Amazon’s Viral Travel Pillow Is ‘Genius' for Preventing Neck Pain on Long Flights — and It's Under $20

Sleeping on an airplane is arguably the most challenging part of flying — especially if you’re stuck in a middle seat. In addition to limited space to sprawl out as the window and aisle seats offer, the middle seat’s headrest comes with practically no neck support, leaving your head free to bob up and down uncomfortably. And, if you do bring a travel pillow, you have to figure out how to store the bulky accessory in your carry-on luggage (and access it without disturbing your neighbors). 

Luckily, Amazon’s luggage and travel gear department offers a wide range of helpful in-flight travel essentials, including the TikTok-viral Sarisun travel pillow that has caught users’ attention for its unique features that’s helped them catch some Zs with ease — and it costs less than $20. 

Sarisun Travel Pillow

TikTokers can’t stop raving over Sarisun’s neck pillow for its game-changing ability to prevent head bobbing while you sleep on a plane or car. Its smart design features adjustable straps that simply clip onto the back of your seat’s headrest and secure your head, as well as a plush Velcro strap that acts as a sleeping mask that goes across your eyes to keep your neck from moving around. One TikTok creator used it on a 14-hour flight to Tokyo and said. “This thing saved my life,” while another TikToker called it the best travel hack for making flights more than nine hours long in economy better. In their review, they also praised its neck-supporting features: “Your head stays in place plus it blocks all the light.” 

Amazon shoppers also can’t get enough of the neck pillow as more than 8,000 have already been purchased this month — and it’s easy to see why. The travel accessory uses a memory foam material on the inside to help support and cradle your neck comfortably while the strap ensures your head stays in place, meaning no uncomfortable head bobbing. One happy reviewer called it “superior to any neck pillow or neck support I have ever used” after using the travel pillow on a 10-hour flight to Europe.

The two-in-one design also helps cut down your packing list since it acts as a neck pillow and sleep mask. Plus, it easily folds up when you’re done, and comes with a carrying bag that you can throw into your carry-on or personal bag.
