J-Pillow

I purchased this pillow and travel blanket for an especially long trip to Europe (traveling on my partner's frequent flyer miles, I saved money but had to make three connections, with over 24 hours of travel time) and though I have flown trans-Pacific flights many, many times, I've always felt that the minimal comfort travel pillows provide doesn't justify their bulk. I still believe this is true for most pillows, but the J Pillow is an exception! It is the first travel pillow that actually supports my head enough to be comfortable! I've never liked the C-shaped pillows that fit around the neck - they push my head forward uncomfortably without providing much support. I own a Travelrest cross-body inflatable travel pillow and found it to be more comfortable than the others but it was cumbersome to switch sides, and I still didn't feel enough support for my chin, and the Travelrest would also tend to slide out from under my head as I slept and pushed down on it. I was a little skeptical about the J Pillow's promises, and watched lots of videos and testimonials - what convinced me was a video review by a woman who wore it on the train to work. She kept hooking it around her neck with a blissful look as she talked, and she couldn't stop touching it. Her affection for it was obvious! I purchased it, as I said, for this exceptionally long trip, but didn't expect more from it than to make an excruciating experience a little less uncomfortable. What a surprise I got! It was so comfortable that I slept like a baby despite the many layovers. It proved its worth in middle seats, where I could tuck it under my chin, lean the side of my head against it, and feel as if I was pressed against the bulkhead (without the noise of the engines), all without leaning too far towards my neighbors. It was very easy to switch sides. I used it lying down on one happy segment, and it was equally comfortable when used as a traditional pillow in that position. I ended up carrying it everywhere after I arrived - I used it on the TGV train trips, I used it in bed...the only problem I have with mine is that I've used it so much that I've flattened it out a bit (this includes almost two months of happily using it as my pillow at night, though that is not the J Pillow's intended function). It's easy to wash, and I hope that washing will plump it up again, but it's still firm and full enough to be comfortable on flights. I've used it on many flights since that initial trip, and don't want to travel without it. It's worth toting around the extra bulk, and the snap on the top allows you to snap it to suitcase handles or backpack straps, keeping it off the floors and out of the way. Flight attendants did not, as I feared, count it as additional hand baggage - even on Easyjet. I love this pillow!

I recently left my J pillow in a taxi on the way to the airport, and was very disappointed to lose it. As soon as I got to the airport I logged onto Amazon and ordered another one, which I received the following day. It came in a nice little nylon storage bag which my first one didn't have. Honestly, this is the best travel pillow I've ever had. It works! I've taken it all over the world on very long trips. It supports your neck, both front and back, as well as the side of your head. It's interchangeable for either the right or the left side. It's almost like having something to lean against to support your head. It's soft and squishy so you can position it just right. And it's washable. There's no comparison with the standard u-shaped pillows which are so uncomfortable. The last one I bought I returned to the store, and that's when I found the J pillow online. This pillow is a little odd looking, but it's well designed to be pliable in fitting around your head and neck, but still provides support. No more chin falling on your chest. And the little loop that snaps around your luggage handle makes it easy to carry with you, hands-free. I highly recommend it! It costs more, but it's worth it to be comfortable while travelling, either in a plane or in a car.

Super cuddly fabric. Great shape for relaxing on the couch when you feel really tired Not so awesome for upright sleeping and here's why: - Does not provide enough support: Ideally it should rest on your shoulder, but it needs some kind of friction from the seat behind you to keep your head upright. - Can only support you one way: Let's say you get it supportive. You are on a long haul international and you want to move your head. You need to wake up and adjust. And if you want to lean your head the other side, you need to completely pick up and move the J-Pillow to the other side of your head/shoulder It's just not ideal for full on airplane sleeping. Check out Cabeau (worn backwards), Komfort Kollar (not ideal as it still pushes my head forward and therefore my chin drops forward, or my new favorite, but bulky and annoying when not using it- Kuhi Comfort Pillow, my current international travel friend. The Kuhi is supportive even if I tip my head to the left or right. It's surprisingly adjustable for size and support. And it doesn't have anything but a strip of fabric behind my head forcing my head and neck forward. So my head can rest against the seat headrest but have support on either side of my head for good sleeping. (All available on Amazon.) But the J Pillow is great for at home. If you are just plain wiped out and you want to chill on your couch or in an easy chair and watch TV, it's awesome. It provides enough support for when you are awake and it's snuggly. Also if you were to lie down on your couch on your side it's really comfy. I recently had a nasty virus that had me down for the count for 3 whole weeks and my J Pillow was there to comfort me on the couch. It's fabulous for lounging. And I would imagine it would be good for light dozing in a car or plane. But for actual quality, several hour sleep sitting upright, no. If you like to chill on your couch, J is your friend!

