Neck Pillows

Does anybody have a neck pillow they recommend? We have a couple of the normal u-shaped neck pillows, and they work OK for my husband, but I tend to drop my head forward when I fall asleep on a plane and there's no support for my chin/front of my neck. We are preparing for a 17 hour flight to Singapore for a cruise in 3 weeks so I'd like something a bit better.

 

I've seen a lot of references to the TRTL pillow (http://amzn.to/2mC7hHx) but it just doesn't look like it can possibly provide much support at all. It's basically a scarf with a chin rest from what I can see.

 

There's also the BCOZZY which I see is a recommended item on Amazon (http://amzn.to/2D8JqpU) This one looks like it will provide a bit more support, but I'm worried it might be too thick where it doubles over on itself.

 

Has anybody used either of these before? Do you have a different one you'd recommend that supports the entire neck?

My DW just got in the mail the TRTL from Amazon. She still has to use it in a few days for our flight to Singapore from NY. It is not bulky like the U shape neck pillow. We noticed that the embedded hard wire to keep your neck in place is just on one side, unlike the U shape where you can lean on either side. Will let you know if it is any better to use for a long haul flight,

I use this instead and it works great - I put the airline pillow behind my back to wedge in and the blanket around my shoulders - have gotten a full night sleep with this:

Taking a sleeping pill is also helpful, but this is the travel pillow that has worked best for me hands down.

Mrs. Ldubs replaced our foam neck pillows with inflatable ones. They work a lot better than I thought they would. You can make them as fat or skinny as you want to fit your needs. I find I am most comfortable when I leave mine relatively flat. Added benefit is deflated they take up little room in your carry-on.
