Advice On Travel Pillows Please.

[muff13]

I'm heading off to South Africa on an overnight flight and think that I would be better to buy a travel pillow. I do not want an inflatable one as believe that they are not very comfortable but want one that can be either compressed or does not take up too much room. I have been looking at this one and wonder if anyone had any experience or it.It appeals because it is not too bulky. But I am concerned that it only supports one side of my head so if I turn my head I will have no support.

Alternatively should I just go for a standard memory foam one and try and squash it into my hand luggage. One such as this.

Or does anyone have any suggestions of pillows that they have used and found comfortable and supportive.

All I can say is that we bought the 'bulky' type at the departure lounge prior to a 13 hour flight. Couldn't use them in the end - so uncomfortable. Probably only of any use if you have a window seat, where you can lean against the side of the aircraft.

Outdoor shops such as Blacks/Millets have ones that stuff in a sack that are soft but are quite small. I haven't used the neck support pillows so cannot advise on that type.

If it's a decent airline, they'll probably have blankets which you can fold into a pillow. Or maybe even pillows.

Agree with zacs, long haul flights may offer pillows. Check before you buy.

I have bought the biggish on with soft fabric and squishy soft filling almost like bead things inside. Was very comfortable

Those links don't work for me anyway I have the standard squishy one which quite cleverly fold into a normal pillow shape or the usual u shape. I have to be honest, there's no way I can sleep like they show in the pictures and if I could sleep on a plane I wouldn't need one anyway so I find them useless. Most airlines do provide a rather small pillow, you might be better to fold up a big sweatshirt or something.

I usually just fall asleep anyway, without a pillow - but then I can sleep on a line :-)
