Ivellow Compressible Travel Pillow Review — Compact, Firm & Supportive

Intro

The Memory Foam Travel Pillow is a compact, shredded-memory-foam cushion designed for people who need better sleep on the move — campers, frequent flyers, road trippers, festival-goers and anyone who naps in odd places. It’s pitched as a more supportive alternative to inflatable or plain cotton pillows, with a soft microfiber outer cover and a travel compression bag for packing.

Who this suits: you want a pillow that adapts to different sleeping positions and trip types (hammock, plane, tent, car, couch) and prefer a washable cover and low-maintenance foam fill. Quick verdict: a solid, no-frills memory-foam travel pillow that balances comfort and portability for short- to medium-length trips.

• 1 x shredded memory foam pillow (built with shredded memory foam)
• 1 x 100% microfiber pillow cover (soft, machine washable)

Design & Build

The pillow uses shredded memory foam as its core material, wrapped in a high-quality microfiber cover. Shredded foam behaves differently from a solid block: it conforms more easily, allows some air movement within the fill, and can be fluffed or redistributed to adjust loft and firmness. The microfiber cover provides a soft hand-feel and is marketed as comfortable for hotter sleepers.

Size: the pillow measures approximately 13.8 inches wide by 17.7 inches long (source: listing, checked 2025). These dimensions make it larger than some ultracompact inflatable neck pillows but smaller than a standard bed pillow, aiming for a compromise between support and packability.

Weight: not listed. The listing emphasizes “lightweight and portable” and notes it compresses into a travel bag for space-saving, but an exact weight is not provided (Not listed).

Ergonomics: the shredded memory foam lets you shape the pillow to support neck and head or use it as a small body pillow when sleeping on your side in a tent or RV. The cover’s soft texture reduces friction, useful for shifting positions during a long journey. Because the fill is shredded rather than solid, it may offer more adjustable support but slightly less uniform neck cradle than a molded travel neck pillow.

If you’re looking for a compact camping pillow or a travel pillow that fits inside a sleeping bag, these dimensions and the compressible design make it practical for backpacking and multi-mode travel (works well as a backpacking pillow for many users), though ultralight hikers who need every ounce may prefer an inflatable alternative.

Key Features

Adaptable for Multiple Trip Types

Benefit: One pillow for many uses.
Where it helps: The pillow is marketed for camping, fishing, backpacking, hiking, beach trips, festivals, plane rides, cars, RVs, tents, hotel stays, naps at the office or on the couch. The adaptable shape and shredded foam allow you to compress and reshape the pillow to match the sleeping surface — flatten it for a hammock, bunch it for neck support on a plane, or use it as a leg/head prop in a car.

Practical example: on a campsite night when your ground pad is thin, you can fold the pillow for extra loft under your neck; on a flight, compressing the fill into a narrower profile gives firmer neck support.

Soft, Shredded Memory Foam Fill

Benefit: Conforms to your body for localized pressure relief.
Where it helps: Compared with cotton or air-only pillows, shredded memory foam better follows the curves of your head and neck, distributing pressure and reducing hot spots. This is especially valuable when you need restorative sleep in an upright plane seat or an uneven sleeping pad.

Notes: shredded foam is adjustable (you can shift the fill to increase or decrease loft) but will not recreate the exact molding effect of a solid memory foam wedge.

High-Quality Microfiber Cover — Cooling & Hypoallergenic

Benefit: Soft touch with a cooler feel and reduced allergen risk.
Where it helps: Microfiber covers are smooth against the skin and can help wick moisture away during warm nights, which the listing highlights for “hot sleepers” (source: listing, checked 2025). If you have mild allergies, a synthetic cover plus foam fill is usually less hospitable to dust mites than down.

Care note: the microfiber cover is machine washable (instructions below), which keeps the sleeping surface fresh on long trips.

Compact, Compressible Design for Travel

Benefit: Saves space in a pack or suitcase.
Where it helps: At about 13.8″ × 17.7″, the pillow compresses into its travel bag to free up room in luggage. This makes it convenient for suitcase-packed business trips and car camping; it’s also sized to pair with a sleeping bag for campsite use.

Limitations: it won’t compress as small as an ultralight inflatable, so weight-sensitive backpackers should weigh trade-offs between comfort and pack size.

Machine-Washable Cover for Easy Care

Benefit: Lowers maintenance effort and keeps the pillow hygienic.
Where it helps: After a sweaty festival night or a long trip, you can machine wash the microfiber cover instead of spot-cleaning. The listing provides care directions: machine wash cold, do not bleach or use fabric softener; tumble dry low; ensure entire pillow and filling are dry before use (source: listing, checked 2025).

Important: Do not machine wash the memory foam fill — only the cover. Wet foam can trap moisture and break down or grow mildew if not fully dried.
