Cuddly Travel Pillow Provides Support

If you’ve ever contorted your body into an airplane seat, you already know that they are not designed for comfort. Fitting the maximum amount of people into a minimum of space may be good for business, but it’s bad for relaxation.
If you need to get some rest while you travel, or anytime that you’re sitting upright, the TravelRest pillow from HiGear Design may be just what you’re looking for.
The TravelRest pillow is an inflatable travel pillow, with a patented ergonomic shape and tethered design. Tethered means that it can be either tethered to a seat back (for in the car use) or to the user, messenger bag-style. Nestle it up against your shoulders and neck, tuck it between you and the armrest, drape it across your chest, or just cuddle up with it.
Works in any airline seat, automobile, train, bus, chair or sofa, or even when sitting against a wall, allowing you to sleep anywhere, anytime in comfort and with support.
Although I haven’t personally tried out this travel pillow, and my favorite way to sleep while flying in on a lay-flat seat in Business Class, this looks like it might just do the trick for all those times that Plan A doesn’t work out.

the pillow looks awful. the BEST ever travel pillow is the BUCKY utopia. The Bucky Uoptia is plush and supportive – washable–does everything a good travel pillow should.
I’ve tried this TravelRest pillow and it works like a charm. I’ve been a flight attendant for 18 years and I’ve tried just about every pillow on the market that I could get my hands on. Several of my coworkers started using this pillow and I quickly bought one to give it a try. This pillow provides all the promised comfort and it rolls up to about the size of a pair of socks. The only negative is that lint often sticks to it but I just occasionally use a lint brush. A+
