It can be used as a travel pillow to support your neck and head, or you can use it as a sleep mask blocking all the nuisances around you out.

Thermarest Compressible Pillow

For those of you who are fans of the traditional bed pillow, the Thermarest Compressible Pillow is for you. Ideal for your campers, backpackers, or frequent flyers. This travel pillow is unique with its choice of 4 different sizes and weights. So if you have a weight restriction you can opt for the compact small size. On the other hand, if weight is no issue, why not select the large or X-large. As they say, if you can, go big or go home! Those of you who like buying environmentally conscious things will be pleased to know this pillow is made of recyclable Polyester. So laying your head down on this pillow won’t weigh heavily on your conscience. You’ll feel light as a feather.

Aeris Memory Foam Travel Neck Pillow Kit

For those of you with loved ones constantly on the road, or hopping on-and-off planes, there’s no more thoughtful gift to give than the Aeris Memory Foam Travel Neck Pillow Kit. Not only do you get an aerated memory foam pillow, but you also get an eye sleep mask and a set of earplugs. All at a budget-friendly price. Comfort never came more cheaply. Whilst the Aeris is an ideal travel pillow for those of you who like to tilt your head back, some could find the memory foam too firm at the base of your neck, pushing your head uncomfortably forward with no support. This is where this travel pillow shows its versatility. If you don’t want your head leaning back in the classic U-shape pillow position, simply reverse the pillow while leaning forward. This will provide relief on the neck and provide welcomed chin support.

Trtl Travel Pillow

The Trtl Travel Pillow is the ideal travel companion for you if you’re looking for a travel pillow that is scientifically proven to provide you with ergonomic neck support. The travel pillow looks more like a soft and cozy scarf, which you wrap around your neck, and an inner rib on one side contours to your neck providing you with comfort and support. Now granted, this can be a tad annoying if you constantly keep shifting your head from side to side during sleep, as the rib contouring is only on one side of the travel pillow. If however, you tend to sleep more like a mummy in one fixated side position, this travel pillow is your new best friend. What’s more, it’s compact and lightweight, weighing in at a modest half a pound. So whether you pack it in your hand luggage or strap it onto your carry-on, having this travel pillow on board with you will take the weight off your mind and precious luggage allowance.

BCOZZY Chin Supporting Travel Pillow

The BCOZZY Chin Supporting Travel Pillow comes pretty darn close to being up there as a travel pillow. It’s no surprise then that it’s taken our top billing. Wrapping comfortably around your neck, it supports the natural alignment of your head and provides robust chin support. So no more nodding off with your head tilted forward in an awkward position. Where the travel pillow really shines is in its ergonomically designed flat back, which provides the perfect balance of support to your head and neck but doesn’t push your head forward as other bulky pillows can. As if that wasn’t impressive enough, it comes in two different sizes, large and X-large, allowing you to select the right size to give you a more tailored fit. What the BCOZZY doesn’t have is a velcro strap to connect the front overlapping pieces, which would make it pretty close to being perfect. As we said darn close to being awesome, very few things are perfect, but this travel pillow comes pretty close.
