We found an amazing tool for
making travel more pleasant. Especially if one is travelling Coach class
which seems to be par for the course nowadays...
It was designed by a pilot who commuted for six
years between Seattle and Anchorage. " One day, the flight was empty,
I stuffed 11 pillows into the back of a seat. I couldn't even sit in it without
the seat belt holding me in. But I slept for two hours. That's when I knew I had
something, like a lumbar pillow that goes all the way up to your
shoulders.".
- Lightweight (17 ounces)
- Small (folds to the size of a travel umbrella)
- Easy to inflate (only 10-11 deep breaths)
- Able to inflate using the overhead air vent and the
free adapter hose
- Doctor recommended
- Able to be used by all ages (5 and older)
- Able to work in cars, trains and busses also
- Great for supporting neck and head when you are in
your recliner
The product has been featured prominently in US
media including:

"I've used it on four coast-to-coast trips now, and it's
pretty comfy. It takes some getting used to, though. You inflate it only
slightly -- it will still be squishy -- which takes only a dozen or so deep
breaths. Or you can inflate it from the air nozzle over the seat.
During takeoffs or for short flights, I folded it in half and used it as a
lumbar support, opening it fully when I wanted to nap. Before we landed, I
furled it into its case, about the size of a travel umbrella.
Now, all that's keeping you from shut-eye will be seatmates who want an
explanation. I say it's a La-Z-Boy for coach. " -
