If you've never used this style of travel before, do yourself a favor and get this. This pillow isn't really a pillow, but more a cushy strap to keep your head in place. No more crick in your neck, no more waking up from the mercury switch effect, and no more leaning on the shoulder of the stranger next to you. I find I sleep much better and longer with this pillow.On the plus side, the pillow is headphone-friendly and the eye mask does a great job of blocking light. I did find it a bit difficult to adjust to the right tension to keep my head up, so I suggest you start tighter than you think you might need. Adjusting it is just a matter of moving the velcro tabs on the mask, so no big deal
