I had a high-priced Neck Pillow by Samsonite, which has never given me a good hold. In front of a 11-hour non-stop flight in Economy I bought the TravelRest and slept better than ever. I use it with the cord behind the back and out into the loop below. Thus, the cushion remains in position. The long thin nose before the upper body has proved to be unexpectedly very handy. They can for example be used as a storage for the arm, which at the same time a counter-weight to the pressure has exerted by the head on the other end. Meanwhile, the Travel Rest Pillow is even at short distances always there to catch up on sleep the morning or evening. Since I also book back window instead gear, then I can just pinch the pad as an alternative to the window.
