My Review:
First, this thing is really soft. It has that comfy beaded feel. No, that's not describing it right. It's like those tiny foam beads that are in stuffed things. It's really quite comfortable.
You cycle through the massage settings, which is a good way to experience them all if you weren't inclined to check them all out in the first place. There is a nice variety and they all feel great when you're stuck in the car for a long or even traveling via plane.
I never attached mine to a headrest, but it works great without one. My batteries didn't last too long, but that could be because my two kids decided it was the coolest thing in the world and therefore had to use it every chance they got! So it is totally something that kids can work too and it's not like they can hurt it, just burn through the batteries faster.
So far, it hasn't held any smells and has remained fresh smelling.
In short, this neck travel pillow is great. If you fall asleep it's supportive, it massages you, kids can use it, it's easy to use, and doesn't smell funky! I'd say WIN. Definitely worth getting if you're in the market for a travel pillow!
