TRAVELREST Nest Ultimate Travel Pillow, Neck Pillow for Airplanes, Blue

This pillow is designed with total support in mind. It has a nice Velcro strap at the chin to keep in place for the thrashers out there. The angle at the back of the pillow fits squarely with the back of whatever chair you’re in. It keeps your head straight, but you can still put the full weight of your head to the left or the right and it won’t give in and still supports your head fully. The support of this pillow helps with migraines to keep your neck supported when you feel like your head is going to explode. Between the neck pillow and an ice pack you’ll get through that migraine better. Not sure how it cleans up yet as I just got it on the recommendation of a fellow traveler, and I couldn’t be happier with this suggestion. I’m no fashion diva but I do wish it came in more than two colors.

This a sturdy travel pillow. Seems supportive enough. It’s a little high therefore only 4 stars.

Although it doesn’t collapse as much as an inflatable travel pillow, the memory foam can be condensed into a smaller size into the bag that’s included. And, more importantly, it’s the most comfortable neck pillow I’ve ever used. Actually get some sleep using it. Understand now why the NYT Wirecutter reviewer recommended it. Excellent for red-eye flights and international plane travel. Handy clip is on the bag, so you can clip it onto your carry on luggage to carry to and from the plane.

Like many people, I bought this based on the Wirecutter recommendation. I have three points (one positive, two negative) that, taken together, cause me to not recommend this neck pillow. 1 (positive): The pillow absolutely supports the head and prevents it from flopping over, as most of us do when we fall asleep sitting on an airplane. 2 (negative): The material, memory foam, is insanely hot. It is essentially is like wrapping a thick insulator around the neck. I found my neck was always sweaty from using it, and often my head as well. 3 (negative): the back of the pillow juts out significantly, which actually forces the head forward. It's a weird design, because most airplane seats are essentially flat, so of course the part of the pillow that juts out will cause the head to push forward. It was very uncomfortable, essentially forcing me to take it off. So, taken together, this pillow simply doesn't work. I don't understand how some people are able to make this thing work.

My husband and I just came back from our "trip of a lifetime," NYC to Auckland, NZ, a 17 hour flight (15 hour return)! I was really worried about how the trip would affect our first few days in New Zealand, especially since my husband has always been uncomfortable in economy class and has never been able to sleep on a plane. I looked into an upgrade to business class, but it was thousands of dollars. I couldn't do that, but I could get the best travel pillow on the market, the Travelrest Nest. The pillow design is a game-changer. The angled back of the pillow fits against the seat on the plane so it places you comfortably. The pillow and the seat are not fighting each other. Then, the extra tall sides of the pillow actually work to stabilize your neck, preventing any wobbles or the dreaded "crick" in the neck. It was super comfortable for sleeping. I also loved that the pillow comes with a bag that helps you compress the pillow when not in use. It's easy to stuff the pillow in and then you can fold it again to reduce the size quickly and easily. Again, when you're stuck in economy class, this sort of innovation is a game-changer, as ever square inch is precious! My only complaint is really with the airline, not the pillow. The cabin was overly warm and so the soft fleece fabric of the pillow added to the feeling of being overheated and stuffy. Everyone in the cabin was hot, so I don't think the pillow was to blame, but I did feel like I needed to cool off during the flight and the pillow was the first thing to go. Overall, I found this pillow to be a miracle worker. We were able to sleep (even my husband!) and we felt refreshed enough to enjoy day-one in NZ! I would love to be able to pay for business class, but short of that, I highly recommend the Travelrest pillow. It's a secret weapon for the common man!

This is the best travel pillow I've found in a low time. You really have to try it out to appreciate the ergonomic design;it curves around your shoulders and has a high back that cradles your head but also is a flat back so it rests against the seat without feeling like a rolled towel digging into the back of your neck. A lot of travel pillows talk about preventing front head-bob but to me this doesn't actually matter in real life, because head-bob only occurs when sitting upright but when you recline head-bob doesn't occur since your head is naturally falling back onto a reclined seat. That being sai, it head-bob is important to you this pillow is basically par-for-the-course in preventing which is mediocre, but like I said that doesn't even matter when reclined. The most important feature for me is how a pillow feels when I lean my head to the side toward my shoulder which is how I usually sleep on planes, and this pillow feels perfect. It's supportive yet soft. A lot of stiffer pillows or cervical-brace style feel like they dig into my cheek or neck and become uncomfortable after 10minutes, but not this pillow! Travel pillows are highly personal and I have hated some pillows that others have loved, but I would highly recommend anyone at least give this pillow a try!

Jury is still out. This is the most comfortable neck pillow I've used to allow my muscles to relax while providing stability. It's never felt hot. The downside is the single attachment strap which somehow tore loose within a couple of days. A $50 product should be better than that

I purchased this after reading an enthusiastic review in The Times "Wirecutter". It LOOKED and sounded perfect. And it may be for some, but not me. If you're like me and the millions who suffer from various disorders of the neck or top of spinal column, you'll know that long flights are tough and take a toll. This product seemed the ticket. I should say that, as advertised, the memory foam is great, it does fold up to a relatively small size, it's soft to the touch, well-made, and has some backing material that keeps it from sliding up-and-off the top of your seatback, into the space of the passenger sitting behind. All very good! Yet, the proof is in the using. While it feels great when first strapped on, for my neck problem (arthritis) the depression for the neck is not deep enough. It felt as if my neck was still being pushed up, off the seatback. This may have been simply a symptom of my problem, and not a problem of the product, but it seemed the former at the time as I tried several different ways. Also, the sides seem oversized. They tend to get in the way. The product seems to still requires some refinement, or the maker could consider offering variations on the theme.

I bought this prior to embarking on a 14 hour flight and was able to fall asleep without worrying I would wake up with a crick neck. So glad I purchased this item - very happy result.

My favorite pillow for travel. Supports the neck well and feels soft on the skin

El producto fue lo que esperaba, tiempo de entrega antes de lo establecido, todo muy bien.

Esta es la mejor almohada de viaje que han inventado. Es gruesa, con forma anatómica y de viscoelástica. La he usado para un viaje en avión de 20 horas y he dormido súper bien gracias a ella. Te sujeta la cabeza perfectamente, te olvidas de torticolis y dolores de cuello. Es la diferencia real entre poder conciliar el sueño o no, y en viajes largos esto es muy importante. El aspecto es raro, como un poco un collarín ortopédico pero justamente eso es lo que hace que sea ergonómica. Se puede chafar un poco y guardar en la bolsa que trae. Yo la recomiendo 100% si tienes que hacer un viaje largo y quieres dormir. Hay otras más baratas en el mercado pero no tienen nada que ver, esta les da mil vueltas. No hay otra mejor, de verdad.

Ik gebruikte het kussen voor een lange autorit van 8 uur om 's nachts te kunnen slapen. Het werkt prima.
