Attention, passengers: You can now return your head to its upright position. (Amazon)
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!
This set comes in three colors: Get it in black or green for this price, or snag it in gray for a bit more.
Why keep tripping over bottles of shampoo and conditioner when these handy shower shelves exist? This top-selling set claims to hold up to 40 pounds (that's a lot of shampoo) and comes with five storage racks in different sizes for all of your bathtime essentials. All you need to do is apply the included adhesives to stick 'em on the wall.
Sleep hot? These moisture-wicking sleep cushions are filled with a plush, down alternative (100% polyester) encased in a soft, breathable sateen cover, and its moisture-wicking properties help keep you cool and dry while you snooze.
"These pillows are great for proper head and neck alignment and plump up beautifully after opening from being vacuum sealed," raved one satisfied sleeper. "I’ve tried many different types of pillows through the years, which had to be plumped during the night … not anymore! Soft, but not too soft, and breathable."
This small but mighty chain saw is powerful enough to take down tree branches, yet weighs under 2.5 pounds. It's also cordless. Overgrown shrubs, you've met your match. This is the lowest price we've seen for this top-seller.
This popular mixer combines power and economy — snag it in classic black or white.
This No. 1 bestseller comes with just about every type of blade a home cook could need: a 3-inch paring knife, 5-inch serrated utility knife, 7-inch santoku knife, 8-inch chef's knife, 8-inch bread knife and six 4.5-inch steak knives, as well as a professional honing steel, kitchen shears and a hardwood knife block. Henckels has been crafting quality knives for over a century, so you can rest assured the brand knows what it's doing.
"Finally, sharp (and safe) knives," wrote a happy home cook. "I have been used to ordinary knives until my brother, who is a chef, convinced me to upgrade to Henckels. I must admit, I was a bit nervous at first, worrying about cutting myself, but the grip on these knives keeps my hands from slipping. They are extremely sharp and do a great job in the kitchen."
This travel pillow can twist and mold into the shape you need it to for your most comfortable trip ever — whether it's in the car, in a plane or on a train.
What sets this travel neck pillow 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.
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."
Can you really put a price on comfort for a flight or road trip? While this travel pillow goes on sale throughout the year, we don't expect the price to drop lower than it is now until (at least) fall. To put it into perspective, the last time it was this low was during Prime Day.
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.
More than 7,000 shoppers have given this twisty 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."
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.
