With a super versatile design, the BCOZZY Travel Pillow is an easy choice as the best neck pillow around.

Whether you’re seated in the favoured window or dreaded aisle seat of a plane, hunkered down in the airport during transit, or locked in the middle of your car’s backseat, BCOZZY can be wrapped or folded to support your chin and neck as needed.

The pillow is ergonomically designed to reduce pressure on your spine and shoulders, with its overlapping arms providing ample chin support and its flat back preventing your head from being pushed forward.

And, true to its name, this is one cosy pillow. Made with premium microfleece and microsuede materials, the BCOZZY Travel Pillow is super soft and fully machine-washable.

With its snap straps forming an easy-to-carry handle, and its ability to fold into a small carry bag – this is the perfect pillow for any and all trips.

Either way, this three-piece Pavtel Sunburst Leaf Travel Set by Ted Baker, is your go-to.

Travel neck pillows are an essential item for regular travellers.

They help ensure you’re well-rested, so you can spend more time enjoying your trip upon arrival, rather than sleeping through it.

The BCOZZY Chin Supporting Travel Pillow is our best all-around option. Offering a good amount of support to your neck and chin, whilst also being affordable and durable – it’s going to see you through countless restful journeys. Plus, by being fully machine-washable, at the end of your trip you can toss it straight in the laundry along with the rest of your unpacking.

As a fun alternative to the traditional travel pillow, we’ve chosen the Trtl Travel Neck Pillow. Designed to look like a scarf, whilst still offering superior support for both your neck and back, this is a compact option that’s super easy to transport.

Finally, as a classy and cute matching set, we can’t fault the Pavtel Sunburst Leaf Travel Set by Ted Baker. Including a matching leaf-print padded eye mask, neck pillow and drawstring carry bag, it’s a stylish all-inclusive option that also makes for a great gift.
