TRAVELREST Ultimate Travel Neck and Body Pillow - Unparalled Support Design, Essentail for Bus, Train, Airplane, Office, Wheelchairs, Comfort and Support, Rolls Up, Straps to Airplane Seat & Car- Blue

After years of trying different travel pillows on long-haul flights, the Travelrest 4-in-1 has been one of the few that genuinely improved my ability to sleep comfortably in economy class. What makes it different for me is that it supports more than just the neck. It helps stabilise the upper body as well, which significantly reduces the constant repositioning and head movement that normally wakes me up during flights. I’ve found it especially useful in aisle seats where there’s no aircraft wall to lean against. Combined with a good sleep mask and noise-cancelling headphones, it creates a far more stable and comfortable sleep setup overall. Another thing I appreciate is that it packs down relatively compactly compared to many traditional travel pillows. I’ve now used mine regularly for years across long-haul flights, airport waits, and overnight layovers, and it has become a permanent part of my travel setup. It’s not a magic solution — economy class is still economy class — but for me it made overnight flights significantly more manageable and helped turn travel from something to endure into something much easier to move through comfortably.

Of all the travel cushions that I've tried (see below) this provided the best comfort on a long-haul flight -- much better than anything else. It is also the most portable, since it can be deflated and rolled-up. However, there are also some negative points: The seam is quite rough against the skin and therefore it is useful to have something else -- a scarf for example -- to prevent the seam rubbing on the neck. I'd previously reported this item as having developed a leak and deflating rapidly however, at the seller/manufacturer's suggestion I did eventually get around to inflating it and then submersing it in water to see if there were any bubbles. No bubbles were observed, not even when I squeezed it. I'm therefore inclined to accept the seller's suggestion that the apparent deflation was actually caused by a changes in cabin pressure in the aircraft. I suppose temperature changes could also have a similar effect. The other travel cushion things that I've tried, and found to be worse than this grey inflatable thing are: The "J Pillow" The "Embrace sleep collar"

I use the Travelrest pillow along with the additional (separately purchased) luxuriousTravelrest Cover - Luxurious Velour with Memory Foam Inserts. It goes well with the Travelrest - 4-in-1 Premier Class Travel Blanket with Pocket - Covers Shoulders - Soft and Luxurious (travel, sporting events, home, auto) which can provide back support when not used as a blanket. In my most recent coach journey, I used the blanket to support my back and the pillow for my head (I also sprayed a bit of separately purchased Lavender Slumber Spray on the pillow head rest). The result? My bus journey was unlike any other. It is possible to share the pillow by putting it between two seats so that both passengers are able to lean their head against it and snooze comfortably. The pillow is perfect for using on the window side too. So, as the bus makes its way along a bumpy and sometimes jerky route, your head will remain protected from hitting the window, or from drooping forwards. The pillow is usable without the velour cover. However, the deluxe velour cover instantly upgrades the level of luxury to something more. The velour cover was soft enough on its own, however with the addition of the memory foam inserts provided along with it (i.e. with the velour cover), for the first time, I felt as though I was travelling in a different vehicle, or at least, a premium bus seat. The pillow (with and without the cover) is very compact and easily folds and wraps around a suitcase or laptop bag handle. Also, it is possible to wrap the drawstring on the back of a seat, or around one's body, or even to hold on to the stretchable clasp at the bottom of pillow without attaching it to anything. All of this awesomeness only took a mere 6 SECONDS to get ready to use. As soon as I took my seat, I unfolded the pillow from my laptop bag handle and inflated it within seconds. No fiddling about required for inflating or deflating. I will not be without this pillow on any of my future journeys by bus, car, plane. All in all, a highly recommended travel pillow for the casual and more adventurous traveller.

Arrived promptly. Nice red colour with soft coating. Directions take a few minutes to understand, but easy enough and I was up and running in very little time. Comfortable to use and YES it works. Probably, of all the neck pillows for travel that I have used, this one was the second most comfortable. The very absolute best, was a specially contoured memory foam pillow - but that does take up more space. However - and it is a BIG HOWEVER. About 2 hours into a 7 hour flight from St Lucia to London, it developed a leak. I had definitely not mis-treated it in any way and can only assume it was a quality issue. The seams are re heat glued - no more - and with minimal input, it would seem. But those 2 hours gave me some idea that if this was just bad luck, it would be worth trying again. So, undeterred, I purchased a replacement for my next transatlantic flight - an 11 hour night flight from LA to London. This time, things even worse. Removed the little thing from its packaging and the moment I blew in to the valve, the valve flew off. Just a great gaping hole now. Without the valve, of course, not one iota of air can remain. I regret, these incidences were too much for me. Yes, I could have been *really* unlucky twice over - or it could be that these things are great but only for a very short time. Quality on both mine just really poor. My solution: take a little less luggage and make room for my memory foam neck pillow, which is reliable as an old pair of comfy flannel pyjamas. Sleep tight.

