The ‘Loop’ travel pillow comfortably wraps around your neck to give you the soft support you need

Posted on by

I’ll admit it’s been a significant while since I’ve traveled internationally, although a staple accessory to long flights is my neck pillow… an object I truly have a love-hate relationship with. I have to confess that I love the IDEA of a neck pillow. I’m a lanky dude with a long neck and it does ache when I try to catch a nap on long journeys, however, I’ve never been able to find the perfect neck pillow. I’ve tried those inflatable ones (they’re horrible), the microbead ones (they’re average), and my current go-to is a memory foam one – it provides the right amount of stiffness, but the shape doesn’t suit me. Fast forward to the year 2022 and I come across the Vesta Loop Pillow which just has me asking… what if I could ‘design’ the shape of my neck pillow?

Most accurately described as a flexible neck-noodle, the Loop Pillow redefines the archetype of a U-shaped neck pillow. Its infinitely adjustable loop design lets you tightly or loosely wind it around your neck, and gives you the right amount of lift near your shoulder to rest your head. The pillow’s innovation lies in the fact that it isn’t designed like a pillow… if you personally ask me, it reminds me of the neck rings worn by the Ndebele tribal folk in Africa, albeit MUCH more comfortable.

The pillow’s flexible design lets you adjust it in a way that’s useful for all sorts of sleeping positions, be it with your head resting forwards, on the sides, or even the back. The Loop Pillow comes made from a thermo-sensitive memory foam that molds perfectly to the contours of your neck, and a moisture-wicking, breathable outer cover that keeps your neck and head dry. The cover comes with two colors, corresponding to the pillow’s warm side and cool side, letting you effectively choose what gives you more comfort.

Unique ‘gooseneck’ inner structure maintains the pillow’s structure and support while also making it easily customizable.

Thermo-sensitive memory foam molds perfectly to the contours of your neck to help maintain natural alignment.

The Loop Pillow, although perfect for travel, works in other scenarios too. Its ability to support and comfort the neck makes it perfect for long work hours, so you don’t develop a strained or sore neck from hunching in front of your laptop.

Its compact shape means you can easily carry it on trips once global traveling resumes with full force… hopefully soon.

Each Loop Pillow comes with a machine-washable case that lets you keep the pillow fresh and clean (nobody likes a sweaty, musty pillow), along with earplugs and a soft bamboo-fabric eye-mask. You can even upgrade your purchase to include a dual-sided hypoallergenic travel blanket made from the same silky-soft bamboo fabric!

We Found a Travel Pillow that Ticks All the Boxes!

Posted on by

Here are a couple of features I look for in a travel pillow. They need to be A. comfortable, B. compact, C. effortless to set-up, and D. size-adjustable. My favorite pillow boils down to how well it scores in the aforementioned rating areas, often accommodating for low scores in one of those departments because frankly, no pillow is perfect… or so I thought before I came across the Candy Cane pillow.

It’s rare, and it requires a great deal of confidence to say that the Candy Cane pillow has no drawbacks. It doesn’t compromise on comfortability, compactness, set-up time, or even size-adjustability. Probably the most portable pillow on the market, the Candy Cane folds and rolls up to literally the size of a lemon. When folded, it practically fits in your palm and can be carried in your pocket, or stashed anywhere in your bag for using later. Unfold it and the pillow opens into a flat, long fabric that’s ready to be inflated. Inflating the Candy Cane quite literally takes seconds too. You can either blow into it, filling it with one or two breaths, or hold its air-inlet near a breezy air source like an air-conditioner vent. The Candy Cane instantly takes shape, and when you’re satisfied with how inflated it is, fold the air-inlet and clamp it shut.

Unlike most doughnut-shaped travel pillows, the Candy Cane comes in a much longer shape that allows you to adjust its size as well as supports your chin (something that is an oversight with most other travel pillows). An elastic band on one end secures to the other end of the cane, sliding up and down, tightening or loosening the pillow around your neck while also giving you the ability to adjust the way the Candy Cane is placed, letting you use it to sleep sitting, or lying down, or even against a wall. The pillow’s extension even lets a partner sleep comfortably against your shoulder, making the Candy Cane the only travel pillow that can be used by two people at the same time.

On the comfort front, the Candy Cane performs just as well as most other pillows. With a moisture-wicking outer fabric that prevents sweaty cheeks and necks, the Candy Cane stays cool and comfortable through your snooze, while an inner polymer lining adds durability to the pillow’s construction. The Candy Cane holds its shape depending on how much air is inside it, allowing you to customize how stiff or cushioned it is, and effectively decide the level of softness you want from your travel pillow.

It’s rare to have a product so effectively tick all the boxes. The Candy Cane is unbelievably compact, and doesn’t even require effort to set up. It’s comfortable for one person, and can adjust in size and orientation to work for two people too. Besides, its unusual shape allows it to be used virtually in any way possible, because true comfort doesn’t lie in rigidity, it lies in allowing you to choose what suits you!

Ask any traveller and they’ll tell you that in the fast-paced globetrotting world the saying goes “If you don’t snooze, you lose”. When you’re rushing between time-zones, or cities, or even within the city, one small power-nap does wonders. The Voyage Pillow by Sondre Travel is the perfect solution for anyone who wants to catch a few winks while traveling. Unlike those atrocious U-shaped travel pillows that look unsightly and occupy volumes of space, the Voyage is compact, some may say perfectly-sized even… for carrying around with you on flights, train-journeys, or even long road-trips.

At barely a third of the footprint of your regular travel pillow, the Voyage pillow does the job twice as well, allowing you to sleep with your head to the back, or even the side. It comes with a strap that secures itself around your neck so you don’t drop it, or leave it behind by mistake (we’ve all done it), plus the strap even doubles up as an eye mask, allowing you to get effective sleep virtually anywhere.

The Voyage pillow’s microbead pillow give you all-round comfort by adapting to your body. The Spandex fabric construction fits everyone and feels soft to the touch, allowing one to comfortably drift into sleep. Available in a variety of colors, users can choose between a classic Midnight Black, a dreamy Ocean Blue, or a rejuvenating Sunset Red. With its compact design, it fits comfortably into any suitcase giving you ample space to pack other important things as well. Essentially doing the job of a comfortable travel pillow, and an eye mask when needed, the Voyage pillow allows you to effectively rest on the go, in any which way you feel comfortable… because we all know that jet-lag can be a complete drag!

Sleep Anywhere with the Wrap-a-Nap Travel Pillow

Posted on by

There are all kinds of travel pillows for you to choose from. Some are simple while others are high tech. Let’s face it, you don’t really care how it works as long as it lets you nap efficiently and puts you in some sort of cocoon so you can pretend that other people don’t exist. The Wrap-a-Nap Travel Pillow looks like a good contender.

This nap pillow will let you rest your head against any hard surface, like an airplane window for instance, and since it also wraps around your eyes, it blocks out the light. But that’s not all. It blocks sounds too! It basically gives you the illusion that you are alone in the world. therefore letting you sleep deeply.

It’s a simple way to block your senses from external stimuli. It’s only $20(USD), a bargain to trick your mind into thinking you are alone in a plane full of people.
