Re: recommend a travel pillow

I don't know if your local Tescos do one, but my local one sells one of these microbead pillows that goes around the back of your neck. Feels really soft and comfortable.

Re: recommend a travel pillow

Get one of those Squishy pillows and take them. I always take mine with me as it shapes to anything so really comfortable.

Also if your on a long flight get some noise cancelling earphones or in ear earphones to block out the cabin noise. You'll thank me later for it. I spent 11hrs last week on a flight and after about 6 hours I took my CX300's out and the cabin noise was horrific!

Re: recommend a travel pillow

At the risk of sounding like a spammer you may be interested intwo new totally washable pillows available that are wonderful travel pillows, indoors and outdoors. I invented the SquidFace and ComfyRest pillows to alleviate the pain from my herniated disk while lying on my stomach in the sun with my head turned to the side to breathe. They can be enjoyed ergonomicallyfacedown (even on a laptray), on your side or back. If your plane is delayed their value will truly be on the airport floor for comfort. They can be viewed at SquidFace.com. Have a great trip.
