Being able to blow up the pillow is a nice feature so it doesn't take up extra space in carry on luggage. The removable, washable cover is a plus.
Not what I was expecting:
This travel pillow did have a nice, soft cover, and I did appreciate how compact it folded up for storage. I even liked how easy it was to blow up and deflate. However, when I tried to use it to actually sleep on, it did me no good. It was too big behind the neck to be able to sit upright on a plane with it, and then deflating it a little made it too flat to actually support my head. I ended up using the movable headrest that comes attached to the airplane seat instead that worked better.
Eagle Creek Travel Pillow:
I bought this for my husband because he travels a lot...He absolutely loves it! It's great because it deflates and blows up with one puff, just the right size!
Comfortable, but almost too warm to wear:
Very comfortable. However, on a warm (but not hot) flight, neither one of the two of us traveling could tolerate the degree to which the felt-like covering led to feeling uncomfortably warm in a few minutes.
