Grand Trunk Hooded Travel Pillow Review:

Price and Where to Buy: The Grand Trunk Hooded Travel Pillow is available on Amazon starting at $24.99 for select colors.

How The Grand Trunk Hooded Travel Pillow Rates:

Usefulness: 8/10. The Grand Trunk Hooded Travel Pillow’s hood blocks out light and keeps your head warm, while the pillow portion supports your neck.
Value: 9/10. If you grab the Grand Trunk Hooded Travel Pillow at the sale price, it’s a great deal for a memory foam neck pillow.
Portability: 6/10. Although the pillow can be compressed down in the included carry sack, it’s still fairly bulky. It’s lightweight though, weighing in at just 13 oz.
Durability: 9/10. This is a well-made pillow and the memory foam should last a long time.
Cool Factor: 8/10. The hood portion is definitely much cooler-looking than a normal eye mask!

Final Verdict: The Grand Trunk Hooded Travel Pillow is for you if you love sleeping in a hoodie.
