How do these compare with traditional neck pillows- inflatable or memory foam?

For me, there's no comparison. I have a couple of traditional "horse collar" pillows (one inflatable, one filled with bean-bag beads). They push my head forward uncomfortably and don't keep my head from flopping forward. I've used the Travelrest pillow on long (12-14 hour) flights to Asia and it provided dramatically more useful head support. I could actually sleep without snapping awake when my head slumped, and I didn't wake up with a sore neck. For me, this product represents a huge design improvement over traditional neck pillows.

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.

Useless pillow - see my review. The traditional inflatable U-shaped neck pillow is better. This shoulder version just wouldn't stay in position so many how much time I spent trying to adjust it. I had spent time at home practicing inflating and moving the pillow around for comfortable positions but once in an actual plane seat I annoyed the beans out of my seat neighbor.

It's more comfortable than a traditional neck pillow because it doesn't wrap around the back of your neck, which means it doesn't push your head forward.

Traditional U-shaped neck pillows push your head forward in an unnatural position. The Travelrest pillow allows you to lean into the pillow without pushing your head in an awkward position. It can be worn on the left or the right side. Easily loops onto the "wings" of the back of the seat or can be work in our "messenger bag" style. Both ways of using allow you to fully relax your body and lean into the pillow, to fall asleep and stay asleep longer. We recommend watching our instructional videos before using the first time.

I have experienced only one other as comfortable and it was not memory foam. I perspire more than used and this iPedic being memory foam can be a bit hot.

They are a different kind of feal, they are a firm support but with a soft feel. They are on the thinner side as far as thickness. I am a side sleeper and I wish I would have gotten a slightly thicker pillow, but as far a the support I would say they are firm.

It is small chucks of memory gel foam, packed inside a case. The pillow I have feels like a memory foam pillow, but is looser than the single piece foam pillows. It's not too cool for me, perhaps the shredded filling allows better air circulation? Before I bought another pillow, though, I would probably buy an inner zipper case and cut the existing foam into small pieces, and stuff those in the zipper case. Make your own shredded memory foam pillow.

The semi roll pillow pillow is great for neck support. My husband I find that it works best without a thick regular pillow underneath. We even take them when we travel. For us they are the best amount of softness to be comfortable.

The 4 of these pillows I have purchased have been a rather firm and heavy foam, and firmer than most regular pillows I've had, but definitely not "hard as a rock." They softened quite a bit after they warmed up from sitting outside in the box as well. Try it out for a couple of nights - I would return it for a replacement if it seems unreasonably hard.

They aren't hard. They are firm and comfortable. I have neck problems, and these pillows are just the right size. They fit under the crook of my neck and give me good neck support. I hope I have answered your question.

I am sorry, but I don't know. However, these pillows have usually lasted a long time for me... Several years.

This foam behaves like a dense memory foam, it deforms slower than regular foam but recovers quickly. So I guess it is a stiffer version of memory foam than what we see in pillows and mattresses. Hope this helps.

It is completely different. This is just a cotton fill as the Tempurpedic is a memory foam. The memory foam will last a LOT longer and is more firm. This is just a cheap cotton fill roll. Flattens out relatively quickly, but at 14$ for two is much cheaper. Also the Tempurpedic pillows are pretty heavy so if you're thinking of this for travel etc, this light weight might work better, you can squish it to fit in a suitcase.

It's not either of them actually. They aren't exactly the same. But they are nice. Your head sinks in a bit but without the pillow flattening out. And honestly there wasn't much difference between. Sorry if this doesn't really answer your question.

The pillows are foam, but they are not hard. They are soft, plump, and comfortable to sleep on.

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

Memory foam springs back after being compressed...this item does that, so I would have to say its memory foam. Sure is comfortable!

after comparing by buying both, the Temperpedic will take longer for your adjustment, the regular memory foam is softer. Problem is, the memory foam gives way more easily. I think the temperpedic is better made, but much harder. It is something for you to consider. I have awful neck arthritis and both work very well in allowing me a good night's sleep and the ability to be very active during the day. I just see that I will be buying replacements with my memory foam one where I think the temperpedic is going to last me a very long time

The DreamFoam 3inch memory foam is very nice. It is warm, but not overly warm.I do not know the difference between gel and memory foam.
