Neck support for plane

I keep seeing adverts for various different neck wraps / supports for sleeping on planes. Has anyone tried any of these? Just wondering how you found them?

Lots of airlines don’t permit the inflatable frames ones which sit on the fold down table and let you rest your head forwards.

None of the ones I tried were comfortable unfortunately. A folded jacket is as good

I’ve been using a traditional ring one for about a decade now. For me, the eye mask is more important for getting to sleep. The neck support prevents me getting a crick in my neck and waking myself up when my head lolls forward.

Desperate for one of these that actually half works even. Jacket no good if your in the aisle seat

I found this memory foam one very comfortable when I flew long haul earlier this year.

I have this one too. It’s really good & rolls up small into a pouch.

I agree with the eye mask and for me my ear plugs were a god send at dulling the loud engine noise.

Theres one on insta that straps to the head rest, with integrated mask.
AVERNIO. I thought it looked promising ?!

I can highly recommend this one. Just did long haul (12.5 and 14.5hr flights) and this was worth every penny.

This looks great but I know this is a really stupid question but do they let you take it into the aeroplane cabin separately or do you need to cram it in to your carry on bag?

This is the only way I can sleep on a plane. It’s pricey compared to others but worth it.

Another vote for this, I don’t sleep well on planes but this has really helped, plus a good eye mask and for me noise cancelling headphones!

Thanks all. The turtl is one I’ve seen advertised- can you buy it in shops or only online?

I had mine from Amazon. I’ve never seen them in any shops.

DuringDinnerMints · 29/09/2026 17:45

I use an ostrichpillow. I have quite a long neck so I find most neck pillows are not quite high enough. The ostrich is adjustable and not too bulky round the back so really comfortable. I've only used it once but it's the only flight I've managed to sleep on.

AmIReallyTheGrownup · 29/09/2026 17:48

I hated the Turtl. It pinched my ear lobe when I leaned against it and was super uncomfortable. You also can’t wear headphones with it.

I ended up with an ordinary memory foam pillow that attached at the front which was much more comfortable.

I've got the turtl deluxe version. Got it on Vinted, new with tags and carry case.
