We are totally baffled by the Travelrest inflatable travel pillow. From its look and design, we highly doubted that it works. After all, it only supports one side of the head and it has this weird looking long curved portion that doesn’t look like it is of much use. But not only does it work, we put the Travelrest inflatable travel pillow right up there next to the Cabeau Evolution Travel Pillow as one of the best travel pillows.
The Travelrest travel pillow takes the traditional horseshoe shaped travel pillow design, throws it completely out of the window and gets redesigned from scratch. It has a wider section for resting your head on and the tapered section for you to hold on to and snuggle against. At the head rest section, there is a tether that can be looped over a headrest or the back of the seat for support. If the seat has no back, you can loop the tether over the bottom flap fastener and then slip the pillow over your back like a messenger bag. This is known as the “freestyle” method.
Although it looks rather huge compared to a normal travel pillow, the Travelrest travel pillow can be inflated in as little as two full puffs and can be quickly deflated in seconds. Once deflated, it rolls up for easy storage. The bottom fastening flap can be used to secure the rolled up pillow to your luggage handle.
The Travelrest travel pillow works so well because it simulates lying on a pillow and hugging another. Having the narrow section across the chest is somehow highly comforting and really helps in falling asleep. The only problem is getting past the initial awkwardness of using it for the very first time. But once we got comfortable, we couldn’t care less what others think.
