Compression halves bulk and changes nothing about weight, which matters because on Indian carriers with a 7 kg cabin limit weight is usually the binding constraint.

The flat back panel is the whole design and it addresses why most travel pillows fail: a round one fills the gap between head and seat and pushes the head forward, which is worse than nothing.
Full details →Who the Peak Design Compression Packing Cube Medium is for
Buy it if: Anyone constrained by case volume rather than by an airline weight limit.
Avoid it if: Anyone up against a 7 kg cabin weight limit -- compression adds weight and saves none.
Who the Cabeau Evolution S3 Memory Foam Travel Neck Pillow is for
Buy it if: Anyone who has found round neck pillows push their head uncomfortably forward.
Avoid it if: Anyone who dislikes anything fastened at the throat -- the front clasp is central to the design.
