It has a convenient snap closure which allows for a tighter fit around your neck, meaning your head is less likely to bobble around on awkward angles. PROFESSIONALLY RECOMMENDED: The Cabeau pillows are orthopedic expert-approved and recommended to support any seated activity that tires the muscles supporting the head. Case-in-point is the AirComfy Ease, a compact and versatile travel pillow that retails at nearly half the cost of many other options in this review.

It requires an illustrated guide to do so, however, and on its own doesn’t offer very much neck support.Alternatively, the Go Neck Pillow can be left in its 360-degree position and wrapped around your luggage’s handle.

The S3’s memory foam manages to be soft, springy and supportive all at once; it’s firm enough that it kept our head from slouching too far to the side but not so firm that it dug into our cheeks and ears (unlike another popular memory foam model we tested).

Our verdict: “I’d say this pillow is less about neck support and more about soft and cosy scarf–meets–pillow hybrid. The Neck’s Evolution S3 also includes o ur revolutionary rai sed side supports and seat strap system that keeps your head in place as you drift off to sleep – and stay that way - on flights and on all high-back seats . But for those who focus on efficiency in packing, it is difficult to beat the packed size of the inflatable pillows in this review. Plus, the storage bag has its own drawstring closure to ensure the pillow stays compact and in its case. Overall these are minor criticisms for a travel pillow that otherwise offers superb support — whether traveling by car, plane, or train, the Evolution S3 easily earns our top spot for a portable pillow.

Though this specially designed travel pillow is better for naps than extended rests, the Sunany is more versatile than it appears and is a worthy travel companion, particularly for those of us who dream of faceplanting into a deep slumber. I’ve tried a few travel pillows in my time but resolved a few years ago that none of them work and regardless of whether they inflate, are filled with beans or memory foam, they’re a design failure.Product description: The Evolution S3 incorporates our patented ergonomic design with high technology features and fabrics. The S3’s cover is also fully removable and machine-washable — a must when it comes to something that touches highly trafficked surfaces like airplane seats.
