I saw a travel version of this recently, for use on airplanes, trains etc.

Seems like a good idea (apart from folk reclining their seats mid-snooze), but they also seemed way too bulky to be useful for travelling. What I need is a truly portable version!



This is the first thing I thought of too. Those travel pillows don't work for me at all because I never feel like I'm "reclining". Out of a sense of empathy (as a person tall enough to feel incredibly cramped in airplane seats), I only put my seat back if the flight is longer than 5 hours (i.e. international travel). The only way I'm able to sleep is by resting my arms/head on the tray table. A travel version of this would be a game changer. The only drawback is if you really pass out and start drooling :)


Yeah there’s an inflatable version but it doesn’t work well if the person in front of you reclines. If it was four inches taller you’d have the bottom part on your lap rather than the tray and it’d be pretty great

I've asthma, and literally can't even blow up a balloon without feeling like I'm about to pass out! This could work for a lot of people tho.
