HEAD AND SHOULDERS

The race to find the best, most ergonomic airline
pillow is on, with the focus on being compact
and comfortable and a good replacement for the
old-school inflatables and the slightly dorky but
ubiquitous U-shaped bean-bag versions. Here are
two of the next-gen options that we like the look of:

1. THE BULLREST
Did you know that bulls have the strongest neck
of any animal? Which explains the name of the
BullRest. A complete new look for the neck-rest
pillow, the BullRest is smaller and more ergonomic,
engineered by medical professionals to offer better
support, keeping the head stable for anybody
who needs some quality sleep on their flight. The
BullRest is constructed from memory foam to
custom-fit to everybody’s neck, and with its central
cut-out it won’t cause you to overheat in mid-flight.
Every BullRest comes in a pouch and clip for easy
packing and easy access mid-flight. It is designed to
fit in a carry-on bag.

2. GOSLEEP 2-IN-1
The GoSleep offers exactly what it says, a two-in-
one option with a memory foam pillow and an eye
mask. That means not just comfort for the head and
neck but darkness, allowing for better quality sleep.
As well as supporting the neck, the design keeps
sleeping travellers’ heads from dropping forward,
promoting better posture, and helping prevent those
pesky stiff neck problems. Put the pillow behind
your neck, then put on the light-blocking eye mask.
Secure the wide strap around your head and wrap
the elastic ties around the headrest. Adjust toggles
to your liking and enjoy your mid-flight sleep.
