'I slept 7 hours straight on a plane!': Save nearly 40% on a twisty pillow at Amazon
Can you really put a price on comfort for a flight or road trip? While this travel pillow goes on sale throughout the year, we don't expect the price to drop lower than it is now until (at least) fall — and over 7,000 have been sold in just the past month.
For the savvy traveler, this pillow can make all your trips for 2025 a lot more comfortable. What sets it apart from those flimsy U-shaped ones sold at the airport? For starters, it's made from cushy yet supportive memory foam to keep your neck in place. On top of that, it can twist into whatever shape you want for a restful sleep when you're stuck sitting upright. It even has a clasp to keep it in place.
Not only is it comfy, but the cover can be removed and washed. That means you can refresh it for every trip you take.
Nearly 8,000 shoppers have given this twisty pillow a five-star rating — and they use it for more than just traveling!
Pros 👍
"I've traveled for 40 years and this one IS the best," shared a rave reviewer. "I've bought and used all kinds of travel pillows … This one works for me because it's able to be formed into what I need at the time…leaning against the airplane window or changing it to straight ahead and holding my head in place without flipping around. I love it … so what's to lose? Try it!"
"This has to be one of the best purchases I've made on Amazon," a doting daughter wrote. "My elderly mother lives at home with a live-in caregiver. She often sleeps in her recliner chair and no matter how we've tried to prop up her head as she sleeps, my mother's head invariably falls to the side. With this memory foam pillow, her head is held up and she no longer ends up with a stiff neck etc. It's soft and yet easily molded to her neck and head."
"I love this thing!" gushed a five-star fan. "I am a person who suffers from cervical dystonia, which is a very painful disorder of the neck. I had been searching for a new travel pillow when I discovered this crazy-looking thing. I can adjust it to support my neck in any direction I choose! It folds up nice and compact when I need it to and it pulls out of my tote bag and supports me whenever and wherever I need it to!"
"You probably need this!" raved another fan. "It's a bit bulky but the comfort and support it provides outweighs any annoyances of carrying it around. I slept 7 hours straight on a plane with this thing. A miracle!"
Cons 👎
Some travelers felt the pillow wasn't cushy enough. "Got it for my husband who needs to support his head and neck," said one. "He found it way too hard."
Echoed another: "Great idea but not very comfortable. The main support mechanism is a hard plastic 'spine' that allows you to shape and twist it to your 'comfort.' The problem is this 'spine' is hard and makes the overall product uncomfortable to use."

