Next best thing since sliced bread

TravelRest – The Ultimate Inflatable Travel Pillow

By V. de Leon

Forget the futile U-shaped pillows – this is the next best thing since sliced bread and probably one of the most useful things $30 can buy. It’s easily inflatable in 2.5 full puffs of air and conveniently fits in my purse (which is rather small in size compared to those trendy ginormous shoulder bags) when deflated. In use, it’s almost like I’m leaning on my husband’s shoulder but better because 1) I don’t end up feel guilty for using my husband as a headrest for a 5-hour flight and 2) it’s more comfortable than leaning on my husband because I didn’t have to bend your head as far. I bought this pillow for a red-eye from CA to NY and was delighted that I got at least 3 straight hours of sleep; in the past, I considered myself lucky if I got more than 1 hour. And the icing on the cake? The exceptional customer service (a rare commodity these days) provided when I asked if I would and could get my pillow in time (as I procrastinated and waited until several days before my flight to place the order). FYI: I followed the advice from other reviewers and slung the pillow around me like a messenger bag – worked like a charm. I can’t wait to use it for international flights!
