We are a family of five who just did a 18.5 hour flight (Split into two legs) and I cannot sing the praise of these highly enough. Up until now we have tried every other kind of contraption there is but they never worked, they always ended up with no sleep and a sore neck.It was like you had gentle hands holding your head in place for the whole night. The inside is very soft and pillowy and the fabric is not scratchy or bothersome (one of my sons has pretty big sensory issues). I oddly enough did not feel claustrophobic, in fact the opposite was quite true where even when I was awake I would wrap myself up inside it and listen to music and was able to "pretend" I was in a nice relaxing open space and not in fact squeezed in like a sardine swopping air with a ton of people I don't know.I always felt that I could breathe and times when I wanted to lean my head a little, I could just adjust the tightness of the headband.A nice little added bonus was how good the eye mask is at blocking out light, way better than any eye mask I have ever worn before. I think that this was because of the moulded memory foam padding.My husband does a lot of travelling with work and likes to view himself as an "experienced international traveller". He just about burst his gut laughing when I showed him what I had bought for our flight saying there was no way he would be caught dead using it............Well I did persuade him to try it and he is a convert! In fact he has since been telling his colleagues about it.Really great product. Well made and easy to wash. It's a keeper.One handy hint: Fix the back part of it (the one with the clips) to the back of your seat as soon as you board and everyone is still standing/putting bags away etc. It is much easier to do it from a standing position rather than twisting around in your seat in a seated position during the flight.
