I have tried many travel pillows, but haven't found one that works really well for me on the upright seats of an airplane. I'm tall (6'2") so my head goes above the headrest on most airplane seats. Also, since most airplane seats don't recline much, I'm pretty much stuck trying (usually not very successfully) to sleep sitting upright. The problem here is that I get the dreaded head-bob which wakes me up and results in a sore neck. Other travel pillows I've tried just don't support my head enough to keep it fully upright and still allow my head to lean forward.The great thing about this pillow is that you fasten it to the seat headrest, then use the eye cover and/or chin strap to keep your head upright. Both my son and I used this on two long-haul flights recently and found that it works really well. We both used just the eye cover, as it provides enough support, but the chin strap is comfortable as well. The pillow does need to be firmly attached to the seat/headrest, but the eye/chin straps do not need to be tight in order to be effective. The great part is that since this pillow provides support in the totally upright position, there is no head nodding, and it allows you to sleep very effectively. It is also very compact and light and fits easily into the included bag.
