Product Information, Not A Review

Specs, pricing and buying notes taken from the manufacturer so you can compare this against whatever else you are looking at. I have not had this one in my hands. When it goes through real use it gets rewritten as a full review, with a rating and my own photos.

What Stands Out

  • Chin support is the design difference: it stops the head falling forward, which is what actually wakes you up on a plane
  • 100% memory foam that softens to body heat rather than staying a rigid bolster
  • Compresses into an included bag, so it does not hang off a backpack like a horseshoe
  • Works in a car, train and bus seat as well as a plane
  • The best-selling travel pillow on Amazon by a wide margin

What To Check

  • Memory foam is warm against the neck on a hot flight
  • Bulky even compressed, next to an inflatable pillow
  • Too tall for some people in a seat with a headrest that pushes the head forward
  • The cover needs washing and is the part that wears

What This Is

The travel pillow that addresses the actual failure mode. A standard U-shaped pillow stops your head falling sideways and does nothing about it falling forward, which is the direction it goes.

Memory Foam Versus Inflatable

Foam is more comfortable and takes more space. Inflatable packs to nothing and never feels as good. If you fly a few times a year with a carry-on, take the foam. If you are counting grams, take the inflatable.

One Practical Note

Clip it to the outside of your bag and it becomes the thing that catches on every seat back in the aisle. The compression bag exists so it can live inside the bag; use it.

The Short Version

Chin support is the reason to pick this shape: forward head-drop is what actually wakes you up. Pack it inside the bag, not clipped outside.
