I love this travel pillow. The memory foam seems to adjust to your head but still gives the necessary support. There is a tie that makes it easily adjustable and I appreciate that because I like these to be snug. The fabric cover is very soft. I am not sure what that material is. In addition to the foam one favorite things the shape. It is elevated in the back and gives excellent stabilizing support for when you sleep with your head leaning back. So much better than those pillows that are the same height all around. Also for a good sized pillow, it compresses quite in Included carrying sack. People might initially be concerned that there is slight chemical smell. It goes away after a couple of days and isn’t a big deal. i assume it’s just normal ‘off gassing,’ which learned about when I got a foam mattress recently. Lol Anyway, I really like this travel pillow and an happy to ditch my uncomfortable inflatable one!
