I have been trying a lot of pillows as I have been traveling internationally for over 12 hour non stop flights. The problem with regular pillows is that when you finally fall asleep, your head falls forward waking you up again.This pillow fixes to your seat head rest and you can place it around your neck so that you stay in place when you fall asleep without your face falling forward and waking you up again.There is a eye mask that attaches using velcro so you have support for both your neck and and for your eyes.Good product.
