-I personally believe that neck pillows
are absolutely disgusting looking.
-I'm team neck pillow when I'm on the plane.
If I'm not on the plane,
it's like you just look like an idiot,
and it's picking up germs everywhere.
-I hear a lot from people that they hate neck pillows
and they never work for them, and I think that that is silly
because there are so many different options out there.
-I have never actually had one before,
so I don't know if I'm going to enjoy the comfort.
-I've never owned or used a neck pillow.
Maybe shouldn't knock it before I try it.
-I've never actually had one.
I see everyone using it, so I'm open to the idea.
-It's a lot better than putting a scarf on your craned neck.
-Good for you, not for me.
-But when I see people wearing them in the airport,
there is a little bit of judgment that I have.
-The look of it, the hygiene,
the just carrying it around with you in the airport.
It's like another thing you have to have.
-I need a neck pillow that is like a brace.
The idea of a neck brace from a Walgreens or a CVS
came to me from a reader, and I think it's brilliant,
and I can't believe no one's thought about it earlier.
-You have people that use this to travel.
-Whoa.
This is like a straight up neck brace.
-I wear makeup, and this is gonna get so dirty so fast.
-Uh.
You can't put your head up right for sure.
-This is fine, but it's a little narrow,
and I might want something that has more bulk
to go to the collar bone.
It's kind of chokey when you lean back.
-I don't think I could take a nap in this.
Can I take this off now? -I can see myself wearing this.
I might even get a window seat. Yeah.
I'm like, "Oh, my neck hurts, can I get a window seat?"
-Sleep-wise, a hard no.
-It's light, but I feel almost no support.
-I'd say a hard no.
-I recently slept on the floor of Baltimore International
Airport using this pillow,
so I can say from personal experience
that it's a pretty good one.
I also slept on a Spirit Airlines flight,
and if that's not a testament to having something
be comfortable, I don't know what is.
-Oh, this is really soft.
Feels like tempur-pedic.
-This is nicer than my, like, real life pillow,
so this is already a good start.
So I know I look dumb. I can feel it.
But I will say it does feel nice.
Am I even wearing this right?
-I don't know if "elegant" is the right word,
but it looks a little nicer than a lot of neck pillows.
It's very versatile so you can twist it around
in different ways. -Like, I feel like you
would just use this as a regular pillow.
It's not really like --
if like this is just gonna slide off or do this.
-Okay, I could get used to this.
I could definitely fall asleep.
And it's soft and cushiony and comfortable.
-Yep, I would wear this. -Are you converted?
-No, I haven't. Just give me a second.
Okay, I'm gonna be honest, I really like this.
Um.
"Jaw or shoulder here."
Those are two very different things.
-What the hell is this?
Hello, I'm the worst neck pillow in the world!
-This is a little bizarre. I don't actually know.
Is it supposed to go like this? No, this way.
Oh, yeah, oh. -"Place your neck here."
"Your jaw here."
-Neck pillows should now come with instructions.
"Jaw or shoulder."
It's like Twister.
-Oh, yeah, definitely does feel like a scarf
and not a neck pillow, for sure.
Okay, well, someone's got to --
you need someone to travel with to help you figure this guy out.
-I feel, like, the support, but it's so rigid,
you just feel like there's, like, plastic, like,
sticking into your head.
And it's not -- there's no, like, cushion or comfort.
-I think that this is the Holy Grail of neck pillows.
You can smush it down and put it into a carrying case
so it's not too big when you're carrying it.
I love that it's this memory foam material
that forms to your body.
It has this strap in the front so that you can make it really
tight and not let your neck move.
-It is sort of big.
-Um, how am I supposed to use these?
Okay.
Is it supposed to get in a knot? -Did I put it on the right way?
Yeah. Right?
-Hold on. Hold please.
Can you play hold music for me 'cause I'm just trying to --
Here we go.
Is that the way it's supposed to go?
-Nope.
Just squeezing my cheeks together.
-Remember you'd do those things a kid,
where you'd, like, smush your cheeks.
What this feels like.
-I would say that this is a hard no.
-I could sleep right here.
I'm so happy to feel the comfort of this great neck pillow.
-I feel like I would be able to wear this without worrying
that I'm going to, like, bump into somebody's shoulder
or, like, fall asleep on a stranger's shoulder.
That being said, it's very tight around my neck.
-This is not comfortable to me at all.
This just feels like just stress on my neck.
-Neck pillows really work.
It's just a matter of how convenient they are for you,
what type of travelling you're doing.
-My mind has been opened to the possibility,
but I wouldn't say I'm a hard convert.
I'm also a very good sleeper.
Like, I can sleep on planes immediately,
so I've never really had to use them.
But maybe it will enhance my sleeping experience.
-This, to me, is worth it if it's, you know,
reasonably priced.
It's very comfortable,
and I feel like it's really versatile.
-Do you use neck pillows?
Do you have one that you think is a lot better
than the ones that we've talked about here?

and tell us what we're missing.
Even if you're using a neck pillow,
when you fall asleep on a plane,
you're still gonna have your mouth open,
and there's no cure for that yet.
So I always wake up with, like --
like, my mouth fully open,
and I don't know how to fix that yet.
So if you know how to fix that, leave us a line
