I purchased the TravelRest for a trip I was taking at the end of 2009. I’ve never been able to easily sleep on a plane, as my head would always fall forward and I’d wake up, or I’d get a stiff neck from leaning my head back. The TravelRest alleviated this problem! As it states, it took only 3-4 breaths to blow it up, and I positioned it like the picture shows so that my head leaned against the top part of the “pillow”. I was able to sleep without my head falling forward or off to the side. I did have a window seat, so I comfortably leaned toward the window as opposed to the person sitting next to me – I’m not sure if I could be as comfortable using it if I had a middle seat or an aisle seat. Guess it depends on how self-conscious you are if you are sitting next to a stranger.

Used the TravelRest to and from London. Much better than a horseshoe type pillow. Wrapping around yourself rather than the seat is the most practical deployment–that way you don’t need to “invade” your neighbor’s private space. I’d would have liked to see a larger version (lengthwise) because it seemed a little tight on a big guy.
