to quickly stow your pillow before exiting the plane, or if you want to catch some shut-eye in a moment’s notice, it shouldn’t take too long to stuff the pillow into its carrying case or unfold it to full size.
• Weight – Ideally, the pillow shouldn’t add undue burden to your carry-on. While inflatable pillows will always be the lightest option, memory-foam pillows don’t weigh much more and can offer significantly more comfort.
• Grip/traction – Your head will likely move around a bit while sleeping on a plane, especially if there’s turbulence. So any kind of grip or traction around the bottom of the pillow will help it stay in place and keep you snoozing.
• Machine washable – As you might expect from a vessel that ferries hundreds of people back and forth across the sky on a daily basis, planes can be filthy. So you’ll want to be able to wash the whole pillow—or at least its cover—before you take it on your next trip.
