are there budget neck pillows as good as trtl?

I’m getting ready for a marathon 16-hour flight this summer, and honestly, my neck is already aching just thinking about it. I’ve seen so many people rave about the TRTL neck pillow, but when I checked the price, I nearly choked on my coffee—$60 for a travel pillow? That’s almost as much as my checked bag fee! I really want something that wraps around my neck and actually keeps my head from flopping around like a bobblehead. But at this point, I’m wondering if I’m just paying for the brand name. Has anyone found a cheaper pillow that actually works, or are all the affordable ones just sad lumps of foam that leave you waking up with a crick in your neck? I’d love to hear if there’s a hidden gem out there, or if I’m doomed to spend half my vacation budget on a pillow. It’s wild how travel accessories have gotten so expensive. Remember when a neck pillow was just a $10 horseshoe from the airport? Now I feel like I need to take out a loan just to nap on a plane. #travelhacks #neckpillow #longhaulflights #Travel
