BCOZZY Chin Supporting Travel Pillow

The BCOZZY Chin Supporting Travel Pillow comes pretty darn close to being up there as the best travel pillow. It’s no surprise then that it’s taken our top billing. Wrapping comfortably around your neck supports the natural alignment of your head and keeps your chin from falling forward. So no more nodding off with your head tilted forward in an awkward position. Where the BCOZZY Travel Pillow really shines is its ergonomically designed flat back. Which provides the perfect balance of bracing your head and neck but doesn’t push your head forward as other pillows can. It comes in 2 different sizes, large and X-large, allowing you to select the large for saving space or the X-large for greater comfort and more tailored fit. What the BCOZZY doesn’t have is an adjustable 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 the BCOZZY Chin Supporting Travel Pillow comes pretty close.

If however, you tend to sleep sitting upright more like a mummy in one fixed side position, this travel pillow is your new best friend. The Trtl Pillow is compact and lightweight, weighing in at a modest half a pound, so you can pack it in your carrying case with ease. Having this travel pillow on board with you will take the weight off your mind and precious luggage allowance, no matter what airplane seats you have.
