Summary
Sits low on the shoulders so it doesn't interfere with over-ear headphones — a rare feature most pillows ignore. Reddit users love the flat-back version for letting your head rest naturally into the seat.
One of the most consistently praised U-shaped pillows on Reddit, with a raised back that actually keeps your head from rolling sideways. Rolls up tightly into its own carry bag.

Cons
- Low profile means less jaw/cheek support for some users
- Doesn't suit people who want full wraparound cushioning

Our take
If you're the type who watches movies with big headphones on long flights, the Bcozzy is the only pillow designed with you in mind. The flat-back variant is the one to get.
Cabeau has been the reliable workhorse of travel pillows for years, and Reddit keeps recommending it because it actually works. If you want a classic neck pillow done right, this is it.
