Travelrest Ultimate Travel Pillow review

The Travelrest Ultimate Travel Pillow is an inflatable pillow for people who sleep leaning to one side. Its patented ergonomic shape runs down along the side of the head, neck and torso, and it can attach to the wings of an airline seat or a car headrest. On seats without a high back you sling the tether cord over your head and shoulder and wear it like a messenger bag, so the pillow stays put. Travelrest says it inflates in 3 to 4 puffs and deflates in seconds, and it rolls up to 3 x 10 inches and attaches to luggage. It comes in four colors. Care is basic: hand wash with soapy water, line dry and keep water out of the valve. It does nothing for a head that drops forward, and it only supports one side, so it fits window and aisle sleepers who always lean the same way more than middle seat flyers. At $29.95 it is the cheapest pillow on this list.
