Travel pillows are one of the most important accessories for people who love to invest their travelling time in sleeping. I am one of those and I know how important it is to be comfortable while travelling. You can’t just rely on any travel pillow. So here are a few travel pillows for you to choose for your comfortable journey.

The categories on which you should judge a travel pillow are:

  • Comfort
    The material should be soft and the design should be easy to use.
  • Support
    The pillow should not be flimsy, it should be firm enough to hold your hair and support it.
  • Portability
    The portability should not be tough. You can not carry a different suitcase for a pillow, right?
  • Looks
    It should look decent and not funny or should not look like a snake draped around your neck.

The shape of Travel Pillows

If you thought there is just one shape for travel pillows, here is something informative for you. There are different types of travel pillows. Help yourself!

U-shape

The most common shapes are U-shaped travel pillows. Many people love this because this is easily available. It provides simple support to the head. They are inflatable and provide amazing support to the neck.

J-shape

The J-shape is new in the market but fulfils the shortcoming of the U-shaped travel pillows. It not only provides support to the head but also the neck and the chin. The only issue with this is its portability. The shape makes it a little hard to carry.

Hourglass

Many travel pillows are made to support the head and the neck only. This one provides the support to not only head and neck but also back. This is the shape ideal for the people who have back issues.

Wrap Style

A wrap style travel pillow is wrapped around the neck like a scarf. It is easily portable and is great for travellers who like travelling light. The pillow is easy to pack. It is not one of the traditional pillows but you need to experience this beauty.

Rectangular

Rectangular pillows are just like normal pillows you use in the bed. They are meant for travel purposes and are compact which makes it easy to travel with. They are not much popular travel pillows as it does not provide good support to your back and neck.

Trtl Pillow

Trtl Pillow is actually a fabric scarf that wraps around your neck and has wires inside for the head support. But the wires are bouncy enough to not feel like you are wearing a neck brace, yet sturdy enough to give your neck the support it requires.

Dot&Dot Travel Pillow

Dot&Dot Travel Pillow has an adjustable spine that feels sturdy and you can twist it according to your preference. It is a support for your neck and your head. You need not worry about which seat are you in you can be comfortable with this pillow. It has a memory foam which acts as a great support for your neck as well as shoulders. The cover is made of cotton fabric that makes it soft and breathable. That helps in not making you feel hot or sweaty.

Portability can be an issue since it is not foldable. You have to carry it separately. That makes it a little bulky.

It is simple and subtle to carry. But since the material is cotton it can leave your hair a little frizzy. You might have to carry a serum with you to tame the frizzy hair. or girls can go for ponytails.

Cloudz Microbead Travel Pillow

Cloudz Microbead Travel Pillow is made up of microbeads as the name suggests. The microbeads make it a little stiff to move and can feel rough for support. The material is soft and that makes it easy to sleep on and is comfortable. It is easy to carry around too but cannot be deflated. You can either attach it in your hand baggage or carry it around your neck. It is comfortable overall but still steadier than most of the neck pillows.
