I was very hesitant to buy this neck pillow.I have many, many neck issues, cervical pain, migraines, the list goes on.I have never slept with a pillow, every pillow (or neck pillow) I’ve tried has always made it worse.It ends up being useless, and waste of money.I was flying out of the country for 17+ hours.I was nervous to have to sit upright for that long, and the pain I would be in.I spent countless hours researchingthings for flights that would make my pain as minimal as possible. So I could enjoy my trip.I was deciding between this one, and a wraparound one that you can lay your head to the side.I am so pleased that I chose this neck pillow.I have never found ANYTHING that doesn’t make my pain worse, let alone help me have little to no pain.What made me decide to buy over the other ones, is that it makes your spine stay aligned.It was even firm enough that when i would drift to sleep that my head stayed aligned.Which in my opinion is why I didn’t wake up with any neck pain or migraine. (🎉🥳)I have used this even out of flying.Driving for long periods, being at my desk typing, or even when I wake up and I can tell my neck is going to be bad that day.Very compact and easy to travel with.I love the strap in the back for headrests which also is a plus when flying.Not saying you will have the same experience, but I highly recommend you to try it.I have recommended this neck pillow everyone, and anyone who will listen.Some who have bought, have loved it as well.It’s not the cheapest thing ever, but I will buy it as SOON as something happens to mine.MY HOLY GRAIL!
