Travelrest Nest Ultimate Memory Foam Travel Pillow
We love the shape of this travel pillow, with its tall top edges and angled inner walls providing incredible support for your head and neck. Plus, the shape of the back allows it to lay flat against the chair’s headrest, ensuring you can find a perfectly relaxed position when trying to catch some sleep during the flight, while rubber grip dots keep your head from slipping on the pillow’s surface. What we love most about this, though, is its ability to collapse to around a quarter of the size, allowing it to fit in a small pouch that you can simply slip inside your carry-on.

Cozysilk Mulberry Silk Sleeping Bag Liner

This liner, which measures 41 x 87 inches, should help eliminate any concerns by going over the sheets, so you’re certain you’re sleeping on a clean, unspoiled surface, complete with a pillow pocket, since those pillows are probably just as questionable as the sheets.