The J pillow is the best neck pillow I have used and I have tried four other brands before. In fact I got rid of all my other neck pillows. I use the J pillow along with my regular pillow in bed every night. The J pillow supports my neck and keeps my spine in alignment while I sleep. I feel the fact that it is asymmetrical is actually an advantage because it allows more natural head positions than other pillows which require you to sleep in a supine position. The J pillow is very comfortable for back or side sleepers. I also use the J pillow when I am on an airplane, it supports the neck and allows you to nap in a natural position because it can cradle the side of your head. I have also used it when i am reading and reclining on the sofa. It really saves your neck. The covering and the stuffing are by far the softest of any neck pillow I have tried. The outer covering does not seem to pick up lint or dirt. I was worried about that initially when I bought the dark blue covering since I have a white cat, but the pillow has stayed clean. The stuffing is light and soft. The light weight of this pillow is an advantage over others. I highly recommend the J pillow Even if you think you like your current neck pillow, I suggest you try the J pillow, it is well worth the price. Also, I have not seen it at airports so don't wait to purchase it there. Thank you J pillow for saving my neck. I highly recommend this, the J pillow really deserved the Invention of the Year Award.

After trying a lot of different travel pillows, this was the only one which came close to working well once we figured out how best to position it to keep one's jaw and head supported.The idea is good, and the pillow is exceedingly soft and comfortable, but there are two design issues which prevent it from working really well and being a 5-star pillow (at least for us). First off, the fabric is very soft, which although it's wonderful for one's face where it contacts the pillow, is also a problem for the part that doesn't contact one's face. Due to the slipperyness of the fabric on the back of the pillow, even with the headrest "wings" folded closely, the pillow easily slipped around on the seats, and our heads got lower and lower until we had to re-position ourselves and start again, preventing slumber. If the back side of the pillow (which doesn't touch one's face or head) had a strip of a rougher fabric, it might solve the sliding problem and keep the pillow in place, especially on airlines with smoother seat fabrics. Secondly, for some smaller people, the pillow tended to pop off and not stay in place on one's head. Having a small strap which could snap from the carrying loop to any of the tips might allow the pillow to be strapped in place and remain securely in position on one's head. The only other negative was the size and awkwardness of the shape of the pillow. We had some small, spare stuff sacks which we used to stuff the pillows in before travel, which worked well and made the pillows a more manageable shape and size for traveling. Positives: - innovative pillow shape supports one's head and jaw very comfortably - very soft material is comfortable on one's face, even for those with sensitive skin Negatives: - soft material on the back of the pillow allows it to easily slide around, preventing sleep (adding a patch of rougher fabric on the back of the pillow might eliminate this problem) - for smaller people, the pillow tended to pop off (adding an optional strap might prevent this) - awkward size and shape for travel (a stuff sack would be a great addition for this pillow) Even with a few negatives, for us, this pillow was worth purchasing, despite the price. We added our own stuff sack for travel to eliminate the awkward size/shape, and plan to add a patch of rough fleece or other fabric on the back to prevent slippage on the seat back. It would also be nice if the cover could be removed and washed in hot water to kill any pests one might encounter whilst traveling. Overall, this pillow is very, very comfortable with nice, soft fabric, which is great for sensitive skin. It supports one's head and jaw very well, and if it didn't slip around (on the seat back or off of one's head), it would work incredibly well. Add a small stuff sack into the mix and this could easily be a 5-star pillow.

I was skeptical about this travel pillow at first, but I hated the standard neck pillows. They either didn't offer any support and or I felt like I was wearing a neck brace. I bought the Daisy travel pillow at the same time. Initially, I thought the J pillow was awkward - didn't make sense, and seemed like it wouldn't be very supportive or comfortable. The first time I actually used it, was taking a nap in my car, and I slept so well. It supported my head and kept my chin from drooping. I woke up from a car nap feeling refreshed - unheard of! I have continued to use it since then, and have used it as a passenger in the car and during several long flights (10+ hours). I've used it against the window seat and the middle seat during flights, and it has been supportive and comfortable in both situations. If you're in the middle seat (or aisle), it does support better if you bend the 'head rest' forward so it has something to support it, but even without that the seat does a pretty good job of holding it. In one of my long flights, I was able to sleep for nearly the entire flight, and probably would have if the flight attendants hadn't woken me for food. It is easy to transport for flights too. The clip is strong and I usually just clip it to the outside of my backpack, which due to it's shape it usually fits against it pretty well. I can't speak highly enough about the J Pillow. It definitely solves a lot of the problems with the standard neck pillow and let's me sleep comfortably during travel.

