This Memory Foam Travel Pillow Kept Me Comfortable and Free of Neck Pain for a 14-hour Flight

"I'm no snob, but being stuck anywhere for 14-plus hours next to anyone is going to make me a little upset. I could be on a private island with my partner, and I'd probably be on edge if we had to stay seated the whole time. When you add the fact that the seat only goes back 15 degrees, and there's potential for a screaming kid somewhere aboard the aircraft, I was ready to have a meltdown (bigger and better than the one the imaginary kid would have, easily)."

"This luxurious, ergonomic memory foam pillow is different than any other travel pillow you've tried: it hugs your neck with 360-degree coverage, meaning no matter which way your head tilts on the plane, you're covered. The 10.5-inch by 9.5-inch by 6-inch pillow also compresses up to 60 percent, making it a compact, easily packable addition that can fit right in a carry-on. And best of all, it's got a machine-washable cover, too."

A traveler experienced heightened anxiety before a 14-plus-hour San Francisco–Singapore economy flight due to confined seating and potential disturbances. The traveler sought items to improve comfort, prioritizing noise-canceling headphones, a good book, and a neck pillow. The chosen product was the Ostrichpillow Go Neck Pillow, an ergonomic memory-foam wrap that provides 360-degree neck coverage. The pillow measures 10.5 by 9.5 by 6 inches, compresses up to 60 percent for packing, and includes a machine-washable cover. Initial skepticism about travel pillows changed after using this more supportive, brace-like design.
