Soft: The material should feel plush against your skin but not trap so much heat that it’s uncomfortable to wear.They inevitably spring a leak, often sooner rather than later. Inflatable pillows are easy to pack but should be avoided. Barring that, there should at least be a way to clip it to the outside of your bag or luggage. Portable (but not inflatable): You don’t want your travel pillow to take up so much space in your carry-on that you can’t bring other things you need, so it should compress to a smaller size.Comfort and support: The pillow should offer ample support for the weight of your neck and head but not restrict your movements or feel too tight.If your neck is much longer or shorter than this pillow’s 5-inch wall, though, you might prefer the fit of one of our other pillow picks. If the Travelrest fits your neck, it’s an excellent pillow. It also doesn’t let you adjust the fit, like our two wrappable picks: the Turtl and the BCozzy. While the memory foam feels plush, it’s also quite firm this offers excellent support, but not much give. Our only complaint is that the Travelrest’s high walls, while supportive, can push over-ear headphones off of the ears of people with shorter necks. While it doesn’t pack flat, the Travelrest weighs less than a pound and compresses to a quarter of its size when rolled into its Velcro-strapped carrying case. The pillow’s cozy velour exterior is removable and machine-washable. This pillow’s spongy memory foam cushions the entire circumference of your neck, preventing your head from leaning far in any direction, and its adjustable Velcro strap ensures it can fit most necks.

The Travelrest also has rubber grip dots to prevent slipping while sleeping.

Most other pillows have a rounded back, which pushes your head away from the headrest. The uniquely angled back on the Travelrest Ultimate sets it apart from other travel pillows because it can lay flat against the seat back.
