Travelrest - The Travel Pillow Reinvented

 Customer Reviews:* I could never find a travel pillow that worked for me, so for years I have been lugging around a 3 lb buckwheat pillow on every trip just to sleep on red eye flights. Being a side-sleeper, the neck pillows didn't keep my head high enough and wouldn't stay in place without me constantly repositioning them. But, I got this just before my last trip and found that it enabled me to sleep on a plane just about as well as I ever have (even without reclining the seat). The consistency can't match my buckwheat, of course (it feels the same as all other fuzzy inflatable pillows), but since it is 1/10 the size and weight, it wins hands down.The weird (okay "different") shape provides a much larger and more stable surface to put your head on. I wasn't able to attach the cord to the back of the seat because of electronics, but I attached the bottom to the seatbelt which helped a lot to keep it in place (especially when I hugged the middle). I thought it was more comfortable when it wasn't fully inflated and would have liked the top part to be even bigger (I ended up using some old neck pillows to fill up the window area and prop it up more), but the size was already getting quizzical looks from my seatmates (though they seemed intrigued). Although it is large, it is really quick and easy to inflate and deflate because the nozzle does not give much resistance. And, it is thin, so it doesn't get in the way and rolls up very small.All in all, if you like the neck pillows then you probably don't need this. But, if you are a side sleeper, want a larger surface area, or like to hold on to something when sleeping, then you should definitely check this out.* When airline employees travel we fly stand by, which means we end up with the last seats on the plane, usually a middle seat next to strangers. I've never been able to comfortably fall asleep on a plane for fear my head would nod on to the stranger next to me (or theirs on me). The TravelRest pillow has solved that problem. Not only did it provide the necessary privacy from the person next to me, it supported my head and neck and allowed me to relax and sleep.The first time I used it, by the time I got into my middle seat the person at the window was asleep. Not wanting to wake them in order to attach the cord to the seat, I wore my pillow. I liked hugging it across my chest, but also put it on the side and leaned into it. It made me feel cozy and `tucked in'. I was also able to move it from one side to the other without bothering the people around me.While working, I've seen so many people bobbing their heads or leaning on the stranger next to them, this pillow would solve that problem. It can also be used in the gate areas while waiting for your flight, as well as on buses, trains or cars. The fact that it is so compact when deflated is an added bonus. I highly recommend everyone get one of these pillows.
