Tis the season for travel and I wonder this myself.
Last year I purchased this. It has a button to deflate. When full it seems to keep inflated. The problem is that it's not as comfortable as home! Ideally I'd like to find a foldable solid material type wedge. They do exist but I am not sure it could fit in my suitcase. When I traveled to Florida this winter I shoved a bolster under my side of the mattress. That helped but not perfect. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09JJ1S8G3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I keep looking at this, pricey and a bit bulky but might be better than a solid one, especially for traveling via airplane. https://www.travelwedge.com/default.asp
There are many foam wedges on Amazon which can be delivered to your destination.
If you need to travel on with one, they can be compressed into a large collapsible bag which you can bring with you
I found this much better than uncomfortable inflatable pillows

That's interesting and I never stopped to think about compressing a wedge. Delivery to destination, yes, but not compressing. Have you done this and just how small do they get?
I ended up ordering the travel wedge pro last night....maybe having 2nd thoughts
Sounds as if they have not yet designed the perfect solution for travel needs. Most seem to leak and are uncomfortable. I did see a folding wedge, but that still requires you to carry it and most likely not fit in your suitcase. Can’t imagine why it’s so difficult to have an inflatable wedge that doesn’t leak. Shifting gears does anybody have a reliable and compact traveling nebulizer to recommend?
The wedge I have does not officially fold but you can bend the thin end to fit into a bag- the one I have is called the Go bag
It has survived being checked on several flights
You can find the one I bought on amazon under "MedSlant Wedge Pillow for Acid Reflux, Folding Pillow Includes Zippered Folding Cover, Fitted Poly-Cotton Cover and Quality Carry Case" It has its own travel bag but even folded it is pretty large, so it takes up most of a piece of luggage so you end up paying to bring it.

The inflatable wedge I posted above does not leak but I do not find it as comfortable as foam. It has a push valve for letting out air. One trip I used it and it was fine but recently I found it difficult to get used to.
I sprung for the TravelWedge Pro which will fit in my suitcase. Self inflating. I'm a bit concerned about the plastic-y looking outside. Maybe the cotton cover I purchased will help.

Regarding travel nebulizer I have 3! PARI Sprint which many people have. It's fine, works with aerobika and nebulizers. Light, small compact, works.
Also, I am still using Philips InnoSpire Go. I have the foresight to purchase 2 when they were available. It's silent and fast but you cannot purchase it anymore.
I also sprung for the PARI eFlow when it was on a super sale. Small, lightweight, silent, fast. Even on sale it was pricey. It's loses more solution than the aeroeclipse nebulizer so I sometime add an extra saline when traveling.
For sterilizing I purchased a ramen pot for boiling. A lot of gear. I carry all this stuff on in its separate suitcase due to the lithium batteries and fear of losing checked luggage.

How does the carrying bag hold up from baggage handlers if checked? Thank you for posting this info!
Would it be possible to post a link for Go Bag? A simple google search was not conclusive.
