Is a travel neck pillow patented?

Short answer: specific designs of a travel neck pillow have been patented many times, but "a travel neck pillow" as a general idea is not what is protected. What matters is the exact combination of features in your version.

What this means for your idea

Because patents cover specific combinations of features, the useful question is not “has a travel neck pillow been patented?” but “has my combination of features been described before?” Neck pillows differ in the inflation or filling method, the closure, and the support geometry.
