Travel Pillows Horseshoe shaped etc.

Does anyone have any experience or a recommendation about using a travel pillow or one of the horseshoe shaped neck rings when trying to sleep on a plane? Are either superior to the standard pillow provided by the airlines?





Thanks

The answer is definitely yes! I use the Samsonite inflatable neck ring. It holds your head and reduces drastically the effort you have to do to keep your head up. Even if you are seated (means that your seat is not tilted back totally) you are much more comfortable as your neck doesn%26#39;t suffer any effort.



I can%26#39;t consider staying in a plane for more than 6 hours without it.

I finally broke down and purchased one by Eagle Creek (also inflatable) and I loved it (I have neck problems and I%26#39;m short)! I%26#39;ll never travel on an airplane again without it.

UteBear: Have to agree with the other posters.... it keeps you from having that %26quot;bobble head%26quot; feeling when you%26#39;re just falling asleep and your head either lands on the person next to you, or if you%26#39;re on the aisle, having your head become a target for folks walking down the aisle or even yet, hit by the drink cart!!!

What about something to elevate your feet? I find that after about 4 hours, my feet start aching, and apart form the usual exercises, can do little to relieve it. I wonder why airlines don%26#39;t provide those foot rests you get in good coaches. I%26#39;m travelling to London %26amp; Paris in a few weeks and am considering purchasing an inflatable ottoman or similar. Does anyone have info on something suitable? Thanks

Magellan sells a folding foot rest, it%26#39;s kind of high at $25 and it weights 1 lb., so I would also like to find an inflatable one.
