There are few things more fun, interesting and restorative than a far-flung vacation. We love zipping across the country, or the globe, headed for a new adventure. What we do not love is trying to get comfortable en route, whether via plane, train or car. But Amazon’s savviest travelers have discovered something to make such treks a whole lot more bearable: the Dot&Dot Twist Memory Foam Travel Pillow. It’s just $20 right now, down from $40 — that’s 50% off! And it’ll arrive by Christmas.

Why is it a good deal? 💰

Can you really put a price on comfort for a flight or road trip? How about a gift that arrives by Christmas? While this travel pillow goes on sale throughout the year, we don’t expect the price to drop lower than it is now.

Why do I need this? 🤔

For the savvy traveler, this pillow can make all your trips for the rest of 2024 a lot more comfortable. What sets it apart from those flimsy U-shaped ones sold at the airport? For starters, it’s made from cushy yet supportive memory foam to keep your neck in place. On top of that, it can twist into whatever shape you want for a restful sleep when you’re stuck sitting upright. It even has a clasp to keep it in place.

Not only is it comfy, but the cover can be removed and washed. That means you can refresh it for every trip you take.

What reviewers say 💬

More than 9,000 shoppers have given the Dot&Dot Twis Memory Foam Travel Pillow a five-star rating — and they use it for more than just traveling.

Pros 👍

“I’ve traveled for 40 years and this one IS the best,” shared a rave reviewer. “I’ve bought and used all kinds of travel pillows … This one works for me because it’s able to be formed into what I need at the time…leaning against the airplane window or changing it to straight ahead and holding my head in place without flipping around. I love it … so what’s to lose? Try it!”

“This has to be one of the best purchases I’ve made on Amazon,” a doting daughter wrote. “My elderly mother lives at home with a live-in caregiver. She often sleeps in her recliner chair and no matter how we’ve tried to prop up her head as she sleeps, my mother’s head invariably falls to the side. With this memory foam pillow, her head is held up and she no longer ends up with a stiff neck etc. It’s soft and yet easily molded to her neck and head.”

“I love this thing!” gushed a five-star fan. “I am a person who suffers from cervical dystonia, which is a very painful disorder of the neck. I had been searching for a new travel pillow when I discovered this crazy-looking thing. I can adjust it to support my neck in any direction I choose! It folds up nice and compact when I need it to and it pulls out of my tote bag and supports me whenever and wherever I need it to!”

“You probably need this!” raved another fan. “It’s a bit bulky but the comfort and support it provides outweighs any annoyances of carrying it around. I slept 7 hours straight on a plane with this thing. A miracle!”

Cons 👎

Some travelers felt the pillow wasn’t cushy enough. “Got it for my husband who needs to support his head and neck,” said one. “He found it way too hard.”

Echoed another: “Great idea but not very comfortable. The main support mechanism is a hard plastic ‘spine’ that allows you to shape and twist it to your ‘comfort.’ The problem is this ‘spine’ is hard and makes the overall product uncomfortable to use.”

Should you feel like splurging, you can get one of these in pink — or black, green, blue or purple.

While you’re lounging restfully with your new pillow, you may need a little help blocking out all that (loud!) ambient plane noise. These can keep things quiet.

Made with soft silicone, these earplugs are soft and flexible enough that you’ll barely feel them as you’re dozing off. Once you’re asleep, you won’t hear much.

“I am very sensitive to noise when sleeping,” shared a five-star fan. “My home is near a major freeway and it tends to wake me up in the early morning hours. These earplugs block it all out! I have had them for two days and have an incredible rest and sleep. Can’t recommend these highly enough.”
