Flying bus/economy on a long flight? This device is simple

I love to travel. all about it Yes, even talking to TSA doesn't dampen my excitement at the start of the trip (but I'm *am* TSA-Pre so your level of satisfaction may vary). As I love to travel and don't have a business account and don't bring in a lot of money, I travel bus/economy class as it allows me to spend more money on more trips. I just can't justify the cost of a First Class or Business Class seat. And that's okay. Unless I fly more than four hours in one flight. Then I get a bit annoyed about the first-class experience. Tell me the truth, don't think our team trainers just rub their noses when we have to trudge boarding through First Class/Business Class back to Economy Class. Chapter? There are all these people with free upgrades or extras, smugly settled into their comfortable chairs, stretching out their legs and enjoying a pre-flight drink. On a Lufthansa flight to Europe (13 hours one way!) I even saw vases with red rosebuds on the seating tables. even legroom, which is perfectly fine if you're under 4ft 11in. What I have trouble with are relaxation measures. My bus seat can recline a bit (or is the tilt in my seat just my imagination, while the front passenger's tilt seems like something I've seen on a LaZBoy seat in front of me?), but I can't sleep on the plane the whole time. Even with wine. Or homeopathic remedies. Or trick my brain by resetting my internal clock. the day before the flight. Put simply, I don't sleep on planes. Until I got my JetComfy pillow. At this point (July 2016) if you look at JetComfy you're probably seeing a lot of reviews written by non-Revain buyers. This is because the product was only officially shipped early last month. I've been on 3 round trips with this device at the moment (currently the longest 5.5 hours) and I'm more than happy to report that I slept. For example, my eyes were closed, my brain was completely turned off, and I was surprised when I woke up to see the flight attendants walking down the aisle to collect debris on board for the last time. And all this without the help of chemicals/alcohol. The device is simply attached around the armrest of the seat. This worked for me in the aisle, middle and window seats. This *doesn't* work on an armrest that isn't "open" at the bottom like you might find on a divider. It occupies only a few square inches on the armrest and stays firmly in place once attached. Although the armrest takes up some space that you can share with your seatmate, once it's installed you no longer "need" the armrest and you can throw the rest away. Sitting next to total strangers (as opposed to partial strangers) I found that they were first curious, then a little worried that I was going to invade their space, and then completely satisfied when they realized that JetComfy means I'm definitely not invading this space because now I'm well positioned in my seat, my head and neck are relaxed and there's no danger of falling sideways on it. But to be honest, I've never allowed myself to "bloom" in flight enough to invade her space; I used to just sit wide-eyed, tense and unyielding in my seat, worrying about sleep... However, my favorite place to use my JetComfy is in the window seat with the JetComfy on an armrest near the "wall" of the plane. I just sit back on the pillow and relax. I have used four other brands and types of travel pillows. These include Travelrest - Ultimate Travel Pillow - Lean & Sleep - #1 Best Seller - Ergonomic Neck Pillow - Airplanes, Cars, Buses, Trains, Office Sleep, Camping, Wheelchairs & Home (#1 by WSJ); the more typical Lewis N. Clark Travel Pillow, On Air Adjustable Neck Pillow, blue; a compressible ThermaRest pillow and a Brookstone 666115 Memory Foam Travel Pillow, which is inflatable and contains memory foam. When I need to support my own body, the JetComfy transfers that weight to the seatback, meaning I'm much more relaxed. The JetComfy "Arm" also has a built in flex so it provides a bit of cushioning when the plane is flying (and I'm napping now). put it in a Tumi backpack and carry it out of the box), it does its job better than any other pillow I've tried, so functionality is more important to me than a smaller product. The pen/flashlight/stylus came in handy in flight when I had to fill out the required confirmation form; I didn't have to reach for my flight bag to find a pen to fill out the form. Haven't used the battery yet - my iPad/iPhone stayed well charged during my flights so it wasn't necessary. Now I never go on long journeys without my JetComfy. Heck, I suggested the company test them in nursing homes/convalescent hospitals/convalescent hospitals, where patients spend a lot of time in a wheelchair and sometimes fall asleep with their heads pressed to their chests. I think JetComfy will make these people's lives a lot better!
