Hey everyone - What is the best travel pillow you’ve found? I fly often but can rarely get comfortable, despite trying quite a ... few pillows over the years. There has to be a good one out there that’s comfortable, portable and durable. Suggestions? Read more

The best I’ve found is the Alpaca Travel Pillow. It has the
portability, durability and comfort you’re asking for in a
design that really helps me sleep.
I can rarely
predict whether I’ll end up with an aisle
...
, middle or window seat due to last-minute trips. The
Alpaca is designed to rotate to provide more support where
you want it most (side to side, front or back) which makes
it great for this. And since long hours in any one position
can become uncomfortable, the rotating contoured design
means that you can shift the pillow and change your head
position throughout the trip, so you don’t arrive at your
destination with a kink in your neck.
Then you compress / roll it up and stow it in the included
carry bag. Super convenient.
I was initially hesitant on the price but it’s well worth
the money. A cheaper pillow that you never use is still more
expensive than a premium pillow that you use all the time.

Agree on the Alpaca but I would actually call out one other benefit of the contoured design: you can use it with headphones. Regardless of how I rotate the Alpaca ... , I can still wear my Bose headphones without smashing my ears or pushing my headphones out of place. Read more
@JamesHall - Are you referring to over-the-ear headphones, like the Bose QC and 700 Series? Do you think this would work with Beats Solo’s?

I’ve had good luck with the Travelrest. I have a long neck and just need something that keeps my head upright during cat naps on short jumper flights. The relatively stiff foam in the Travelrest helps with that.
I use the Travelrest and it works well for me. It can get
a bit hot during longer flights so I just alternate taking
the pillow off sometimes.
...
It’s also nice that you can pack it down
into a travel pouch so you don’t have it hanging off the
side of your luggage to pick up germs.

Agreed - the “pillowness” of the bcozzy is great for people really wanting more of a pillow feel. I can see how it wouldn’t be ideal for everybody, though. Especially on planes, most people might want more support.
@Renee White - It sounds like this would be a good option for my kids when we leave on vacation next month. Do you think it would work for them?

The Twist pillow is one you might want to check out, depending on what you want in a pillow. It has memory foam padding but also has an internal metal frame which “twists” into a number of supported positions. The result is a bit limited but I find that it works for me!
I’ve looked at this one before but was afraid that I would feel too much of the metal frame while trying to sleep. Is that a worry?
