why do neck pillows never work for me?
I’m gearing up for a 17-hour flight to Indochina this summer, and honestly, the thought of trying to sleep on a plane already has my neck aching. So, I went all out and bought three different neck pillows—Trtl, Ostrich Go, and Bcozzy—hoping at least one would be my travel savior. But after trying them all, I’m starting to think neck pillows just aren’t made for people like me.
The Trtl looked promising, but it kept pressing awkwardly against my ear. I even tried leaning into it, but unless I wanted to basically nap on the stranger next to me, it just wasn’t happening. The Bcozzy? Zero support. It felt like wrapping a scarf around my neck and hoping for the best. The Ostrich Go had the softest fabric, but no matter how I adjusted it, my head kept tipping over to one side. I felt like a bobblehead doll every time I started to doze off.
I’ve always seen people in airports looking so peaceful with their neck pillows, and I can’t help but wonder if I’m missing some secret trick. Or maybe these things just aren’t as magical as everyone claims. It’s frustrating to spend all this money and still end up with a sore neck and no sleep. Has anyone actually found a neck pillow that works, or is this just one of those travel myths we all buy into?
