My son was going to England (the pillow has made a return trip !!), I ordered it for the boat ride after some hesitation in view of the negative comments. The positive opinion is more, I started ... and am pleasantly surprised by the thickness of this pillow. Those who expect a pillow the size of the one they use at home have necessarily been disappointed! But it is indeed a compact travel pillow and personal, I find the same adequate for an adult. And super convenient; stowed in his bag can attach it to his backpack. Finally, well protected and fast shipment
