Travel pillows are one of those things that you don’t really know you need until you wish you had it. I’ve searched far and wide for the best options. I looked for pillows with good neck support, a comfortable fit, and soft fabrics that hold up well over time. I didn’t think it would ever be truly easy to take a nap on a plane, but a few of these picks—like the Turtl ($65) and Cabeau Evolution ($30)—helped me do exactly that, even as an anxious flyer.

I’m a side sleeper who has a hard time falling asleep outside of my own bed. I tried my darndest to nap on each of these pillows a few different times, in a mix of testing environments, including airplanes (in middle and window seats), buses, the passenger seat of a car, and sitting up on my couch. I also tried each pillow with over-ear headphones and earbuds.
