I've tried the inflatable kind and have either had problems inflating or the thing leaks. Then I got a cloth one and it doesn't support my head enough to get really comfortable enough for some serious rest in coach. Have any of you found an airline pillow that works?

I have a "Bucky" brand inflateable pillow which is covered with velor(sp?). Got it at REI. Doesn't make your neck/face sweat and it's narrower at one end than at the other which makes it more adjustable. Holds the air pretty well although after a few hours it needs a little extra puffing up. Easy to inflate and compress. Lightweight. Check out the Bucky website.

Have you tried the Eagle Creek Comfort travel pillow? Inflatable, but blows up in 2-3 puffs. The valve makes it easy to adjust with just a press of a button if you want it less "firm." I've used it for many trips for several years now, and it still hasn't leaked.

Thank you both for your responses. I will order one of these two online, unless someone else has an additional recommendation for me to check out/
