What Makes a Great Travel Pillow for Flights?
Ergonomic Neck and Head Support
A travel pillow should do more than just cushion—it should support. SmartSilk’s Neck Pillow is designed to keep your cervical spine aligned while sitting upright, reducing stiffness and post-flight soreness.
Breathable, Moisture-Wicking Materials
Synthetic travel pillows often trap heat and sweat. Ours are lined with breathable, hypoallergenic silk that naturally regulates temperature and wicks away moisture—so you stay fresh, even on long-haul flights.
Compact, Packable Comfort
SmartSilk pillows are lightweight and easy to stow, making them ideal carry-on companions. From your window seat to your hotel, they deliver consistent comfort on the go.
Naturally Hypoallergenic for Travel Cleanliness
Planes can be full of allergens, germs, and dust. Our pillows are naturally hypoallergenic and made with pure materials, giving you peace of mind in unfamiliar environments.
SmartSilk Travel Pillows You’ll Love In-Flight
SmartSilk Neck Pillow
Designed for upright support, this pillow gently cradles your neck during long flights, preventing your head from slumping and reducing next-day stiffness. The silk lining keeps you cool and dry—even in stuffy cabins.
SmartSilk Support Pillow
Versatile and compact, the Support Pillow works as a lumbar cushion, armrest, or even head pillow. Ideal for mid-flight naps, train rides, and hotel stays, it offers breathable comfort with SmartSilk’s signature hypoallergenic design.
Tips for Sleeping Better on Long Flights
Choose the Right Pillow Shape
If you sleep upright, a U-shaped neck pillow works best. For side sleepers or reclining rest, a supportive rectangular pillow offers more flexibility. Use both for layered comfort.
Pair with an Eye Mask and Blanket
Set the scene for better sleep. Block out cabin light with a silk eye mask and bring a breathable blanket to stay cozy without overheating.
Hydrate and Avoid Stimulants
Stay hydrated and avoid caffeine before boarding. Pair your SmartSilk pillow with restful habits to maximize in-flight recovery.
