The Memory Foam Travel Pillow

Whether you’re traveling by plane, train, automobile or foot, you’re going to need a comfortable place to rest your head.  Memory foam travel pillows come in a variety of sizes and shapes, the most recognizable being the memory foam neck pillow.  These neck pillows are the type you see that are shaped like a horseshoe and they allow you to sleep comfortably while sitting up.  Of course, neck pillows can also refer to those which are contoured to give extra support to your neck while sleeping, and travel pillows can mean any pillow small enough to pack and travel with.  This includes camping pillows.  They may weigh a bit more for the size, but they’ll certainly make your nights a bit more restful.

There are a couple of pillows available for campers and backpackers that are small enough to carry without adding to much bulk or weight.  Some, like the Big Agnes, incorporate directly with the associated sleeping bag for convenient set up, and a comfortable sleep.
