5. Flip your pillow
To make your U-shaped neck pillow more comfortable than it’s supposed to be, you can flip it around, so that the opening is at the back of your neck. This way your neck remains properly aligned and your head gets support. You can also try directing the stuffing inside the pillow to one side and perhaps slide a hair tie around the pillow to hold the stuffing in place. This will give you a little extra cushion to lean on when your head inevitable rolls to one side. To avoid any sort of non-comforting smells you might encounter on an airplane, try giving your pillow a spritz of calming lavender essential oil.
