The Eagle Creek Comfort Travel Pillow is an inflatable, U-shaped neck pillow that receives some of the best reviews among this type of travel pillow. Reviewers say the fleece covering is very comfortable and the pillow provides good neck support. Reviewers also like that this pillow is easy to inflate. A few complain that the pillow holds their necks at an unnatural angle, and like other inflatable pillows, we found some user complaints about leaks. Filled, it measures 18 inches by 13.5 inches by 6 inches; deflated, it measures 8 inches by 7 inches by 0.8 inches, and it can be folded into a more compact form for packing. It is available in four colors: gray, red, blue and green, and has a removable, washable fleece cover.

The Eagle Creek Comfort Travel Pillow is included in comparison tests conducted by The New York Times, syndicated Canadian travel writer Reb Stevenson, and a writer at AssociatedContent.com. It receives user reviews at Magellans.com and is mentioned in traveler's forums at FlyerTalk.com and RickSteves.com.

Susan Stellin tests five inflatable pillows on a flight. She says the most comfortable pillow -- though not her overall favorite -- is the Eagle Creek Comfort Travel Pillow, although it is bigger than the others and thus loses points for portability.

However, she notes that the pillow's "unnatural angle means a big pain in the neck."
