On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the Wilford & Sons neck pillow travel set with an average of 4.3 stars. Occasionally, the pillow is criticised for being too large and bulky on the plane. Many customers like the ergonomic shape, which provides good relief for both the head and cervical spine. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the memory foam and the elegant design stand out positively. We found the Velcro strap particularly practical, as it makes it easy to stow away, although the orientation of the fastener is occasionally perceived as irritating.
Prices of up to €70 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €9.99 . The neck pillow travel set from Wilford & Sons is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €26.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