In my first review dated 14 January 2016 (see below) I had not tried the pillow on a flight. I am currently in Nicaragua having spent a week in Costa Rica and have now used the pillow on several journeys. The flight from the Uk to Costa Rica involved 14 hours of flying and I was delighted with the pillow. I found the most comfortable way was strapped round my body and also I felt it was rather antisocial to strap it on the seat! I have now used it on two flights, three coach trips and in a car and would thoroughly recommend it. It prevented my head from falling forward and protected my neck. When not in use I like the fact it deflates to a small size. It is not the cheapest on the market but I think it is definitely worth the price. I am flying from the UK to Costa Rica shortly which will involve long flights followed by several bus journeys. As someone who finds sleeping on planes difficult I researched travel pillows on Amazon. Having been less than satisfied with the traditional neck support pillows in the past I decided to try the Travelrest pillow and am delighted with it. I have tried it at home in various chairs and am very impressed with how comfortable and versatile it is. It gives great support to my neck and upper body when I am in an upright position. I am therefore confident that it will work both on planes and in buses. It is quick and easy to inflate and deflate and will attach to luggage but is also small enough to fit into a handbag. As someone who travels a lot I know that the Travelrest pillow is going to help me sleep whether on a plane, in a car or on a bus journey. A great find!

So I needed a travel pillow for my imminent trip on several super long hall flights (Nepal, New Zealand, Vietnam). Naturally I went straight to Amazon and the best reviewed items. This travelrest pillow seemed to tick all the boxes - great reviews, clever design, small, and most importantly it was comfortable. Or so I thought. 4 hours into a flight to India I was looking longingly at my girlfriends travel pillow that attached around her neck wishing I had the same, or even wishing I had once of those cheap neck pillows you can pick up from a pound shop! It's a real shame as the company seems nice and they are clearly proud of their innovative design. However it just doesn't work, for the following key reasons; 1) it offers no neck support (the woman in the advertising picture should have her chin drooping on her chest) 2) you can jam it in place using the string as suggested but it will inevitably come un-jammed as you move trying to get comfortable (even with your arm in place as per the instructions) 3) it's just too bulky when in use and a faff to move between shoulders mid-snooze. I dearly hope I am missing something and will try it on another flight in a few days. However I've used it on both buses and planes and so far it has been terrible. I have no idea how it justifies its cost (although not that expensive in the grand scheme of things) and how everyone else gets on with it. My advice would be to think about the most uncomfortable thing about trying to sleep whilst flying. For me this is the inevitable head droop as the neck muscles just want to relax but can't, and the resulting stiff neck and no sleep. Then find a pillow that solves that problem. I for one will be scouring duty free before my flight to NZ for a pillow that works, no matter the cost.

Unlike usual neck pillows that feel constricting. This product was very comfortable and versatile on a 14 hour flight. Easy to inflate and deflate and takes can fit in a pocket. Looks and feels good quality. Happy with this purchase.

Too big, uncomfortable, and the material is not soft enough.

Ich hatte bereits das gleich Reisekissen, leider ist nach ein paar mal waschen der Reißverschluss kaputt gegangen. Da ich mit dem Reisekissen aber sehr zufrieden war, habe ich es mir nochmals bestellt. Das Reisekissen lässt sich schön klein zusammenrollen, so dass man es leicht im Handgepäck mitnehmen kann. Genauso leicht lässt es sich aufblasen und durch den leicht zugänglichen Knopf lässt sich die Luft im Kissen sehr schnell anpassen. Sehr gut finde ich, dass man es in verschiedenen Positionen verwenden kann. Und wenn ich es im Flieger nicht als Stütze für den Kopf brauche, kann man es super z.B. bei einem Fensterplatz zwischen die Flugzeugwand und der Sitz einklemmen und hat so nicht nur gute Stütze für den Arm sondern auch noch ein Wärmeisolierung. Ich bin mit dem Reisekissen mehr als zufrieden.

Skön resekudde för bil och eventuellt flyg. Köpte den inför en 80 mils bilresa. Fick knappt ha den själv då barnen tyckte den var så bra. Den är mjuk och skön med sitt velourfodral, skulle inte vilja ha den utan det mjuka fodralet. Var noga att välj rätt när ni beställer, det står lite fel på där man väljer vilken kudde man man vill ha. Välj den som inte står cover med. Men läser man uppe i beskrivningen så står det att det är cover med. Tror därför vissa har blivit besvikna då de råkat beställa fel version. Så läs noga på beskrivningen så ni får rätt.

