Just picked up a Cabeau Travel Pillow at the Dollarama. They are great quality. They have a flat back (so your head isn’t pushed forward) and high sides (to hold your head straight). I’ve been thinking of buying one for a while, and am pretty happy that I found one at the Dollarama. They usually go for around $45. Can’t wait to start travelling again.
Brand: Cabeau Travel Pillow
Dollarama Price: $4
Original Price: Around $45

Whoa! Pretty sure I paid $30-something for mine years ago. Worth it then, and a no-brainer now. It really does help me sleep during flights, however dorky it makes me look. Runner-up for The Wirecutter's best travel pillow too: https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/revi ... el-pillow/
Why waste space on an item like this when traveling. Just carry a towel in your carry on and roll it up and wrap it around your neck. Fold for right length before rolling. if its not thick enough roll the towel around a sweater (im sure you carry one in you carry one). Does almost the same thing.

There's definitely a time and place for it. Flying across the country to stay with family? Heck yeah! Backpacking across Southeast Asia? Left it at home. Also, it can be packed down reasonably small or velcroed to the outside of a bag/pack.
protip is to wear those backwards (opening at the back) or sideways in this case since it's flat on the back. You can't lean back much in those plane chairs so I find my head cranks forward anyway and would wake up with a sore neck. Also good for when you fall asleep in airport chairs!

This. I still prefer the inflatable variety for ease of storage. I wouldn't wanna leave anything that touches my face and neck dangling on the outside of anything around an airport tho
