My cheap travel pillow exploded on a flight to Denver

Last Tuesday, I was on a red eye to Denver and my inflatable neck pillow, which I got for $8 online, just popped. It made a loud noise like a balloon and scared the lady next to me. I spent the rest of the flight trying to sleep with my head against the cold window. Has anyone found a budget pillow that doesn't self-destruct?

Yeah, the rolled up sweatshirt move is a classic. I read somewhere that the really cheap inflatable ones often have weak seams from the factory.

Totally agree @the_thomas, same kinda thing happens with cheap phone cases too where the edges just peel apart after a month.

Oh man, I just gave up and use a rolled up sweatshirt now.