Lo he probado en un viaje reciente en el que me tocó pasar parte del vuelo de noche tanto a la ida como a la vuelta. Es una maravilla, puesto que te puedes agarrar al mismo y parece que tienes una cómoda almohada. Como va sujeto en la parte inferior al cinturón, no molesta en absoluto y en caso de que sea preciso quitarlo para tomar algo o salir, es tan sencillo como desenganchar el cinturón de seguridad y quitar el tapón que tiene para desinflarlo, lo que se hace en un santiamén. Las otras almohadas parece que te estrangulan, pero con esta, vas comodísimo. Estoy encantado con la compra y por supuesto que si tuviera que repetir, ni me lo pienso, vuelvo a comprar este modelo. Por cierto, el complemento es la funda que trae, la cual tiene un tejido de lo más agradable, ni sudas ni nada y además hace que sea más mullida, con lo que es una maravilla. Iba buscando no tener dolor de cuello y desde luego con esta almohada se consigue. MUY RECOMENDABLE.

I'm the type of person who falls asleep almost immediately on road trips. I have gotten used to lugging a pillow around with me everywhere so that I can also have a good nap when I travel. I've tried other travel pillows but have always been disappointed. The "Total Pillow" is very prone to breaking and leaking out the tiny white beads everywhere. The "Horseshoe Shaped" ones usually require that I sleep with my head tilted back on it - making it so I usually end up with my mouth wide open, which usually makes me snore, allows bugs full access to my stomach, great for people to punk me and drop weird stuff in there, etc. It's just horrible. It's not very comfortable, flattering, or sanitary. My head often drops forward and I wake up with a jolt too. I just hate it. Memory Foam pillows are more comfortable, but not very portable so that is out of the question. With as much stuff as I travel with, I really don't want to be lugging around a bulky pillow around too. So here is where the TravelRest pillow comes in. Pros: Very comfortable, easy to inflate and deflate, very portable, very easy to pack/carry - very compact when deflated. Very easy to adjust firmness and settle into. I lean into it and my head goes to the side in a very natural position - allowing for me to finally sleep without my mouth gaping wide open for the whole world to see. No more worrying about snoring and eating bugs while I sleep out in public. I can now sleep without worrying about my head falling over to the person next to me too and it gives me a nice separation too. I can use it like a border between me and strangers. It's actually long enough to lay across my lap and it sits on the armrests and becomes a little table too. Not a real hard table, obviously, but I can then rest a food tray or book on it - so it's very comfortable that way too. Cons: The seams are on the sides of the pillow, right on the inside where I'm resting my neck so it kind of annoys my neck right there. This is easily fixed by sliding my favorite super soft t-shirt over it as a sort of pillow case. I see that they sell a microfiber fleece cover for this pillow as well and that might be another option. That or a flannel pillow case...or just throw whatever overshirt/jacket you are carrying with you over it. Since there are options, I would consider this to be a very minor flaw - easily corrected. My favorite way of using this pillow is to wear it messenger-bag style. You loop the string onto itself so it becomes a strap and you throw that over one shoulder - like how you would wear a messenger bag - then you just hug/lean into the pillow. It's very comfortable and stays put. I really don't understand all the complaints about tying it to head rests and bothering other people's food trays/tvs, etc. I think that the messenger style of wearing it is the most comfortable and that elimates all those complaints easily. When I travel, I tend to be very mobile too and would be uncomfortable tethering my personal item to a seat. It's not like I'm setting up camp here...I'm just sitting here temporarily and I'll be on my way. It's nice to have those options - but if those options are not viable at that particular moment and you still have the option of just wearing the pillow. I don't see what the big deal is. I've also found that it's not like you HAVE to have your head tilted to the side all the time. The pillow has a "L-shape" to it so you can hook it behind your neck a little more and lean back into it. This was something I was worried about when I first saw the pictures in the reviews so I'm glad that I can still just lean back (in case I want to watch a movie or something). ...speaking of movies, I would seriously take this into a movie theatre with me. I always have a hard time getting comfortable in the theatre for the long movies and this thing is just so comfortable no matter where you're sitting to just blow it up and lean/hug into it. It's like a body pillow that you can take with you everywhere. In fact, if they offered up that option, I would sooo buy it in an instant. Possible improvements to this product: Another pillow that's larger, more huggable. To me, that would make it just that much more comfortable and since this is inflatable, it wouldn't be adding that much more bulk. It would still be very compact. Another thing I would like is a longer "L-shape". It might be nice if it wrapped around your neck more, giving you even more option of how you can use it. One last suggestion would be different options for pillow cases: different colors, different materials, something more soft and cuddly. Conclusion: I really like this travel pillow a lot. I am taking this with me everywhere: road trips, plane rides, movie theatre, etc... Anywhere where I can sit is where I can pull out this pillow and hug it, easing into a very comfortable position. It really takes the strain out of lower back/lumbar pain when you can lean over to the side a little. Takes the strain out of my neck/shoulders when I can rest my head over to the side. I would definitely recommend this pillow to anyone. There are some things that could be improved upon, yes...but it works well as it is and if they improved this product in the future, that would be just icing on the cake.

It's good one. You just need to know how to use it.
