A member asked:
Is it good to take one of those bucky pillows on a flight, or does that mess up your neck even more?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends : In general, i would be hesitant to accept any advice that recommends a particular brand of pillow. What you should aim for is a pillow that provides enough support to be comfortable but which doesn't bend your neck too far. You should make a personal decision on what would allow you to rest comfortably on a flight vs. What is worth lugging along.
