 Meh...OkApr 05, 2010
I purchased this product for a trip to Hawaii.
Let me start off by saying I am well trained at sleeping on aircraft. I was very excited to try this pillow and really built up some hype with my wife before the trip.
On the first leg of the trip to California I did not use this pillow and instead used the Head wing of the seat like usual (short flight). The anticipation was mounting and during the next leg I unleashed the travel rest pillow. That's when things became disappointing. A few breaths later and the travel pillow was inflated. Tying the travel pillow around a seat on a plane is unrealistic so I attempted to use it messenger bag style. I struggled with this for a good 10-15 minutes. As we ascended the travel pillow became firmer but never really firm enough no matter how many times I tried to fill it. The messenger bag style I found to be awkward. The head of the pillow fought against the seat and did not provide the neck support I expected. After all the built hype I was not admitting failure especially while my wife grinned as I struggled.
The return flight seemed a bit better. Perhaps because it was late at night or maybe because I was able to get this thing at a better angle. I was able to sleep the majority of the time with minimal neck pain. But mind you I can sleep the entire time anyway so really no props to the travel pillow for that.
Pros: Compact, easy to setup, Better than balling up clothing or a blanket, alleviates majority of neck pain, also eliminates majority of head bobbing.
Cons: takes effort to switch sides that is not conducive to sleep, String and stitching can scratch and irritate, never really feels firm or supportive enough, awkward, works for aisle and window seats but a little too bulky for middle (United). Expensive compared to normal mircobead travel pillows.
Overall: Its ok. I didn't find that it lived up to all the hype of the previous comments. My wife certainly doesn't want one.
US to Europe... No problemJan 11, 2010
Used this on a flight from US to Europe. Was able to sleep 3 hours on the plane using this pillow. (I normally can't sleep on planes or end up with a terrible neck crick.)
Giving it 4 stars instead of 5 since I couldn't get it around the top of the seat. (Not to mention the weird looks. Or maybe it was interest. :o)
I ended up using it messenger bag style and it worked pretty well that way though. (See the manual or their website for details.)
Either way I was able to sleep, even with 4 people beside me and two babies in bassinets on the bulkhead in front of me. :o)

 Great ProductDec 14, 2009
I bought this pillow for a trip to the EU. The pillow exceeded my expectations and compared favorably to the traditional horseshoe shaped travel pillow. The shape and design of the pillow make it easy to use and comfortable. All you have to do is attached one end to the seatbelt and the other around your body. The pillow doesn't move around because of these attachments and sits perfectly right under your chin.
Just bought one for my girlfriend for our trip to Vietnam.

Best Travel PillowOct 29, 2009
I have tried at least 5 other travel pillows and this is definitely the best one. The only thing that supported my neck better than this device was a hard cervical collar that I used after I had neck surgery. That piece of equipment is too bulky and not really practical. (Although it does allow you to board early)
The Travel Rest collapses into an extremely small pouch. It only takes a few breaths to blow it up. It works really well especially if you don't have a window seat. Wearing it in a messenger bag style, as one of the other reviewers pointed out, works best. This is a startup company and it is currently their only product. There are product service is excellent and personalized. This product is a great value for the money and it arrived extremely quickly. I am buying a second one for my wife.
