Customer Reviews

Clean, Reliable Pillow4
The best features of this pillow are:

1) The soft fleece cover is removable for machine washing, does not shrink and is color fast.

2) The actual pillow is made of a slightly stretchy poly/rubber/vinyl material that will *not* pop & break during ascent due to the air inside of them expanding, unlike many other inflatable pillows. With a little care to not overinflate before ascent and a little venting when needed, this pillow is very forgiving.

3) Pillow folds/rolls up into the pocket on the cover.

While comfort is subjective to each individual, this pillow is very reliable. I've had my pillow over 16 years and it is stll going strong.

I have bought many of these pillows as gifts for colleagues and other fellow travelers who had to deal with popped-pillows.

My travel must-have5
I am a 5'3" petite woman and the size of this pillow is perfect for me. I've tried the regular sized Comfort Travel Pillow but found it too bulky to to comfortable if I must tilt my head back. However, if you have wider shoulders, a regular sized version may be a better fit.

I've been traveling with an inflatable neck pillow for years and I won't leave home without it. It's hard to sleep upright without any neck support. Be them air travels, car trips, or train rides, having one handy is very reassuring.

As for inflatable inner leaking air. If you have a repair kit for your sleeping pad (you know, the thing to be put under your sleeping bag while camping), you can use it to repair the pillow. If all else fail, stuff the micro fleece cover with a t-shirt to fill it up. It works the same.

Most sites sell this product for close to $20. The $15 offered by Amazon is the best price I can find. You won't regret this investment.
