I’ve tried two or three other neck pillows, and this was the only one that actually allowed me to sleep on a recent plane trip. I have a short neck (so some pillows feel too big for me), and I could never get the head support I felt I needed to relax and fall asleep (I’m normally a side sleeper at home).The setup held my head up comfortably, but securely. I could feel my neck and jaw finally relax enough to fall sleep properly, and not wake up every few minutes out of discomfort of one sort or another. I wore a mask because the airplane air was so dry and unpleasant, and that also helped to make sleeping more comfortable.I’ve had two previous transatlantic trips with other pillows that were highly rated and that I had high hopes for, but could never sleep a wink. I’d almost given up that it was possible for me to sleep on planes.I took this pillow on a 3.5-hour flight that left early in the morning. So I was tired and ready for a nap by the time we hit cruising altitude. I ended up sleeping for about 2 hours and it was bliss!The only small issue I found was that if I slumped too much in my chair, it was possible to slip out the bottom a bit. But it was easily adjusted by straightening up and it wasn’t a huge deal.
