Review on 🌙 Enhance Comfort with SkyRest® Inflatable Travel Pillow: Portable Head and Neck Rest for Planes, Cars, Buses, and Trains by Tammy Strinden

This didn't work for me, although it seems to have worked for some people. If you're considering buying one, you need to carefully consider whether you're going to compete with successful users or losers in terms of sleeping position, height, your typical seat on an airplane, etc. I tried this after a frequent flyer friend recommended it to me. I've used it on two long-haul red-eye flights, one trans-Atlantic, one trans-Pacific, both with United in Economy Plus. Both times I got little or no sleep. I will no longer use it. Here are the minimum requirements to even consider a purchase. (1) You should sleep in the foreground: In bed you usually sleep completely on your stomach or with your bottom three quarters on your stomach. hand behind you. If you don't do this, the position of the neck will become too uncomfortable when using the pillow. (2) You must be in an aircraft seat with a seatback in front. This is to lean on. Some of the photos show people using the pillow separately without leaning on anything in front of them: I tried this as an experiment, but I didn't succeed. If you're sitting in a bulkhead row or an exit row and your tray doesn't fall off the back of the seat in front of you, this probably won't work. (3) In my opinion, this is indeed highly recommended. that you have a free seat next to you. Obviously this is difficult to organize or guarantee on an airplane. That's because the pillow is so big when inflated that you have to put it down somewhere, if only for a minute, when you're not using it anymore. Otherwise you will constantly deflate and re-inflate it during flight. (It's easy and fairly quick to inflate by inflation. I tried using the top vent, it worked poorly and was slow.) As with other air cushions, once you inflate the cushion to the maximum, it becomes hard and uncomfortable, so I inflated. up to about 95% to give it some "bang for the buck". I also wrapped the pillow in a cotton t-shirt as a makeshift pillowcase. (You need an L or XL t-shirt). The surface is a synthetic "velvet" texture that isn't scary, but cotton is more comfortable. The first problem is that the pillow is not high enough. I'm 6ft 1in and 230lbs with a long torso (I'm tall sitting, you don't want to sit behind me in a movie theater). I had to lower my tray to use the tray cushion: my knees are too low. I also had to raise the pillow using my mini airplane pillow and a horseshoe shaped pillow I brought with me to set it at a comfortable height. This resulted in an unstable setup: my arms were wrapped around the pillow, but they couldn't relax. Basically, I had to consciously hold the pillow to keep it from falling off the other pillows and the tray. Even with a slightly deflated pillow and a height issue, I had to squeeze the pillow with my hands to raise the top to the correct height. It's not very relaxing. But by far the biggest problem was having to lean on the front seat. There is no question that this is worrying. person in the front seat. Every time I moved on the cushion, I would bother them, and every time they moved (including the seat recline), they would bother me. I just don't see how that can be avoided with this pillow. I went back to the horseshoe neck pillow. It's not very comfortable but doesn't bother the person in front of me and is small enough to be handled in my seat.
