Could you please help me gift the best neck pillow for sleeping on a flight?

Could you please help me gift the best neck pillow for sleeping on a flight?

I am overwhelmed by the options so trying to narrow it down. It doesn't need to be small and does need to be available to someone in Canada. The giftee has used an inflatable one years ago and liked that it kept their head up so they could sleep but did not like having to inflate it.

This infinity pillow gets rave reviews. I haven't tried it yet, but I like the idea of being able to hold it with my arms as I fall asleep.

Don't know how it stacks up against the infinity, which looks nice, but I have the trtl and like it.

I also use a turtl and am happy with it.

I have tried several others, but Turtl has been the best for me, too!

I use a PT-grade soft neck brace and imo it works a million times better than any flight-marketed neck pillows. It does look a lil silly (and people will ask “oh my gosh are you ok” if you are go through airports in regions where people are outwardly friendly)

something like this

Trtls are great because they take up so little room to pack into your luggage. In terms of comfort they're adequate, maybe good, but not fantastic (fantastic meaning identical-to-bed-pillow levels of comfort that I have never encountered in a travel pillow, sigh, my review isn't exactly fair I know).
