Pluto Pod
Travelers who are tired of flimsy, ineffective neck pillows may find the Pluto POD a genuine upgrade. Designed with input from sleep researchers, flight attendants and frequent flyers, this pillow combines 360-degree neck support with a pillowed hood that lets you lean in any direction. It also features a built-in, convertible eye mask that tucks away without detaching, so you can use the hood, mask or both depending on what you need. The exterior is a cool-touch plush for comfort, and the POD snaps into a compact travel mode with a small carabiner for attaching to your carry-on. Price: $145.
