TravelrestTravelrest Nest Memory Foam Travel Neck Pillow, Advanced Support for Long Flights, Patented Design for Optimal Relaxation, Compact, Ergonomic, and Washable, On-the-Go and Attacthes to Luggage - Gray

At long last, I have found a well-designed travel pillow that is actually fit for purpose.In my mind, I have always imagined that an effective travel pillow should function more or less like a neck brace to prevent the head from dropping / tilting too far right, left or forward whilst sleeping in the sitting position.After having viewed and dismissed many variants, this one caught my immediate attention as it appears similar to my vision of an ideal travel pillow. The shape appears to be ergonomically contoured for the shoulders and back of the neck, while both sides are also tall enough to support the head and prevent it from tilting.On inspection and test, I am truly amazed that it delivers all the benefits as advertised. So far I have used this whilst sitting on my sofa and on the bed watching TV for a few hours. It is extremely comfortable, the functional contour provides the correct fit and support as intended. The memory foam is firm yet soft enough to rest against, both the adjustable velcro and the rubberised back prevent the unit from movement. Although the cover material is manmade, it actually feels surprisingly pleasant on my bare skin.I have no doubt that this neck pillow would be perfect for travelling in all forms of transportation regardless of the seat location. It is also light weight and can be easily compressed down to 1/4 size in the supplied bag.My only negative criticism is the zipper pull because there are 2 very sharp metal prongs that can easily cause injury and may damage my furniture / clothing. I will most likely have to remove the pull and use a safely pin when the cover needs to be removed for laundering.Overall I am really impressed by the quality and function, the way it has been thoughtfully designed has eliminated all the common issues found in other variants on the market. Although relatively expensive, this neck pillow represents great value and really do stand out from the crowd. Highly recommended!!___________________UPDATE: I have used this for long haul flights and long distance car journeys, it did not disappoint. Because my head was supported in a comfortable upright position, I was able to quickly fall asleep and stay asleep.

I wanted to wait to write my review until I had the chance to use it on a long flight. I used it on a 9 hour flight and it was incredible. I always have difficulty sleeping on the plane but this pillow ensured I was able to comfortably sleep and had no neckaches. You may find it tricky to use with overhead headphones but I think it can work, as I did. Just have to work out an angle but otherwise this pillow deserves the good reviews it has.It comes with a small pouch to put your pillow in but I didn't want to squish it so I just used a normal carry on bag. My husband is 6 foot and I am 5'2 and we both have normal necks and it was great for both of us. When I tried it at home I didn't enjoy it but on the plane it worked!

When I first got this pillow I was really pleased as it felt soft and was brilliantly made really good value but when I put it on I felt very claustrophobic and could not move my neck at all!.. this could be good but not for me unfortunately I had to send it back Amazon’s refunded me with no quibble.

An update to my review below. Thank you to Travelrest for reaching out to me after reading my review. I have to add here, they provided excellent customer service, therefore I updated my review to 3 stars in light of this.After reading reviews of several travel pillows, I opted for the Travelrest one as it scored highly. I have neck issues so thought this might be an upgrade on the inflatable pillow I already owned - unfortunately, a costly mistake for me as it turned out.The travel rest pillow is bulky to carry and not easy to fold into the bag provided. The Velcro closing doesn’t seem great quality and I feel that it wouldn’t endure a lot of use!It felt soft against the skin but It was completely the wrong shape at the back of the neck so I couldn’t use it on my long-haul flights - Thank goodness I had put my inflatable one in my husbands hand luggage - i can choose the level of inflation so I can give my neck the support needed.I found the Travelrest pillow generally bulky & uncomfortable and couldn’t wear it at all.The travelrest pillow was more expensive than another pillow I ordered from Amazon and I couldn’t say it’s worth the extra money.Unfortunately I can’t recommend this Travelrest pillow as it was bulky to carry and too uncomfortable to use. I won’t be bringing it on any other trips.

This is not only the best travel pillow I've ever had, but the company has excellent customer service as well. Me and my wife purchased two Travelrest Nest pillows for our 4 month backpacking trip in Thailand. We used our pillows on long distance and short distance flights, on trains, buses and ferries and it did not disappoint. The pillow is just firm enough to keep your head in position but not too firm to hurt your neck. And the flat back makes it really perfect for flight seats. The shape and the design of the pillow is in such way that it keeps your head from falling to the side or falling forward and the memory foam shapes to your neck. After we returned home from our trip, one of the pillows had ripped in the back so I emailed the company. Within 24 hours, the co-founder of the company got back to me and offered to replace our pillow for free. A couple of days later we had a brand new pillow arrive at our house. Absolutely amazing!I highly recommend buying the Travelrest Nest pillow because not only are you getting an excellent product, but you are also dealing with a honest and trustworthy company that truly cares about their product and their customers.

Just what I needed for a long overnight flight. Great neck support and doesn’t push my head forward. Velcro strap is easy to adjust. Folds down really easily into the accompanying bag.
