We needed an AFFORDABLE rectangular shaped memory foam travel pillow that included a fitted pillowcase and a travel cover. We have been traveling with this one for 3 months and feel it was definitely a great value and a wonderful travel pillow!

You can tell by the density that it is not the same as our TempurPedic brand items BUT it also doesn't carry their hefty price tag either, so if it gets lost somewhere in our travels it won't sting the wallet too much for a replacement.

These are the items included in the box:
1 rectangular memory foam travel pillow
1 white velour pillow case (zipper closure, removable & machine washable)
1 black nylon travel cover (zipper closure/machine washable)

The travel cover requires you to roll the pillow up like a Hostess Ho-Ho and insert it into the cover (which is also shaped like a Hostess Ho-Ho) then zip up the cover. It takes a little practice but is worth the effort to save space while traveling since we keep it in our carry-on bag.

FYI: We use this pillow for lower back lumbar support for on the plane and as an extra pillow for comfort at the hotel.

I found this pillow very comfortable. And, after a couple of tries, rolling it up and getting it in the carrying case was a cinch. The case is essential because you can clip it to your carry-on luggage. I would recommend this product.

After a recent trip I was in the market for a small tavel pillow. Since our bed/pillows are tempurpedic I wanted a similar material in a travel pillow. These run about $70+ at the airport. I purchased 2 for less than half that price here on amazon after shopping around. We have not yet taken them on a trip but they have found a permanent home on the couch where a full sized pillow might be too much. The only downside is finding pillow cases for a smaller than average pillow. It really should come with some sort of washable case. Other than that I'm extremely satisfied with the quality and comfort of these pillows. Would recommend for anyone looking for a smaller than full sized pillow.

I got this pillow as I was looking for a cheap small source of memory foam to make a very custom fitted neck pillow for in my car with intention that I was going to cut it up. When I opened it I was surprised to find it was made of two 1/2 inch layers of thin memory foam and full of fiber fill. Not a real memory foam pillow. It worked out OK for my purpose, but I felt cheated that it wasn't a real "memory foam" pillow and felt that the fact it had fiber fill should have been in the description.

Love this little memory foam pillow. Great for the airplane and car...like you know, when you fall asleep and your head dangles into no man's land. This little bugger keeps my head in place. And it packs into a tiny little black bag that I slip into my backpack. Just went on a trip to Mexico with my sister and she had had some shoulder surgery and used it at night to prop her shoulder. GREAT product.

I bought one of these pillows in Feb 2011 and it was great, used it on the sofa, took it on road trips... super. We liked to use it in the car so I decided to get one more for the sofa. Six months later (Aug 2011) we ordered the exact same pillow from Amazon... and I am sad to say its not the same pillow. The memory foam is a lot less... it seems to be 75% cotton batting and 25% memory foam where the older version was 100% memory foam. The outside cover is a cheaper, thinner material too. I am really disappointed and I cannot recommend this pillow anymore. There really isn't anything memory foamy about it... it's just a pillow with cotton filler now.

This is the perfect pillow for so many reasons. I not only travel with this pillow, but I take it with me to my physical therapy sessions. I liked it so much, I bought another. A great bonus is the carry case that comes with it.
I would highly reccomend this product.

This is a nice pillow. This pillow is a great item to have when traveling. I like how it comes with it's own bag that you can roll the pillow into. It may take a few times to get it in there just right, but it makes it small. I also like how the bag itself has a clip on it, so I can just clip it to my backpack and not have it take up room in my bag. This pillow did come with a little bit of a smell, but I have aired it out a few days, and it is fine now. It isn't as nice as the real memory foam pillows, but those cost $80 or more. It does mold to your head, or back and it feels nice to lay on, and doesn't go all flat like some imitations do.It does come in a pillow case, but I made a pillow case for it out of some material, sice the case does seem to attract dirt to it, though you can put it in the wash (the case only). When I am on vacation I don't have means or time to wash it much, so the material pillow case is perfect. It is a soft pillow case on it though, and the pillow is a great buy! I plan on using it more during this summer. It will be used on the plane and at the campsite!

I bought this pillow for my toddler. She sleeps very well on our memory foam pillows so I decided to get one just her size for her toddler bed. Other reviewers complained of a lack of pillowcase options and they are right. I sew, so I just made some for her. My ONLY complaint is the odor. Our adult sized pillows were odor free after 2-3 days. Her pillow still has an odor. The manufacturer tells you to leave the pillow in open air for 24 hours before use to release the odor, but I am not sure why her's still smells.

Love this pillow, perfect size for traveling in airplane. Doesn't quite fit the travel case though.
