10 Reviews: Best Travel Pillow for Car Seat (Dec 2023)

For all sleepy heads, this pillow is made especially for you! You will feel like sleeping on the cloud because it is super comfortable and soft. Its unique shape allows you to sleep in any position with holes for your hands so you no longer need to support your head. With this pillow, you can also cover your face while sleeping so you can sleep well without fear of looking ugly 🙂

Wow, I used the Cloud Sleeper on a flight to and from Europe recently and it was so comfortable. It inflates and deflates super easily and allows you to get into many more comfortable positions than the typical collar pillow. I also found that I didn't have to put it on the tray table but it fit comfortably on my lap with my head forward in the pillow. The pillow fit easily into its case and was stowed away for the next trip. I would highly recommend it.

As the name suggests, this pillow is shaped like the letter J. It’s a bit odd. But it will protect you from the hardness of the window glass when you fall asleep. With such a design, this pillow is able to provide a three-way support system, namely on the head, neck, and chin. You no longer need to repeatedly change sleeping positions. This pillow will be a comfortable home for your head.

I am retired and take long bus trips. My husband always puts me against the cold window. Love ❤️ the pillow as I was able to put my head comfortably against it and sleep. Very smushy and soft. Like having my own teddy bear.

At first glance, this neck pillow looks very stiff and hard. However, in fact, it stabilizes your head and neck to prevent neck strains both when sleeping or doing other activities such as playing games. All around it is equipped with mesh vents to keep you cool under pressure. If you want to take it traveling, you can compress it and stow it into the carry bag. It doesn’t take up much space at all.

Didn't know if these travel pillows really worked but figured I would research and figure out which could be the best. After using it on a long flight I didn't think it did anything since there was no pain or strain in my neck. Then I realized, that's the job it did. I have since brought it on long car trips and even to just sleep in my car between jobs that I have to stay onsite for. It does a great job keeping my neck pain and strain free!

Place the pillow behind your neck, place the mask over your eyes, then adjust the elastic cord until it reaches your desired level of support. That way, you will easily fall asleep no matter what kind of terrain your car is traveling on. The GoSleep pillow and mask are designed as well as possible so that you no longer feel any aches and pains caused by straining in odd positions during sleep.

AMAZING! The fabric is very soft and comfortable and doesn't smudge or rub off makeup. The pillow is super supportive memory foam and the adjustable straps don't stretch out or loosen during use. There is a convenient pouch that holds the mask and ear plugs- I also put my phone and earbuds in there. It is 100% worth the buy even if you aren't a frequent traveler because nothing is worse than being uncomfortable on a trip. 10 out of 10 would recommend!

This pillow is not just a regular pillow which is designed in a small size. This ultralight compressible travel pillow measures only 13 x 4 x 4 inches compressed and weighs 7 ounces making it perfect for your traveling companion. Its super soft surface will lull you along the way so you can sleep in peace. Not only in the car, but you can also carry it while camping, on a plane, or wherever you go without increasing the weight of your backpack.

Got two of these for emergency use 2 months ago. Thought when I unwrapped them that I had been had taken. They first expanded to a kind of flat pillow But over time these guys have puffed up to a nice soft and supportive pillow that I use now not for a bed but for neck support and other spinal comfort issues. They are great and though I bought them based on the reviews just to do one job I have grown to really love them and put them to many uses, and intend to get more when the budget allows.

The AERIS pillow does look like a normal neck pillow. It’s just that, once you try it, you definitely don’t want to take it off since it is super comfy soft to the skin. It comes with an eye mask, earplugs, and a compact carrying bag for your pillow, perfect to accompany your trip wherever you go. Plus, it has a velcro strap to attach to your luggage or backpack without worrying about being left behind. Are you ready for a long sleep?

I usually find travel pillows uncomfortable and unmanageable. This pillow is great. I used this pillow on my recent Europe trip (planes, trains, and cars.) It was a LIFESAVER. Honestly, I didn't realize I could sleep sitting up without getting a headache/neck ache until I used this pillow. It is rather bulky but it compresses down nicely into the little carrying bag making it a bit smaller. It's definitely worth the space, though. The ear plugs and eye mask were nice as well. Very comfortable.

The shape may remind you of the doggie’s toy, but its function will blow your mind. This inflatable travel pillow lets you adjust its size according to your personal preferences. Simply inflate it to be firmer or release air to make it softer. Not only for the neck, but you can also use it for your back so you don’t have to get tired of holding your posture anymore. The elastic band holds the neck pillow in place so you can change positions without changing the position of the pillow.

I have tried many inflatable back supports before this one. And this one is the best. It holds its shape when inflated really well. Since it is inflatable, you can adjust the support level. I have taken it on over 10 flights and would never travel again without it. I have back issues and flying has been almost unbearable before I found this back support. I would highly recommend this back support for anyone who needs back support. I like it so much I am going to get one for the car also!

This pillow made of super soft bamboo fabric will make your trip more relaxed because you can lie down anywhere and anytime. With just one product, you can wear it in various styles according to your needs, from neck support, lumbar pillow, desk pillow, to noise-canceling pillow. The breathable material also gives room for your neck to breathe so it doesn’t make you sweat.

If you are a bit larger than an average human and never know where to put your arms on a long economy flight... get this thing. I was able to wrap it around and keep my head supported AND loop my arms into it. It was super comfortable to sleep on (feels like a nice sleeping bag) or to just watch movies and not have to worry about where to put your arms. It is super versatile, I used it wrapped twice, once, and looped behind the seat. Loved it.

This Trtl Pillow Plus is a lifesaver for your long long journey. Its shape did not indicate like a pillow at all, nor was it how to use it. You need to place the scarf around your neck, and for the sake of comfort, use the two twisty toggles to find your preferred pillow height. You will be surprised when you arrive at your destination without feeling tired at all.

I had the original Trtl Pillow and liked it okay, but then I got the Trtl Pillow Plus through Kickstarter and absolutely LOVE it! I used it after surgery when I had to sleep sitting up in a chair for several nights and it worked great! I liked it so much I recently bought another one here for my husband to use on our next trip because I'm not sharing it! 😉 The people at Trtl customer service were fantastic to work with when I had a question. Great product all around!

You have tried various neck pillows countless times, but none of them work at all. Hmm, maybe it’s time for you to try this ‘trtl’ Pillow. Unlike neck pillows which are generally U-shaped, this pillow works like a shawl that you can wrap around your neck to keep your head in a better position. You will sleep soundly during the long car ride. No more nodding heads.

Pictures don’t die it justice! I love this product. When I “lost” this product at my ex’s, had to immediately get another. It is soft yet strong and structured where it needs to be to hold up my head and support my neck so I don’t end up with neck/shoulder pain from traveling. Not just for use on planes, but also great to have on a long car ride. Ignore how it might make you look! Worth every penny because I don’t have to go to the chiropractor after every trip anymore. Have been able to sleep better as well on trips.
