Would this be a good pillow for use on an airplane?

I guess it could be but I would not recomend it for your head . I used it to sit on in my car , I hope this helps -

Size-wise, yes, but it's made of a plastic(?) material - one side is smooth and one side is textured - so you might want to slip it in a pillowcase.

I would say no. A standard neck pillow would be more practical and comfortable.

Yes.... I use it for camping, but see no reason why it couldn't be use on an airplane.

I think it would be fine for a back sleeper. You can manipulate it's size and fluff it or make it a bit flatter. I use two of the travel size pillows together, but I prefer a ticket pillow, while someone like my husband works think it's too much. I love the my pillow but I know it's not unanimous as some Co workers have returned theirs. I go hope this is helpful. At leas if you decide to try you're not stuck with it if it's not you're type.

I have not tried this. This pillow was a gift for a friend who needed it when sitting outside and in fact I had additional fill added to the pillow before it was sent to make it more comfortable. Sitting on a hard surface such as a bench is very painful for my friend without a soft cushion. This particular pillow purchase was never intended for travel, so I cannot answer your question, unfortunately.

I think you would find it useful. On an airplane seat you might be able to attach it to the seat. The velcro fastening makes it meet a variety of needs. Even if you have it behind your neck and your head holds it in place it is helpful. Because of the way the pillow is shaped and its density, I like it better than a typical C-shaped travel pillow. However, on a long flight I would consider having both types of pillows to be more comfortable. I have an inflatable C pillow and an inflatable back pillow like the one at this link that I travel with. The inflatables are so easy to travel with.

It depends. I would think it's to big to bring on a plane. Are you riding in first class or coach? It's 3-4xs as big as a neck roll pillow but much smaller than the regular sized maternity pillows.

In my experience with this pillow, I would not use the word "firm." I can use it sleeping on my back or on my stomach. It has given me a 5-star experience. And, it fits in carry-on.

The pillow will not provide you with the same support as a fixed window; however, it does provide great support in the middle seat, which is where my wife was seated in a cross-country flight. She was able to sleep comfortably for a good portion of the flight while seated in the middle seat.

I think it would be a great idea to use it on a plane, it doesn't take up very much room at all and it folds up and fit in a little bag.

I wouldn't use it as a travel pillow because it is not designed to support the neck. It is great for calming sore or tense neck muscles, but would not work well as a pillow.

It worked in a tight airplane seat so on a train where there is more room to twist around it should be fine. It's good if you are a side sleeper. Head doesn't fall forward as with regular airplane neck pillow.

You can stuff this pillow into a shoe bag easily. It would probably fit in a bag 2/3rds the size. About 8" x 8" This pillow also has a handle that would fit over the pull handle on a carry on luggage.

It's for children and young adults. Not for dogs...kind of like a stuffed animal. My 16 year old neice used it for a long flight... Just use a regular flat pillow for yor dod!

You could use it as a soft seat but it is a little bulky. It would have to be a long flight or you have something like hip pain to make it worthwhile. Have not tried to get it past TSA.

I'd used ah inflatable pillow before, which was OK. I actually like the Travelrest better, although nothing is perfect for a long, cramped plane ride (last one was 11 hours). What works best for me is to fully inflate it, get it positioned, and then slowly let some air out until it feels comfy for me. What I particularly like about it is that it works even with the seat upright, and I don't ever recline my seat (in steerage, where I fly) because it's awful for the person behind. So you might say Travelrest is good for two: me and the person behind me.

I think it is very much worth it, because of the snaps at front. That is what really makes this pillow better then the rest. It keeps your head in place much better. Plus you can wash the cover. I have also used - Travelrest - The Ultimate Inflatable Travel Pillow on 12 hour flight and it was useless, wish I had the Cabeau much sooner.

I have never owned an inflatable air neck pillow. I imagine that the memory foam pillow would be easier to use on planes because it can compress into a smaller form and you don't have to inflate it. The memory foam would be less firm than an air pillow.
