Does this pillow pitch your head forward like the U-shaped travel pillows?

Not really because it doesn't go around behind your neck; it sits on your shoulder. I dislike U-shaped ones because of the forward head push so this worked better than those. However, I do wish that there was a sturdier infrastructure because the weight of my head was too much for the stuffing after awhile and my head would fall forward. Overall, I don't regret buying it but it wasn't the perfect thing I was hoping for. So close though!

no it doesnt, very comfortable. i fly from Dubai to Atlanta and back (14+hrs one way) and it is a great pillow! wish i would have bought it much sooner!

No it doesn't! It is sooooooo much better than the other styles--no comparison. I love it! You can also use it at home for relaxing etc.

I guess I never felt the u-shaped pillow did that but I would say this pillow is better anyway because of the extra J flap. It gives your head support from an additional angle.

Happily it doesn't. The "J" hook that goes under the chin prevents that from happening. :)

I did not find it to be as pronounced as with regular U pillows, but there is a slight pitch.

The neck rest seems to move forward with the head. Seems like a good thing though...I wouldn't want to cut off their air. Helps minimally.

I have both and yes, you can do as you suggest. I prefer the foam structure as it has more support on the back from the regular pillow, but used the travel version for two trips spanning 3 weeks and it worked just fine. If you don't have the regular pillow you won't miss it.

Yes, I have, however I purchased the travel pillow with a denser down from the manufacturer, http://www.allaboutdown.comIt is the same exact size, but has a denser fill. It works very well. Good Luck!

It DOES....but it may not survive airplne travel.Works FINE for a car trunk. (BTW, the pillow IS very small.....no substitute for a real hotel pillow!) Fooled me....but not a big problem.

I sleep on my side often and angle the pillow for my head to be kind of in the middle. Make sense? It works for me.

I'm sorry to say that yes, my head was not only pushed forward, the pillow was too big for me, even though I got the petite. I was looking for a pillow to use when I fly, to keep my head in one place, and to rest my neck on it. I fought with this pillow so much on this flight, I think I disturbed the passengers on either side of me.

It was worth the money. The clip at the front makes it worth it. It keeps the pillow in place. Also, my head sometimes falls forward when I sleeps, so it helps keeps my head so I don't end up getting a neck cramp (I turn the pillow around so the back is at the front). I also like how you can roll it up to a compact size and it fits nicely in your carry-on. I don't have to carry it around.

Check the website manual but I believe it's only forward. Also, the recline position is not a drastic recline, just slight.

I use it primarily in the car (while my child is in his carseat) as that is when he tends to need it due to sleeping and sitting, like on a long car trip. It does tilt his head forward, but we move it around to fit properly. My husband tried putting it on our son backwards so it propped his chin up while he was sleeping. Worked pretty well for us! :)

Yes, it fits the natural curve of the neck reliving pressure. I used to get headachesBecause of stress on the nerve in my neck. This has not occurred since I got this pillow.

I have only used the neck rest for traveling. I use it for sleeping on the plane and it keeps my head upright and comfortable.

Mine does! The back is much more straight than a regular car seat, but there are rests on either side of the ears, so that helps

It does elevate your head a bit but it is not super comfortable in that position. I use it to support my lower back when sitting up in bed. I place my regular pillows on top of this one. It is pretty stiff.

It doesn't squish down at all, but that's what you want in a neck pillow. The cool thing is the snap will allow you to hang it from a handle on the front of the bag so you don't have to make room inside your carryon for it.

No, not after you settle in and stop moving. Was my best purchase of 2013. I suffered from a stiff neck about once a month, lasting a week at a time. This pillow solved the problem. It works great to put it sideways in a regular size pillow case, tucking the remainder inside itself. This keeps the pillow thicker for side sleeping.

For me, it helped a lot especially compared to those U-shaped, foam bead-filled pillows that you find at the airport, because it doesn't push your neck forward and I can still use it to doze off even if my seat has to be upright for takeoffs/landings. I also like it because it is more compact than most travel pillows and I can just loop it onto my carryon handles or throw in it my tote.
