The worst part about traveling is...well, traveling. Nobody likes to spend hours sitting in a cramped space between two strangers with little to no legroom. If you think about it, every flight or bus ride is the worst way to begin and end just about every voyage. Not to mention all of that wasted time in busy and loud airports or train stations waiting to connect.

If you travel a lot, then getting a comfy travel pillow is probably the most important thing you could do. (Also up there? Investing in some smart luggage, snagging a quality travel adapter, and finding the right thing to binge-watch on your flight.) The absolute best thing you can do is to try to make the whole process as comfortable and relaxing as possible.

We rounded up the best travel pillows that will make your next trip cozy and pleasant without taking up valuable luggage space. Whether you are a heavy or light sleeper, there's a travel pillow out there that will suit you, and might even lead you to enjoy the journey a bit more.
