For anyone who’s been on a plane will know, the airline pillows aren’t really pillows, but they better than other transportation providers who provide none. Long travels become agonizing as you twist and turn in your seat, trying to find a comfortable position to sleep. Times like these, you hope to get a window seat so you can attempt to cozy yourself in the corner, and you’d still wake up with neck strains.

A travel pillow is a great Thanksgiving gift idea that can be used for either travel, or at home watching TV. They can relieve any neck tension or stress, by providing correct posture alignment through comfortable means.

How to pick a travel pillow…

*Recommendation: Choose a travel pillow with quality stuffing*

Most blow-up-yourself plastic pillows are often cheap, both in price and in quality. Flexible, and travel convenient as they are, they tend to leak and deflate easily, especially with to the amount of body pressure. These do not usually last long, offer no real support, and the plastic seal lining can be a little irritating on the bare neck.

Pillows with stuffing are preferable, and can be found at prices less than $50. Even though they’re not as compact as the inflatable pillows, it offers great support and comfort for all users. They usually come with a removable lining that offers easy cleaning, and soft comfort when used. Shapes vary from your regular rectangle pillow; to the “C” shape pillow that allows your head to naturally rest against the back seat.
