00:01 Whether you're blessed with the ability

00:03 to fall asleep on red-eye flights

00:04 or struggle to catch a wink outside your own bed,

00:07 you and your neck will benefit

00:09 from a high-quality travel pillow.

00:11 Soft, cozy, and supportive in all the right ways,

00:19 these packable neck pillows are a must-have travel accessory

00:22 if you intend on getting any shut-eye at 40,000 feet.

00:26 Before you invest in one,

00:27 watch our editors demonstrate

00:29 how three of our favorite neck pillows perform in real life.

00:33 Any qualms about looking silly instantly disappear

00:35 as you put this travel pillow to use.

00:38 It's ergonomically designed to maximize neck support

00:41 using a genius combination of an internal padded frame

00:45 and a soft fleece wrap to comfortably cradle your head.

00:48 Plus, it weighs only half a pound

00:52 and folds up way more compactly

00:54 than your standard U-shaped pillow

00:55 to slip easily into any carry-on.

00:59 The Ostrich Pillow Go Neck Pillow is made with memory foam

01:03 and is secured with a Velcro band in the front

01:06 that allows you to adjust the fit

01:07 to support your chin just right,

01:10 ideal for anyone who has experienced

01:12 the dreaded forward head lurch

01:14 while attempting to sleep sitting up.

01:16 The pillow compresses down to almost half its size

01:21 into an included pouch for easy packability.

01:24 After your trip, the pillow's case is easily removable

01:28 and washable.

01:29 This travel pillow is essentially an infinity scarf

01:33 stuffed with polyester filling.

01:35 Loop it around your neck twice to use as a pillow,

01:38 pulling on one loop to adjust the support.

01:41 Its adaptable design means it also can be used

01:44 as a window pillow, lumbar pillow, and even an eye mask.

01:48 To pack it up, simply roll it up and stuff it away.
