Brown Bear Zip & Flip Travel Pillow

The breathable spandex cover is a lifesaver on long flights—no sweaty neck, and the microbeads contour just enough to keep my head from flopping. Zipping him up into his own little pouch makes stashing him in my carry-on absurdly easy. My travel buddy now, no question.

The microbead filling molds around my neck so well that I actually missed my stop on the bus. Zipping him back into a compact ball for my carry-on was way less fiddly than I expected, and the spandex cover feels cool against your skin all night.

I slept on this thing during a red-eye flight and the spandex cover kept it cool the whole time. Zipping him back into his little pouch took about five seconds, which made shoving it into my carry-on way less of a hassle than I expected.
