The Travelrest pillow comes with complete lateral support for your upper body so you can sleep and relax for a much longer period.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the pillow leads to the correct neck and head alignment and prevents your head going down. Aside from providing comfort, the Travelrest pillow is ideal for those who suffer from <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.medicinenet.com\/neck_pain\/article.htm\" target=\"_blank\">chronic neck pain<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The pillow inflates easily so it won\u2019t take long to prepare it, and deflating is just as quick so you can minimize the pillow and reduce the space it\u2019s going to take up.<\/p>\n<p>The pillow also has an ergonomic design so there\u2019s proper support for your neck, and it is adjustable as well. You can set the pillow down your side or across your torso, or put it on like an airline seat tether.<\/p>\n<p>The pillow is also versatile and can be used in different situations such as camping, cars, trains, airport terminals, and even at home.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s fully washable too.<\/p>\n<p>If this is your first time to use this pillow, don\u2019t be surprised if it only takes 3 to 4 breaths to fully inflate it, and deflating and rolling only takes moments.<\/p>\n<p>One of the more difficult aspects with most travel pillows is they take too much time, but fortunately this is an exception to the rule.<\/p>\n<p>As an inflatable, the Travelrest is quite comfortable, and the soft cover won\u2019t cause any skin allergies or affect your pressure points.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s important is that you use it properly so both your head and neck are supported as you sit on the plane, train or car.<\/p>\n<h3>Aeris<\/h3>\n<p>This is a memory foam pillow that provides complete neck support as you rest during travel. The Aeris Travel pillow, which comes with a portable bag, is machine wash safe and even comes with free ear plugs and a sleep mask.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of design the Aeris looks great, but more than that, its visco-elastic memory foam contours to the shape of your neck, so you\u2019re not going to feel any bumps.<\/p>\n<p>With the memory foam, the pillow slowly yields and doesn\u2019t offer much resistance until the weight is evenly distributed. When you lift your weight off, the pillow will resume its original shape.<\/p>\n<p>Without being too technical, it\u2019s enough to say that the Aeris pillow will allow your neck and head to rest in a natural position regardless whether you\u2019re on a plane or car.<\/p>\n<p>The more you use the pillow the more it provides relief for any pain you\u2019re feeling, and it also reduces the tiredness you feel, thus improving sleep quality.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the Aeris pillow promotes better blood circulation and gets rid of the muscle tension that you may be experiencing.<\/p>\n<p>The pillow is also effective for eliminating restlessness, which is commonplace when trying to sleep during a long travel.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_for_Buyers\"><\/span>Tips for Buyers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Pillows for travel come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and while you want one that\u2019s large enough to provide support for your head and neck, it mustn\u2019t be too large to the point it becomes a burden to carry.<\/p>\n<p>The shape however, is of immense importance because it also determines the kind of support your neck will receive as you sleep.<\/p>\n<p>U-shaped pillows are the most common because they function as a cradle for your neck, and it also provides support even when you\u2019re sitting upright.<\/p>\n<p>The J shaped, like the one featured here, is just as good because the tail of the J supports your neck, and more importantly, provides chin support as well as a cushion for your head and back. Plus, it keeps your head from falling.<\/p>\n<p>The wedge-shaped pillow is designed primarily to support your spine and back, while the cylinder types reduce the pain on your back and neck.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, these pillows can be used in different positions like lying down or sitting. You will also find pillows shaped like collars so they go around your neck, and there\u2019s a strap that secures the collar\u2019s sides.<\/p>\n<p>As far as material goes there are a lot of options available ranging from natural to synthetic. When it comes to inflatable pillows however, the most commonly used is plastic, but many other kinds are now employed.<\/p>\n<p>Also keep in mind that just because it\u2019s plastic doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not comfortable, as the quality has improved greatly. As for the inflatable vs. non-inflatable pillow, the best choice for travelers is the inflatable.<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of good non-inflatable pillows, but inflatables don\u2019t take up as much room, easy to clean and light. In contrast, non-inflatable pillows can be difficult to carry and too much of a hassle especially if you\u2019re already carrying a lot of stuff.<\/p>\n<p>And in terms of quality, the inflatables are not far off anyway so you really have nothing to lose.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Travel_Pillow_Guide\"><\/span>Best Travel Pillow Guide<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As to which of the travel pillow products above are the best, the answer is they should all make for a nice travel companion.<\/p>\n<p>Some might prefer one over the other, but regardless which of these you pick you can expect a more comfortable time whether you\u2019re on the road or on flight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Best Travel Pillow &#8211; A travel pillow is an essential travel accessories whether you\u2019re traveling by rail, air or car as it will make the trip more comfortable.