I discovered the J Pillow - Winner of British Invention of the Year 2013 -consistently #1 best selling travel pillow on Amazon.co.uk "J Pillow" on Amazon just a few days before we were to spend 10 hours on an airplane heading to Alaska for a cruise. The "J Pillow" arrived the morning before we left...arriving even before promised...so there was no need for me to stress out wondering if it would get here in time! Must admit I was a bit confused when I opened the box...how do I use this thing? But...they had thoughtfully provided several illustrations. Fast forward one hour....husband drastically ill and on way to hospital. Doesn't know who I am, what his name is, etc. Something told me to bring "THE J PILLOW"! Spent the night in a hospital room chair and the pillow saved me....Gosh, it was so comfortable! My head didn't flop around and the material is incredibly soft on your face. I actually got a lot of sleep thanks to the "J"! It may be great for traveling but I say it is a MUST for hospital rooms! As suggested I also folded it and used as back support during our 5 day hospital stay. Again....unbelievably comfortable! No back ache....incredible! And it's washable! And...it has a snap enclosure so you can just attach to your luggage! But I just squished mine in my purse. To the person(s) who invented this...thank you! We never made it to Alaska but hubby is ok and we both have our own incredible "J Pillows" for future travels. Road Trip...!

This has been the most comfortable and less embarrassing travel pillow for an airplane! I appreciate how there is a picture of the ear to guide you on how to lay your head in it as the shape is not your traditional neck pillow. It fits nicely and the fabric is soft and smooth. Sometimes it can slip at times but once you find your spot, sleep comes easy. The memory foam is soft and forms a little bit but overall keeps its firm shape. I would say good quality for sure but haven’t washed it yet. I’ve already taken it on a couple trips and so far holding its shape. I like that it comes with a travel storage bag and one of the reasons I didn’t give it 5 stars is that I wish the bag itself had a clasp to hook outside my backpack. I’d have to either stuff it into my backpack or get a separate carabiner. It does have an adjustable elastic cord. Will update with pictures.

🔹 Supporto ottimale: Questo cuscino offre un supporto incredibile per il collo e la testa. La forma unica permette di dormire in modo comodo anche seduti, senza affaticare il collo o la schiena. 🔹 Materiale morbido e confortevole: Il cuscino è realizzato con un materiale morbido che rende il viaggio molto più piacevole, specialmente durante le ore di volo. 🔹 Praticità: La forma "a J" è perfetta per mantenere la testa in posizione corretta, evitando il fastidio di inclinarsi troppo da un lato. È anche facile da riporre e occupa poco spazio. 🔹 Ideale per qualsiasi mezzo di trasporto: Non è solo per l’aereo! Ho usato il cuscino anche in macchina e in treno, e la differenza è evidente, rendendo ogni viaggio molto più comodo.

I’m not too sold on what makes this better than the usual neck pillow. Perhaps if you need some extra material between your head and chin. The support doesn’t feel that much different. Not to mention the extra work you have to do if you change sides. If you feel too choked by the usual neck pillow, this might be less restrictive.

Okay this is really good. I was hesitant as there are quite a few different designs out there. I already had the classic horseshoe shaped pillows for travelling but found they were never thick enough to keep your head from tilting to the side thus resulting in a stiff neck. But this design really worked well for me on a 12 hour flight. The J shape tucks under your chin and you can then comfortably lean into the pillow and it is really comfortable to the extent that for the first time ever I woke from the flight feeling quite refreshed. It definitely has much more support than than the horseshoe shapes and is soft enough. It does self support too pretty well, but if you have a little of something to lean against like a window or head rest then feeling is even more comfortable and dare I say awesome. Another good thing. I always found the older style horseshoe shaped cushions left your head sweaty after a long flight given flights can be quite warm. But with this cushion I never got over heated. Perhaps it’s because one side of the head is left open to the which means you stay much cooler.

This was a game changer for me. I cannot recommend it enough. I travel from Australia to North East UK economy and I’ve never slept so well and in complete comfort using the pillow. I had a wind and an aisle and it worked well for both. Not too hot, easy to move onto different positions to suit the way I wanted to sleep. (I’m a proper fidget flyer too). Great on my long traon journey too. Just love it. 🥰

Gleich vorweg: Wer bislang nicht in einem Flugzeug oder Zug schlafen können, wird es vermutlich auch weiterhin nicht können. Das J Pillow ist schließlich kein Schlafmittel... Aber es macht das Reisen um einiges bequemer! Und immerhin kann ich damit nun im Flugzeug wenigstens vor mich hindösen. Die spezielle Form erlaubt es, sich bequem an Fenster, Lehnen und dergleichen anzulehnen und gibt dem Nacken die nötige Stabilität. Ganz ohne Anlehnobjekt geht es aber bei mir nicht. Vielleicht ist das aber eine Übungssache. Zum Kissen: Das Kissenbezug ist weich, leicht und lässt sich mit der praktischen Schlaufe mit Druckknopf sehr schnell und einfach an der Tasche oder am Koffer befestigen, sodass es nicht in der Hand getragen oder in den Rucksack gestopft werden muss. Die Füllung ist stabil genug, damit das Kissen die Form behält, aber nicht zu hart. Insgesamt würde ich das Kissen jederzeit wieder kaufen!
