Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of TravelRest - The Travel Pillow Reinvented for Kids & Adults
Customer Review: For overnight flights, worth its weight in gold
Summary: 5 Stars
I fly a lot to Europe and Asia, in addition to West Coast to East Coast red-eyes. Over the years, I had tried the standard "horseshoe" neck pillows that we've all seen: I tried the inflatable ones, the ones filled with foam, the ones filled with buckwheat hulls, etc., etc. During each flight, I would fidget and fuss and try to get comfortable with the neck pillow, then eventually I give up, stuff it under my seat, and resign myself to reading instead of sleeping.
Out of desperation, I bought this product based on the incredible reviews. I was skeptical, but it was small (unlike the foam-filled neck pillows) and cost no more than a bad airport meal. So I gave it a try on a flight to India.
I was amazed. The crazy thing works! It's hard to describe how different this thing feels compared to a traditional neck pillow, but it's far more comfortable. It stays in place and seems to be a much better fit for the way your body and head want to position themselves when sleeping in an airplane seat. At last, an ergonomic airplane pillow.
In terms of price per hour of sleep, this product is a great investment. I'm glad I took a chance and bought it. I won't take another intercontinental flight without it. Kudos and thanks to the person/team that designed it.
After using this pillow for several months, I recently (a few weeks ago) bought the new microfleece cover. It puts a soft, cozy cover on the TravelRest pillow. The cover is very light weight and takes up minimal additional room. It takes a few minutes to fit it onto the pillow, but it's well worth it. It makes an already great product even cozier.
I know it sounds crazy to heap such lavish praise on a mere travel pillow, but this pillow really has made the difference between getting a few hours of sleep and no sleep at all on overnight flights. It's great.
