neck pillow

Horseshoe-shaped headrest

A neck pillow is a U-shaped cushion designed to support the head and neck while sleeping in a seated position, especially during travel.

The curved shape wraps around the back of the neck, preventing the head from dropping forward or sideways: She inflated her neck pillow before the flight.

Some versions are filled with memory foam, microbeads, or air.
