The inflatable Komfort Kollar provides support around the neck and under the chin. It resembles a neck brace or cervical collar. It is available in three sizes: small (for neck size 14), medium (for neck sizes 14½ to 16½) and large (for neck sizes 17 or larger). When deflated, it weighs 7 ounces. Reviewers say the Komfort Kollar keeps the head snug and upright, eliminating the risk of hyperextending, although several say it can be difficult to inflate and is prone to leaks. For at least one reviewer, the all-around neck support feels too constricting. A Memory Foam Komfort Kollar (*Est. $60) is also available, although it's much more expensive and only comes in one size.
The inflatable Komfort Kollar is included in comparison tests conducted by syndicated Canadian travel journalist Reb Stevenson and The Wall Street Journal. It receives brief reviews at Pilot-Pauls-Travel-Accessories.com and The Archer Pelican blog. It is mentioned in a traveler's forum at FlyerTalk.com and in an article at CNNMoney.com. The retail website Magellans.com also contains many owner reviews.

Blogger Phil Marsosudiro provides a brief review of the inflatable Komfort Kollar. He says he has been using the pillow for two years and calls it "indispensable." He also offers some criticism, namely that it's too thick and that "even the correct-sized collar doesn't get under your chin as much as it should."
