Perhaps the best purchase I have made so far in travel items. It was used on a 12-hour trip from Mytilene to Athens by ship and I couldn't be more satisfied. It managed to make me feel as comfortable as possible with just the help of a chair and another one for my feet. The pillow can be used either as a neck pillow or as a regular pillow if you want to lie down. It is very soft and will take the appropriate shape depending on the surface it is on (chair angle, floor, etc.). I never felt like I needed "more" pillow, it is very satisfactory and not at all hard or inadequate. Of course, as soon as you release it from the weight of your head, it will regain its original shape. It is quite large, which personally I consider very good, but it is also a matter of personal preference. Anyway, with this size, my head is comfortable no matter what position I take (sideways, right, left, etc.), and it also does a great job as a regular pillow, meaning when I don't wear it on my neck but simply lie on it. OK, if I have to be more strict, the only thing I have to say is that it is not tight enough around my neck, even though it is thick, which doesn't really matter in the end, I just usually wear it as soon as I get on the ship and walk around with it, so it may gradually start to fall down (it's not easy, it takes quite an effort). Also, now with the heat, the thin fleece with which it is lined warms you up a bit. You won't sweat, but you can tell that the area around your neck is quite warm. I'll say thank you in the winter. To sum up, this fleece can be taken out and washed after each trip, it has a zipper on the back. 5/5 purchase, I hope I covered you! Have a nice day!
