One of the most obvious downsides to traveling is how uncomfortable flights, bus rides, and rail journeys are. Being crammed like a sardine into a seat that’s half the size it should be just isn’t enjoyable for anyone, especially on those long-haul flights.

Besides earplugs or noise-canceling headphones, and an eye mask, travel pillows are a must-have to make air travel more bearable and help you catch some ZZZ's. And while there are many options on the market—from inflatables to U-shaped pillows to the classic microbead ones you’ll find at any duty-free store—there’s no doubt that some offer better support and are more well-constructed than others. So, to sort out the doozies from the duds, we spent countless hours testing 13 of the most po[CENSORED]r travel pillows on the market and ranked them based on their support, comfort, portability, and durability.

Our top pick is the Cabeau Evolution Classic Travel Pillow (available at Amazon for $29.99) for its high-quality memory foam and 360-degree support that keeps your head and neck elevated and aligned. We’ve also detailed the best pillows for each type of sleeper and evaluated pillows of all different shapes, sizes, and prices, too.