Once known as 'Dirty Myrtle,' Myrtle Beach is now the fastest-growing US metro for seniors
A South Carolina beach town once nicknamed 'Dirty Myrtle' because of its rowdy nightclubs and strip joints has become a magnet for retirees in a nation that continues to age. The number of residents age 65 years and older in the Myrtle Beach metropolitan area grew by 6.3% last year, making it the fastest-growing metro area for senior citizens in the U.S., according to population estimates the U.S. Census Bureau released last week. During the 2020s, Myrtle Beach's senior population has grown by more than 22%, also the fastest rate in the United States this decade. Senior citizens now make up more than a quarter of the around 413,000 residents in metro Myrtle Beach, which once was known for being a budget beach destination. The community with a mile-long boardwalk and 200-foot Ferris wheel used to attract biker rallies which the city tried to end in the late 2000s because of the noise, traffic and rowdiness. But now the noisy streets have had to make room for quiet diners and pickleball courts. The COVID-19 pandemic played a role in the area's senior boom as people in such places as Ohio and New York who had been vacationing for years in Myrtle Beach realized they could retire early or work from home anywhere, said Mark Kruea, a longtime public information officer for Myrtle Beach who is now running to be mayor. 'Many people converted that thought into action,' Kruea said. 'The climate's great, taxes are low, there's a wealth of opportunities for recreation, dining and shopping.' A graying United States The U.S. population age 65 and older rose by 3.1% last year, while the population under age 18 decreased by 0.2%. In the past two decades, seniors have increased from 12.4% to 18% of the U.S. population, while the share of children has dropped from 25% to 21.5%, according to the population estimates. Maine, Vermont, and Florida were the only three states where older adults outnumbered children as recently as 2020. But four years later, those states were joined by Delaware, Hawaii, Montana, New Hampshire, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and West Virginia. Maine last year had the oldest median age at 44.8, while Utah's was the youngest at 32.4. Groups that saw the most growth The share of the U.S. population that is Hispanic reached 20% last year for the first time, helped by an annual gain of 1.9 million Hispanics mostly through migration. In pure numbers, the Hispanic population grew the most last year in the New York, Houston and Miami metro areas. When it comes to growth rates, the biggest gains were in smaller metros such as Ocala, Florida; Panama City, Florida; and St. Joseph, Missouri. For Black residents whose growth last year was split between migration and natural increase, the biggest gains were in the Houston, New York and Dallas-Fort Worth metro areas in pure numbers. Bozeman, Montana, and Provo, Utah — metro areas with tiny Black populations to start with — were tops in growth rates. In pure numbers, the New York, Dallas-Fort Worth and Seattle metro areas had the biggest Asian population gains, and the growth came primarily from migration. The largest growth rates were in three metro areas with small Asian populations: Farmington, New Mexico; Bismarck, North Dakota; and Burlington, North Carolina. The non-Hispanic white population in the United States declined slightly last year, but it grew the most in the Nashville, Tennessee; New York and Charlotte, North Carolina metro areas in pure numbers. The biggest growth rates for the white population were in the Myrtle Beach; Daphne-Fairhope, Alabama; and Wilmington, North Carolina metro areas. The decline in the white population was driven by deaths outpacing births. ___ Follow Mike Schneider on the social platform Bluesky: @

Mountain Line reduces services for the summer
Jul. 1—MORGANTOWN — Mountain Line Transit Authority will reduce services on four current bus routes starting today due to cuts requested by West Run and West Virginia University. According to Mountain Line CEO Maria Smith, the changes affect Route 30 West Run, Route 38 Blue & Gold, Route 44 Valley View and Route 6 Gold Line. For the Route 30 West Run, summer service will be discontinued beginning today. Service will resume Aug. 20 and run from 7:10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday with no evening runs. Late-night service on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights will remain unchanged. Route 38 Blue & Gold will run on a reduced schedule over the summer, operating from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday with no weekend service. Regular service, including university breaks, will resume Aug. 20. "We looked at the ridership trends, and summer service just wasn't sustainable with the requested budget cuts, " Smith said during the last Mountain Line board meeting. "Admissions are down, and that affects demand." Route 44 Valley View will not operate at all during the summer. It will resume Aug. 20, running during WVU's fall and spring sessions and university breaks. For the Route 6 Gold Line, subsidized by WVU, the Sunday service will be eliminated. The Gold Line will continue to run Monday through Saturday as usual. Smith said the changes follow budget adjustments requested by West Run and WVU due to financial constraints and declining ridership in some areas. "These service eliminations are a result of requested cuts in service by WVU and West Run, " Smith said in a statement. Riders are encouraged to plan ahead and look for alternative routes to meet their transportation needs. Mountain Line will continue to gather public feedback on the changes through an online survey and community meetings. Full route maps, updated schedules and trip-planning help are available at

How to Get the Private Jet Experience for a Bargain Price
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.—JSX likes to brag that you don't need to show up at the airport until 20 minutes before your semiprivate jet takes off. This newbie should have listened. I arrived at noon for my 1:20 p.m. flight from tiny Scottsdale Airport to Las Vegas in early June. Employees were in the middle of a training session. There was no one in the gate area but a pilot. And there were no bars or restaurants to pass the time because the air carrier operates out of an office park. (The departure lounge serves only tea and coffee.)
