no question is ever dumb 'cept the one not asked....
not sure if you've explored inflatable travel pillows (aka "blow up dolls" as i call them

) but they do work, can be very comfy and take up very little space in your carry-on. see my post (#10) in this thread about travel pillows along with the other links about travel pillows in it.
