Travelrest Nest review

The Travelrest Nest is a memory foam pillow that rests across the neck and shoulders rather than closing around the chin. Travelrest uses thermo-sensitive foam that molds to the contours of the neck and shoulders to help keep a natural alignment, and a non-slip backing holds it in place against the seat, which solves the common problem of a pillow creeping up or down during a long flight. The included stuff sack compresses it to a quarter of its size, and its drawstring hooks onto a telescoping luggage handle. The zipped velour cover comes off for a gentle machine wash, and Travelrest adds a pair of earplugs. The design has no chin strap or front clasp, so it does less to stop the head dropping forward than Trtl, Cabeau or BCOZZY; it suits people who sleep with their head tipped back or to one side. Travelrest also warns against storing the pillow in its sack between trips. The page showed $49.99, with a $39.95 price also listed.
