'I slept 7 hours straight on a plane': This twisty travel pillow is 50% off
There are few things more interesting and restorative than a far-flung vacation. We love zipping across the country (or the globe) for a new adventure. What we do not love is trying to get comfortable en route, whether via plane, train or car. But Amazon's savviest travelers have discovered something to make such treks a lot more bearable: the Dot¨ Twist Memory Foam Travel Pillow. It's just $20 right now, down from $40.
Can you really put a price on comfort for a flight or a long road trip? While this travel pillow goes on sale periodically, we don't expect the price to drop lower than the current 50% discount — it hasn't gone any lower in years, in fact.
For the savvy traveler, this pillow can make all your trips in 2025 a lot more comfortable. What sets it apart from those flimsy U-shaped pillows sold at the airport? For starters, it's made from cushy yet supportive memory foam to keep your neck in place. On top of that, it can twist into whatever shape you want for more restful sleep even when you're stuck sitting upright. It also has a clasp to keep it in place.
Not only is it comfy, but the cover can be removed and washed — especially handy after you've spent hours in a cramped, germy airplane cabin. That means you can refresh it before every trip you take.
More than 10,000 shoppers have given the Dot¨ Twist Memory Foam Travel Pillow a five-star rating — and they use it for more than just traveling.
"This is the most functional travel pillow I have ever owned!" shared a rave reviewer. "First, it is memory foam, so thick and soft, then inside is a wire so you can bend the pillow however you want! So, you do not have to just have it around your neck, propping your head up. I had it just around the back of my neck and then folded it into a U-shape by my ear and it was so comfortable to lean on and actually have a pillow to lean into!"
"This has to be one of the best purchases I've made on Amazon," a doting daughter wrote. "My elderly mother lives at home with a live-in caregiver. She often sleeps in her recliner chair and no matter how we've tried to prop up her head as she sleeps, my mother's head invariably falls to the side. With this memory foam pillow, her head is held up and she no longer ends up with a stiff neck. It's soft and yet easily molded to her neck and head."
"I love this thing!" gushed a five-star fan. "I am a person who suffers from cervical dystonia, which is a very painful disorder of the neck. I had been searching for a new travel pillow when I discovered this crazy-looking thing. I can adjust it to support my neck in any direction I choose! It folds up nice and compact when I need it to and it pulls out of my tote bag and supports me whenever and wherever I need it to!"
"You probably need this!" raved another shopper. "It's a bit bulky but the comfort and support it provides outweighs any annoyances of carrying it around. I slept seven hours straight on a plane with this thing. A miracle!"
"I didn't give it five stars because it is a little bulky and there were times I couldn't quite get it positioned well — I tend to drop my head forward when I sleep on a plane, and it was hard to twist this in such a way that my head didn't drop," said a mostly satisfied reviewer. "If I wore it like a collar with it opened at the back of my neck, that worked fairly well."
Other travelers felt the pillow wasn't quite cushy enough. "Good flexibility. Wish it could have had more softness around the neck area. It gave the neck great support, but a little too firm."
While you're lounging with your new pillow, you may need a little help blocking out ambient noise. These can keep things quiet.
