My sister Shelley bought this WEERSHUN travel pillow before her very first trip from the US to Europe. It did its job.
She wanted the plane ride to be bearable, and this got her there.
Quick Verdict
- Buy it if: You can never get comfortable sleeping sitting up.
- Skip it if: You hate anything snug around your neck.
- My favorite feature: A three-way tie: it locks in place, it’s cushy, and it squishes down small.
- Would I buy again? Yes
How the WEERSHUN pillow stays in place
It isn’t a regular U shape. It’s one wrap that goes around your neck, and the end sticks to the pillow itself with a Velcro-style strip. Once it’s fastened, your head can’t fall into that awful sideways or forward slump that leaves your neck sore.
WEERSHUN 2024 Memory Foam Travel Neck Pillow
A memory foam travel neck pillow with a chin wrap that fastens to itself, plus a drawstring storage pouch. The exact one tested is out of stock, so the button goes to WEERSHUN’s new 2026 model in Dark Gray.

Who the WEERSHUN pillow is for
Anyone facing hours in an upright airplane seat. Shelley brings a few comfort pieces for those, like the Gravel Layover travel blanket she bought for overseas travel and the FUNTOUCH travel makeup mirror she takes to every hotel and Airbnb. A car, train or bus ride is fair game too.
How it did on her first flight to Europe
It worked great on the flight over, and that was the whole job she bought it for.
Soft to wear, small to pack
- Soft: it’s so soft against your neck and jaw, which is a big part of what made the plane ride bearable.
- Squishes down small: roll it up, smash it down into its drawstring pouch, and it fits nicely in your luggage.
What else she liked
- No leaning on the stranger in the next seat
- It takes one press to close, so it’s quick to put on once you’re in your seat
What to know before buying the WEERSHUN pillow
- Put the cover cloth back over the sticky strip before you roll it up, so it doesn’t grab the fabric while it’s stored.
Common questions about the WEERSHUN travel pillow
How do you wear the WEERSHUN pillow?
Wrap it around your neck so the thick part sits under your chin, then press the ends together where they overlap. The chin wrap is what keeps your head upright instead of drooping forward.
Can you wash the WEERSHUN travel pillow?
Yes, it’s machine washable. The fabric is a cotton and polyester blend over memory foam.
Why does it look flat when you first open it?
It ships vacuum sealed, so the foam needs a little time to puff back up. A bit of smell at first is normal too. Leave it out somewhere with fresh air, ideally in the sun, before you leave.
Other chin support travel pillows to compare
- Cabeau Evolution S3 Travel Pillow: dual-density memory foam with straps that clip to the seat to keep your head from falling forward, plus an adjustable chin clasp. It fits necks from 12 to 18 inches.
- BCOZZY Travel Neck Pillow: overlapping arms you can tuck under your chin, fold for side support, or turn for both. It uses a bounce-back filling instead of memory foam, and the whole pillow goes in the washer.
- Vesta Loop Spiral Neck Pillow: a spiral wrap like the WEERSHUN with a memory foam core, but with a two-sided cover that’s warm on one side and cool on the other. Only the cover is machine washable.
Would Shelley buy the WEERSHUN pillow again?
Yes. Next time she flies abroad, this is going with her.
