How would this compare to an inflatable air neck pillow? I always have trouble sleeping on planes and would really like a great pillow. Thanks.

I have not tried any other neck cushion fill type. An air system sounds more compact but I cannot imagine it would be as comfortable.

Much better than an inflatable. It's soft (but not too) and a great value for the $. My husband used it to nap sitting upright after his back surgery made it difficult to lay down - he'd often it put the opening toward the back because his head tends to fall forward when he's asleep (as I think most people's do). Highly recommend.

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.

This is 10 times better than inflatable. It is soft and squishy, but firm. My daughter and her husband were thrilled with them on a long trip. No sweating from the plastic. I get a stiff neck from inflatables, I didn't from this on. Worth every penny.

I always sleep with a pillow similar to this one. I liked this a lot. I used it on 8-9 hr flights. I also use it at home on the couch sometimes. It's a good pillow.

The pillow is pretty thick and hard...too hard for me. I have never used it and have been wanting to sell it on Craigs List. I have had neck surgery and have always liked using a thin down pillow that I could bunch up under my neck for support where I needed it. Want to buy my pillow at a good price?

This would work so well. While on the plane, coach bus or on the ferry- I didn't need to lean on the chair for support. I simply rested my chin on the third arm of the pillow and it was comfortable. The pillow comes with a flyer for several different positions you can use the pillow.

my pillow was firm not hard. It was much firmer that a regular pillow. I have been sleeping on it for abouta month and with the exception of me wanting it to be longer I don't have any other problems

It has helped my back (which I have had problems with for 40 years) and my ability to breath tremendously. I still have to use a neck pillow but it does seem to feel better since I've been elevating it. Remember, this is a high wedge and you do sleep at a pretty high angle.

Hello John, I would not purchase this neck pillow as it does not have a button that snap on the front. While sleeping, this pillow will move around with the slightest wiggle. I went from US to Africa with this and was unable to enjoy having it as it continued to move around. I suggest finding one with a button in the front as they are still comfortable and doesnt move.

Keep in mind that this pillow is very soft and easy to manipulate. If you normally like to use a firm pillow in a recliner, this might not be a good choice. I used mine as A head and arm rest during a flight and I absolutely loved it. Overall, it will depend on what you will use it for and what you personally need for comfort.

It's heavier than a normal neck pillow, but I like the weight and find it very comfortable. Because of the filling, it is easier to mold it to the most comfortable position. Personally I hadn't thought of using it as a travel pillow but if you have the room in your carry on to pack it, it would work.

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.

I think there would be a better pillow choice. I love my Medic-Air Back for traveling on planes, but it's only supposed to be slightly inflated which would add perhaps 2 1/2 inches of depth. It's a plus when I need a stowable pillow - fits nicely into my purse. I suspect it's not really designed for constant use.

I've used both but neither on the plane. I think the hoppy would fit better on the plane but I liked the breastfriend the best. Smaller to pack, easy to inflate and worked just as well as the original. I think if you like one of the regular pillows more, go with that for travel since they are very similar to the originals though the trial bopping seemed less 'full'.

yes it sure did for me. I loved the pillow but it was just not for my neck pain/injuries. if it had been a shorter rise (low rise) I'd have kept it. it does not push down much when you sleep on it and it holds it's firmness. yet it's not hard like some foam pillows are. if they ever make a low rise pillow I'm going to get it as I really wanted to keep it. for a good neck it would be perfect.

Yes, it is one of the best pillows I have used. Super comfortable to use first night. Cannot sleep as well if I am not using it. Hope this helps.

I can only speak about the twin size that I ordered.I ordered two of them. My guests that have slept on them have said they were most impressed with the comfort of the air mattress. And because they are a bit taller than other air beds, their construction seems to be a little different than a "ordinary" air bed. There was a recommendation on Amazon to add a thin foam topper for cushion, of which I did do. Again, extremely comfortable for an air bed.

Hi Becky. Well, for myself I just kind of pick up the pillow & shake it this way & that. Fluffs it up-also do this as I make bed in morning. I've also found that, while still lying with my head on pillow I can reach under at my neck & pull toward me & it puffs it up right at my neck (hmm. hard to explain). I've found this pillow to be better than other foam pillow I had & my husband says it's way more comfortable than his feather pillow. He's sleeping longer thru the night, too. Hope that helps a bit.

I don't know about the pillows on an airline. I would say this is a regular stuff. It seems firm at first but then it not so firm. I like to snuggle my pillow and it is very soft after a while. I have ordered about 8 of these pillows. After using them I think a little more stuffing would be nice. Would I order them again? I would.
