The comfiest pillows around: have you dozed off mid-flight, only to wake with a crick in your neck? Pack one of these cushy supports and you’ll arrive rested—not in pain
Categories: Back Pain* For restless sleepers
The curve of the DogBones NeckBones Chiropractic pillow ($10; amazon.com) supports your neck, no matter which way you snooze. Since it doesn’t wrap around like other travel pillows, you can rest on your side or peer out the window (just strap it to the back of your seat so it won’t slip). Available in 30 prints.
* For light packers
Two deep breaths is all it takes to fill the Eagle Creek Comfort travel pillow ($17.50; eaglecreek.com). We loved the cozy microfleece cover and the push-button valve that lets you control the pillow’s firmness. When deflated, it folds into a flat, 5-inch square that you can stash easily in your pocket or carryon. Available in four colors.

The Homedics Sqush Therapy massage pillow ($20; homedics.com for stores) is filled with tiny microbeads, so it molds to your neck and shoulders. (”Feels like a super-soft bean bag,” exclaimed one tester.) Powered by two batteries, the pillow also vibrates gently to massage tight muscles. Plus, it weighs in at just eight ounces. Available in red or blue. * For customized support
