We’ve all know the feeling of dread on a long haul flight cramped in coach class. The Journey Pillow is a premium travel pillow whose unique design attaches to your seatbelt or waistband. Created to make long trips more bearable; the pillow makes it possible to rest comfortably while sitting up. It can be used on a plane or other modes of transportation.
“We are excited about the impact Journey Pillow will have on the travel industry. This product will revolutionize travel by eliminating the desire for preferred seating,” says neurophysiologist and CEO of Journey Pillow, Anthony Williams.
Williams and his co-founders, all avid travelers, including his sister Candace, have been working to find a miracle cure for sleepless flights for the last two years. Retailing at $40, The Journey Pillow is a compact U-shaped travel pillow, weighing a mere 0.9 pounds, whose features include: memory foam, velour casing, and non-slip clips.
“By allowing your neck to stay in alignment anywhere you sleep, the Journey Pillow helps travelers realize the health benefits of adequate sleep,” Williams says.”The Journey Pillow was designed to provide all passengers in any plane or vehicle a comfortable travel experience. The challenges presented while traveling are frequent and unpredictable, often times prolonging your estimated arrival time. We have not yet mastered how to eliminate those variables; however, we have mastered the support and comfort your neck needs to enjoy deep sleep. We know from personal experience, how uncomfortable travel accommodations can be. That is why we have dedicated ourselves to life’s crazy journey: with more comfort, more support, and more sleep.”
