pillows and blankets
 
Do any of you carry them for the plane and, if so, which ones do you like?

Thanks

Because I have difficulty sleeping on a plane, I find that this "Komfort Kollar" sold by Magellans works best for me. They also have a memory foam version.

It allows me to sleep while almost upright in those tight, economy seats. My head isn't down on my chest, but held upright. I don't bother taking a blanket, as they are provided on overseas flights. I use the pillow that's provided in the small of my back.

I can sleep just about anywhere, but for planes, I always have my pashmina and blow-up pillow to keep head upright when sleeping in coach seats. As intl flights are still providing blankets, I use this over the pashmina if it gets real cold. Otherwise use blanket and/or the pillow provided at small of my back.

A like a blow up pillow. No blankets.

I always travel with my 1st Class Sleeper. It sure helps my back and keeps my head in place when I dose off. You don't need a pillow with this. Take a look here: http://www.1stclasssleeper.com

I second the first-class sleeper. It looks a little (read: a lot) silly, but I don't care because my eyes are closed as I slumber though the entire flight. (With the help of my little friend, mr. ambien.) I've used it to Europe, Far East, Africa. I wouldn't go through airport security without it!

Ambien. That is all I need!
