The pillow is OK I suppose. It will help me rest on longer US domestic flights. I am concerned that the synthetic down will compact over time. It is already showing signs of this, reducing it's functionality as a pillow. Cocoon should also make it clear that unless you have neoprene for skin, the pillow is very uncomfortable without a pillow case. You have to buy a pillow case to go with it to use it. Another $10 for the pillow case plus delivery I found out after I opened up the box. So the pillow ended up costing about $35 inc delivery and case....

this pillow is great for traveling by car or plane. I bought it for backpacking and it is OK. It packs small but it is heavier than 5 oz (OK so it is 5.6 oz, I am a Gram Weenie). It definitely has more loft than the Down version.

The pillow is amazingly compact, which makes it nice when packing space is at a premium. Its thinness, however, also proves to be its primary disadvantage. I spend a lot of time on roadtrips with my husband, and had bought this pillow to use in the car. When leaning it between my head and the car window/frame, however, I could still feel the car surfaces almost as if the pillow were not there at all. The down compresses nearly flat, so that this was more a "pad" than a "pillow". Those looking for a true "pillow" would probably want to purchase more than one of these to put in the same pillowcase. In my situation, I have an LLBean travel pillowcase that I bought this to go in. I do like the Cocoon Travel Pillow product-- enough so that I purchased an identical one to put in the pillowcase along with the first. The two pillows together do the job nicely.

I purchased this for laying my head on backpacking trips and it is too thin for that, but it works perfectly to support my lower back in those horribly uncomfortable plane seats!

I ordered the Cocoon travel pillow in down but it arrived in its synthetic foam form. Amazon were very good and refunded the money. Even so, the pillow was covered in a slippery, shiney, nylon fabric totally unsuitable for a travel pillow as one's head would keep sliding off! also hot and sticky. Maybe the down version has a better cover and filling, but I doubt it. I would definitely not recommend this product.Cocoon Down Travel Pillow

I used this pillow in Afghanistan because we moved around frequently and I didn't always have the space for a full size pillow. I highly recommend it for hikers, campers, or military. One thing you should know is the outer material of the pillow is very water resistant. But when you wash the pillow (or if it gets rained on for too long), it takes ages for it to dry, as the material holds all the water inside the synthetic fill material.

This pillow is a good size for an adult and it stays lofty through the night.

My wife and I are making our first trip to Europe so we thought these items might be nice to bring on the aircraft.

At first, it was a mystery how to put the pillow back into the included carrying case. The answer is you just stuff it back in. The pillow will swishes easily so it fits in the little pouch. We also bought the pillow cover for this which is nice and soft. After experimenting, we found the easiest thing to do was leave the pillow in the pillow cover and stuff that in one of my shoulder bag compartments along with the Cocoon blanket. Everything compresses so well it hardly takes up any room.

The blanket itself it amazingly small when stuffed in its pouch. Yet it does a nice job of giving you a little something to cover yourself up with. The blank material feels like it's made of the same material used to make a extra heavy tee shirt. It's a good choice of material for a blanket.

All in all, this will help make the best of those small economy class seats so we can get some rest on our journey.
