It might come as a shock to you to hear someone speak the truth about U-shaped neck pillows so plainly, as this sort of pillow has been allowed to exist unchecked since it was patented in 1929. I scrunched the pillow up, so it was more like a tiny, oddly-shaped normal pillow, but the damn thing kept bouncing back to U-shape, which, by design, has a hole in it, so that was definitely no good. As my neck protruded an uncomfortable distance from the seat back, I let my head fall to my left. When it came time to attempt sleep I, like many of my fellow passengers, dutifully placed the U-shaped pillow on my shoulders. This past summer, I had occasion to travel by plane with such a pillow-memory foam in a pleasant maroon-and did so thoughtlessly, stuffing it into my carry-on as if it were my passport, or a book to ignore while watching, God willing, episodes of Sex and the City on the tiny television.
It is a scourge for reasons that I will outline in this essay and of which, by the end, I will convince you without question. This half-ovate, toilet-seat cover-esque object reigns as King of Travel Accessories, while failing miserably at its intended sole use. Is there a pillow as useless as the U-shaped travel neck pillow? There is not.
